**★★★★★ — Genevieve Miller, April 2014**

> We found Michael to be very knowledgeable and professional designer. He help my husband and I remodel our Laguna Niguel home. I was pleased with the results and his ideas were very valuable. His pricing was reasonable for his design services, furnishings and window coverings. We did hire his cabinet company and painter whose work was great. Our contractor was pleased to work with him as he understood the construction process and timing to keep everything moving on schedule. I have already referred him to one of our friends for their bath remodel.

**★★★★★ — jameslankford, Nov. 2012**

> We hired Macaluso Designs on a recommendation. We had just purchased a new home and had to coordinate reusing some existing furnishings with the purchase of new furniture, draperies, art and area rugs to complete our new residence. Michael's knowledge and expertise guided us through this process and made our decision making easy. He was respectful of our buget and we were extremely pleased with how our home turned out. I would recommend Michael if you are in need of a talented designer.

Love the feel of the whole room.

**Q: are these wood panels or shadow boxes?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Not sure what your asking, but he ceiling is all wood. It is made up of box beams, panels and molding.

**Q: What color are the walls?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: The paint for the game room was a Frazee paint product named: Pompadour \# AC129N

**Q: What kind of wood is the door?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: The door is made from alder wood. There is clear alder and Knotty alder. The knotty alder has a more rustic look as it has knots in the wood.
Best regards, Macaluso Designs.
