TESTIMONIAL
"Marc is so talented and has a great eye for design as well as comfortable living spaces.
We had some lovely pieces of furniture but just couldn't place them quite right. We didn't want to part with them and weren't interested in a total overhaul of our home.
Marc was so great at listening to us to help us create living spaces that were comfortable and liveable as well as beautiful. He rearranged each piece of furniture to its best advantage.
Dave and I get compliments from family and friends about our "new" home and furniture." — M.S.
TESTIMONIAL
Dear Marc
We used your services at our salon to create a wonderful working space. You were able to utilize the architecture and existing furnishings and added beautiful artwork and additional furnishings. The effect was fabulous.
Thank you for making our salon a beautiful and functional as well as relaxing oasis.

TESTIMONIAL
Ten years ago we moved to a smaller home and came to realize how frustrating it can be to try to fit your ‘old’ furnishings into your ‘new’ home. Then, Chasen Galleries introduced us to Marc Cates and Arlyn Gleason of A Perfect Setting.
After meeting with Marc and Arlyn, we literally turned our problem over to them. We were so completely certain that they understood our dilemma and the comfort we sought that we willing agreed to leave our house in their hands for a day. When we walked back into our home, it was absolutely stunning what they had accomplished with our existing furnishings and living space. The living space was much more inviting, comfortable and uncluttered. The Marc and Arlyn team was able to capture our life style and tastes with the arrangement of the furniture and the placement of pictures and accessories.
Now we linger longer with our morning coffee in our comfortable space. Our family and friends are amazed by the transformation that they were able to achieve. The space has that ‘right’ feeling that we sought when we moved to a smaller home.
