"I am speechless. Mark's input was over-the-top fabulous, just like the man himself. He over-delivered and was patient, helpful, kind, and open. He whipped together an entire living room for my family's mountain house with his trademark All-American sensibility, all the way down to the leading edge tape on the drapery! I cannot wait to book him again for the master bedroom. Book MDS- you'll be blown away."

"Enjoyed meeting Mark on Zoom. I have admired his work for years, have the books, follow on Instagram and this was a total treat! He gave me some great advice on how we could create a more calm space for our Hawaiian condo with livingroom furniture tweeks/reconfiguration, making an entrance with built-in bookcases, and help on bedroom wallpaper selection and application detail. And window treatments! The hour consult was very helpful. "
