Super-rich: Spending money is just a job!

Xiaomeng looked at the furniture section on the fifth floor of SKP, but none of the styles there were suitable for small homes.

They are generally not space-saving compact models, and are only suitable for placement in large mansions and houses.

After browsing through the furniture section, Xiaomeng only bought a few genuine leather lounge chairs designed by a Finnish designer.

ARTEK, comfortable to lie on, 67,000 per ticket.

I bought them and put two in the study of the lake-view villa and two in the large apartment in the city center. They'll fit perfectly.

Anyway, the interior designer said that this style of furniture is compatible.

The house in Courtyard No. 7 is too small, only 75 square meters, so we need to consider the space utilization issue more.

This is when you should use your financial power.

Xiaomeng contacted the owner of Meiju Company, the company that designed and renovated her house, and asked him to recommend a reliable designer colleague from Beijing to help her purchase furniture.

Ms. Mao, a graduate school classmate of the owner of Meiju Company, now works as an independent designer in Beijing. She makes a living by designing small scenes for big clients and sourcing small furniture items.

When there's work, I work; when there's no work, I manage a small farm in the suburbs.

Xiaomeng offered her 1,000 yuan a day to help her select and purchase suitable furniture.

Ms. Mao arrived from the suburbs around 10 a.m.

Xiaomeng first took her to the house to measure the interior dimensions, and then told her that the house would house three people: two adults and one baby.

When the children are young, the family has to hire a nanny, which adds another person to the household.

Therefore, the most urgent requirement for this house is that it should be convenient for raising children.

Or rather, all the arrangements must basically revolve around the theme of childcare.

Ms. Mao said she understood. She quickly sketched out design drawings on the spot, telling Xiaomeng what the approximate effect would be and what items would be needed for the home.

What can be bought offline, and what can be bought online?

After Xiaomeng agreed, Ms. Mao took her straight to the Temple of Heaven Furniture City in Beijing and bought several large items for the home according to size and style.

Bed, sofa, wardrobe, dining table and chairs, etc.

For her bed, Xiaomeng chose a zero-gravity smart bed, the same model used by Olympic athletes, with a matching Olympic-style mattress. There are several lying flat modes to choose from.

A single bed that is 1.5 meters wide only costs a little over 50,000.

This bed, with such advanced technology and such a large size, is actually cheaper than the Finnish chair I bought yesterday.

Xiaomeng felt she had made a profit.

I bought the 1.8-meter model for my sister, which was only a few thousand yuan more expensive. It even has separate controls on both sides!

The two halves of the bed can be used in different ways.

For example, if the child is sleeping on the left and needs to lie flat, while the older child is lying on the right and can't fall asleep, she can use a zero-gravity mode with her legs raised. Both sides can be controlled independently without disturbing each other.

Great, thumbs up for this bed.

Ms. Mao chose a suitable integrated stove for Xiaomeng's kitchen. It's from Mars, and it only costs a little over 20,000 yuan. With a designer present, the style was decided directly, and someone was arranged to come and install it the next day.

I had my kitchen cabinets customized at a national brand store, since it's a kitchen and needs more storage space.

For easier cleaning, I ordered cabinets with stainless steel countertops.

This kitchen cabinet set costs just over 1,000 yuan per meter. That's very affordable in Beijing. The entire kitchen cabinet set cost only 40,000 yuan.

I bought a convertible dining table. When it's folded up, it's half the size of when it's fully open, which is exactly what I need for a small apartment.

We only bought four presidential chairs for the dining room, at 4 yuan each, which is just enough.

The sofa I bought has a wooden frame and leather cushions. It's a factory brand and cost a little over 1000 yuan. The leather cushions are easy to clean and don't easily stir up dust, making it suitable for families with children, as it helps prevent respiratory illnesses.

I bought a small side table to use instead of a coffee table.

Instead of buying a coffee table, I'll buy a few low cabinets to place against the wall in the living room for storing small items.

This cloud-shaped wooden side table is small and light, and costs less than 100 yuan. It feels much more useful than those heavy coffee tables.

In the future, when the children in the family want to play, romp, and crawl around in the living room, adults can easily move the side table away to make room without worrying about the children bumping into the sharp corners of the coffee table.

Xiaomeng didn't buy a bedside table; instead, she bought a foldable dressing table to replace the bedside table and desk in the room.

The solid wood dressing table, which costs a little over a thousand yuan, feels very sturdy and looks like it could last for decades.

The wardrobe in the room was purchased directly according to the designer's measurements. It uses sliding doors to save space. The designer carefully selected the sturdy boards, and each wardrobe cost less than 1 yuan.

After selecting the furniture, the designer also helped us choose home appliances.

I selected a refrigerator, washing machine, and dryer that were the right size for my home.

The old prefabricated house didn't have underfloor heating, so the designer recommended a graphene underfloor heating mat that could be placed in the living room to Xiaomeng.

It's 4 meters x 2.5 meters, which can be placed in front of the living room sofa, and the price is less than 3000 yuan.

In Beijing's winters, without underfloor heating, young children crawling on the floor can easily catch a cold. Underfloor heating mats can address this shortcoming.

Xiaomeng thought this designer was incredibly thoughtful.

They've taken good care of everything.

Ms. Mao is a very responsible worker. When the furniture was delivered the next day, she came over again to help supervise the placement of the furniture.

Xiaomeng thought she was very kind. After settling the 2000 yuan hiring fee for the two days, she agreed that she would ask her for help again if she needed to do any more business such as decoration or procurement in the future.

Looking at the house with the furniture already arranged, Xiaomeng took a few photos and sent them to her sister.
