**★★★★★ — Kenny Formica, Sept. 2018**

> Laurie is great to work with always a pleasure and never disappoints! Have been working with her for years on many different projects and she always comes up with fresh updated looks and really understand her clients wants and needs. Can not recommend her enough!

**★★★★★ — letscleanse, June 2014**

> We moved to Florida and we were referred by one of our friends to work with Window Romance Interiors. We needed almost everything.  We didn't know where to begin.
> We hired them for a paint consultation and we sat down with Laurie discussing our vision.  Laurie took notes and pictures and measured the rooms.  She didn't give us paint suggestions at that point, but told us she will come back with a presentation with paint colors, fabrics for window treatments and home accents.We needed much more then paint throughout the house.    Window Romance was so wonderful.  Everything was expedited in a timely fashion and everyone that comes to our home loves what we did.  Thanks so much.  I will definitely recommend you and your company to all my friends.

**Comment from Design Expectations:**

> Thanks so much Kim.  We had a great time and we are glad that everything turned out the way you wanted.

**★★★★★ — sammydog02, Dec. 2013**

> Design expectations helped me to update my house to make it look beautiful. The decorator was friendly and very  informative. She came with many books and was patient in helping me pick out drapes and pillows. I would recommend her to help you improve your home.

**Comment from User:**

> Thank you Freda for your kind words.  We had a good time and a lot of laughs. We posted your before and after.  Paint color and choosing the taupe and cream really made a totally new look.

**★★★★★ — Jodi Hannula, July 2013**

> Design expectations made my home look beautiful.  Laurie was very professional and courteous.  She took her time with me until I was completely happy with the end result.  I ordered window treatments for my living room and dining room.  They came in and were installed in a timely matter.  I will call them again when I redecorate my bedrooms.  Thank you Design Ezpectations!

**Comment from User:**

> Window Treatments really give the finishing touches.  The wood blind and upholstered cornice brought a warm cozy look into this living area. The silk faux fabric in warm copper, brick, burgandy in an all over embroidered floral just complimented the leather sectional and warm wood floors.

**★★★★★ — Nancy Degratto, April 2013**

> Laurie Martino is one of the nicest people I know , aside from being a fantastic decorator. She works with you side by side and  works with your color schemes and puts together  a beautiful room. she has great ideas . not the  everyday look.  anyone who chooses to have her decorate will not be disappointed.    a happy client...

**Comment from User:**

> Thanks so much for the kind words.  It was so much fun redesigning the living room using the warm tones in wood wovens and restyling the layout.  Looking forward in working with you on your next project.

**★★★★★ — 80dimensions, July 2012**

> Design Expectations was great to work with.  Professional, very customer oriented and most important helped me create my dream home.  Paint colors, fabrics, furniture choices and home accents were brilliant.  We are so pleased with them.  Most of all  everything was on time.

**★★★★★ — truegemini615, July 2012**

> I was so overwelmed with my new home.  Design Expectations made everything so easy for me and my husband.  We are very contemporary and many designers on the island are into Tuscany.  We wanted a clean look with pop of colors and they did it.  We are so thrilled with the ourtcome of everything.  We are very impressed with their professionalism and somewhat down to earth appeal.  They will be doing our home in LBI starting in September.
