D'zander Interiors

We were sourcing for curtain supplier for the last few weeks. We knew what we want (the brand, name and part number of the curtain fabric and the timber blinds) and we visited 5 curtain shops (recommended by friends and other Livia owners) for quotations. The price difference between the highest quote and the lowest quote is approximately 20%. And of course, we chose and signed up with the one that offering the best deal, not only because of their pricing but also their great services. We would strongly recommend D'zander Interiors (www.dzander.com.sg) to anyone looking for top quality curtain and soft furnishing at a great price. The lady boss Doris Yang is very friendly, helpful and professional and we feel very comfortable dealing with her. As far as we know, there are quite a number of Livians also using her services.

16. Poor joining and unevenness of timber strips 

17.Glass - BW, door & bathroom glass- scratches, chipped and crack at corners.

Note: 

(i) Critical tools for inspection - color post-it-note pads and market pens

(ii) Check hollowness in tiles or timber stripes, use the wooden end of the screw driver to knock on the floor. Good - if the sound is sharp "tick". Hollow if it sounds "tock"

(iii) Check the following:
        - Test all the switches
        - Test air-con
        - Test oven
        - Test electric stove
        - Flush WC and check WC for cracks

The beginning of Liviadventure....

Due to popular demand (okay...........just a handful of people:-)), I have decided to keep this blog open for a little longer.  

After years of anticipation, Livia finally obtained the TOP. A sneak preview of the new Livia on a breezy Sunday afternoon proves that we made a right choice and that the long wait is definitely worth it. We get a real sense of indulgence and are very excited about moving in and meeting our new neighbors. It is the beginning of a new adventure and we will continue to take pictures to capture every part of the process and some wonderful memories - for sharing and for fun. 

I would like to thank you all for your support of thirteen-thirty-livia. As I mentioned in my previous post, this blog has little to offer. But I believe there are Livians out there, especially those who prefer to remain anonymous, will find this blog useful and see this as an alternative platform or avenue to voice their opinion and share experiences. I may not update this blog as frequent as I used to be but do stop by while you are out there surfing the net for you might find something you like!

May all of us find our new addresses bring lots of luck and happiness. Best wishes!

Cheers

our livia
