Happy Spring!!!!
Well I finally figured it out (programming that is). I have the Twitter box on my home page . .almost sounds inappropriate doesn't it. Who would have that that voyeurism could be a good thing? Well my goal with the new Twitter thing is to show you the deals and steals, and post ridiculous pictures of bad and funny and perhaps good design and whatever else I find out there. I get a massive amount of Emails from all things design and rather than bore you to death, I will pick out the good ones and post them as well. Look for them and follow me on twitter at: www.twitter.com/followjason
What Do You Think?
February 27, 2009
For a while now it has become apparent to me that everyone needs a little interior love. And if by love, I mean design advice. I am constantly asked questions from all of my friends, family and colleges about what they should do. Some people (like my parents), I have to force into submission. My mothers favorite thing to tell me is "it's too dark Jason", usually referring to paint colors. However miraculously after the colors is painted, the room "looks really good".
My friends always seem to have a question as well. Any time I stop by, the immediate conversation is . . "So what do you think about. . " To me, this is great. People respect me enough to ask for my opinion.

Interview with Jason Longo, JDL Interiors

1. What sparked your interest in doing design?
When I was a child, my parents bought me Lego sets to put together. I built a Village in my basement and spent countless amounts of time tearing down and rebuilding different homes and businesses. I love the creative ideas and the process that came with assembling this town. I really thought about the functionality of how these little places were made. How a real person would use it. As I grew older, I love to sketch boat and car designs. I also loved the idea of being an architect and seeing things that I envision in my mind, become a reality someday.

Recently I had the pleasure of being interviewed by two different students about my life and business. The first interview below was done by a student and was based on my entrepreneurial history and experience. The Second Interview was about being an Interior Designer. I love sharing this information to help anyone who has questions about either of these topics. Please feel free to ask additional questions here!

I think the best way to start your decorating challenge is to ask yourself, How do I want to feel when I am in this room? Is the answer calm, relaxed, invigorated, energized, unique, warm and cozy . . and the list goes on. These adjectives will help you start with a color pallete for your room. For instance, if someone wanted to feel cool and calm, earth tones mixed with blues and greens would create that serene natural "spa-like" feeling. Whatever you choose in color will give you a good foundation on what to search for when choosing furniture and accessories. From there, add things that have meaning.
