Rapee-Living

Rapee-​Living is an interesting store. It specializes in home furniture and decorations, of a different variety. It’s great because It offers something other than the typical Ikea or Price Rite choices, products that can make a home unique instead of «oh… yea I was going to buy that in Ikea, but I bought something else in Ikea.»
Before I moved to Mui Wo I was on the look out for a few things to fill up the new flat. Naturally I wanted to travel as short a distance as possible, which led me to Rapee-​Living. It’s a small store with a big bed in the middle taking up most of the room. What attracted me most about it was the colorful toys, and small decorations that set it apart. They even had a electronic picture frame/​video frame that I thought was pretty cool. I was not allowed to buy it. We ended up getting a couple of stripy bed sheets, a pair of matching pillows and a little toy that seems to be their mascot. The stuffed toy is everywhere around the shop in different designs and colors but its cute all the same. The prices weren’t bad either and I can see myself building up a little collection of those stuffed toys (for my girlfriend, not me!) over time.
In general Ikea has everything I need, but not everything I want. It is the shops like Rapee-​Living that help add a pinch of spice to an otherwise boring apartment. I’ve noticed that there are a few other RLs around town and I’d definitely have a look in one should I pass by.
