How to render this table?

Question

I would like to render the following table:

               ----------------------------------
               |    Col1           |   Col2     |
-------------------------------------------------
|label 1        |                   |    blah2   |
|               |                   |    blah2   |
----------------        blah1       -------------
|label 2        |       blah1       |    blah3   |
|               |                   |    blah3   |
-------------------------------------------------

How can I do this?

So far, I have done this, by replicating the content:

\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|}
    \hline
                     & Col1 & Col2 \\
    \hline
    \textbf{label 1} & blah1 &  blah2\\
                     & blah1 & blah2\\
    \hline
    \textbf{label 2} & blah1 &  blah3\\
                     & blah1 & blah3\\
    \hline
\end{tabular}

which is not what I would like to do, since it replicates data. I don't know how to unify row1 and row2 of col1.

Nope, this is not about how to remove corner. This is about how to unify rows of a column. — Eleanore, Feb 16 '15 at 15:38
For the border, it seems possible with \cline instead of \hline + multirow for the first column. — Zoxume, Feb 16 '15 at 15:39

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{array}
\newcolumntype{C}[1]{>{\centering\arraybackslash}p{#1}}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{|>{\bfseries}l|C{1cm}|C{1cm}|}
    \cline{2-3}
     \multicolumn{1}{l|}{}& Col1                           & Col2  \\
    \hline
    label 1               & \multirow{2}{1cm}[-4mm]{blah1 blah1} & blah2 blah2\\
    \cline{1-1}\cline{3-3}
    label 2               &                                & blah3 blah3\\
    \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
