**★★★★★ — Cheryl Kacvinsky Foley, Jan. 2014**

> We had just moved into a new much bigger house than before. We needed furniture. We started with the master bedroom. I went to a local high end furniture store and with found a bed I loved from a catalog. I was not aware that furniture stores mark up their product differently, so I began to price shop. I had received a postcard from Valerie Makstell and called them. I spoke with Michael Edwards who couldn't have been more helpful. He ordered swatches to be delivered to my home & quoted me a price for the bed at a much lower price than any other store in Cincinnati or online. The bed was purchased from VMI. When it arrived, there was a line in the fabric from manufacturing. Michael worked with the company & sent out his seamstress to fix the problem at no cost to me. Three years later & I am still in love with my bed. Michael  & I have worked over & over again & have completed the living room & dinning room. Michael is so helpful & honest, I trust his opinion. He is not pushy & won't pressure me into spending money. He always gives me cheaper alternatives when I find a piece that is tres expensive! I recommend Valerie Makstell Interiors & Michael Edwards.

## Community Q&A

**Q: wall color .. HELP** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Iv purchased this couch and dont know what color to place with it on the wall behind it.  I was hoping a blue but do not see many examples of grey couch and blue/grey wall.  Also accent colors??  My furniture has a lot of dark brown in it.  The room has a carpet in it ( off white ).

A: For accent colors- coral, yellow, aqua or red all work well with greys.
