Remember that ad campaign from the 80’s? Well, it’s still on with me…I was with my Mark on Call partner John Haigh in New York in May to give a keynote demo of the Mark on Call app at the D & D building in the Pierre Deux showroom.
It was a gorgeously rainy day and I became really homesick for the hustle and bustle that is decidedly New York….what an electrifying city. Continue Reading…
Glorious is the only word that came to mind as I stood on the dock that extended into Lake MacDonald at the Lake MacDonald Lodge. Glorious. In one instant, like a familiar smell that brings you back to a time long gone, I was transported back to a time that I cherish. Continue Reading…
So it’s the day after Christmas and it looks like a badly lit Black and White photo outside…. nothing worse than LA in the gloom. It almost feels like the life got completely sucked out of it…it did since there is no sun.
Now is the time to look around, take stock and pare down…that is if the economy didn’t do it to you already.
Instead of feeling burdened with the economy, health care debates, explosives on airliners…. be happy with what you have and WHO you have. Continue Reading…
I just returned from visiting my sister and attending a family wedding on the East Coast.
My sister lives in Warrenton, Virginia, outside of Washington DC and the Wedding was in Annapolis, Maryland….what a beautiful part of the country…but I’m biased…these are my roots.
My mothers family is from the Mid Atlantic region and are still in abundance there.
Even though I grew up in Massachusetts, many years and good times were spent here and the family that I love so dearly is still here….these are my roots.
It’s all come full circle as far as my design theory Continue Reading…
Mark On Call(TM) 2.0 for the iPhone and iPod Touch, a major update to the incredibly popular interior design app, makes sharing even easier! Now room designs can be published and stored on the Web where owners of the application can peruse the new “Rooms Gallery”, an aggregated area of all users’ published rooms. From directly inside the app, users can download, customize and apply the room designs of others to their own personal space. The gallery lets users backup rooms, move rooms to another floor plan, create room templates, and collaborate with other designers, clients, friends, family, or Mark On Call users. Continue Reading…
I love labor Day at the beach..always have, always will no matter what. It doesn’t matter which coast, as each has its strengths, beauty and bittersweet, slightly sad, end of summer blahs.
It was a gorgeous day today in Santa Monica as I lay on the beach with my friend John. After a swim, some sun, and generally taking in the beauty that is the Santa Monica coastline…I realized that I was sort of daydreaming and without any thought in my head, was taking the perfect shaped shells and making fingernails out of them….woooooahh…that takes me back.
I remember seemingly endless days at the beach growing up…with my brothers and sisters..all of us would have clamshell earrings on, seaweed necklaces and the occasional hat made of that stuff that looks like black teardrops of I don’t know what mixed with burnt Continue Reading…
Everyone has that list in their head…the list that they must accomplish either before they are too old to enjoy it, move from a certain geographical location or god forbid…die.
My list is endless, as I believe that there are so many wondrous destinations in the world, entertainers or career choices…it’s all good…right?
Not to bore you with my own personal list that could fill a book and that I am sticking to or making my way through. Among the “Dance a waltz in Vienna at Christmas”, “Speed along the winding roads of Monte Carlo on my way to a late Casino outing” or the simple “Eat cucumber salad every Summer in New England with my Dad”…is to see Continue Reading…
Chairs have so many forms, from decorative to pragmatic. The best chairs have a little bit of both; form meets function.
But what do you get when a bunch of serious designers are given the challenge of turning a champagne cork into a classic or contemporary MINI chair? That’s right: the people who design the real stuff got Continue Reading…
This is an email question and answer exchange from a design query sent to Mark. Please feel free to send in your own interior design questions (with images) to Mark Lewison.
Dear Mark,
My parents own a house built in the 1920s which they remodeled/added onto in the early 90s. The old kitchen became a family room and a whole dining room and new kitchen are at the back of the house. Most rooms grew into their new personas, with the exception of one. Continue Reading…
In this detailed video tutorial, I create a room using the interior designer/space planner Mark On Call™ iPhone and iPod Touch app.
