Testimonials
"Where do I start, working with Blane was a wonderful experience, he called me one day before to talk about the goals I had and then the next day he showed up on time and before I know it we were already having fun, we worked on my closet right away and we went through the things together and we came with a list of what we were going to get so we had everything sorted out. Shopping was so fun with Blane, his picks were absolute wonderful and boy he has a clinic eye for every detail, I am so happy with the selections, and it really has helped me to feel more confident about myself. He has great taste and more importantly he is a great person, warm and caring. He really enjoys working with people and what he does. So definitely you will be in good hands with Blane! I will without a doubt keep working with him."
-BEN ESTRADA
"There is only one way to describe Blane. He is a magician. Not only was he able to transform a highly unorganized, cluttered Brooklyn size (pretty small) apartment into an efficient, warm, comfortable and happy to come home to living space, he did it without making us (two semi-hoarders 😊) feel upset or pushed to part with items we had been holding onto for 20 years. Blane has an eye for comfort and design. He is happy to listen to your opinion and if he disagrees clearly explain why other options might work better. His warmth and kindness come through so well making the transformation of your living space into a journey. We can’t speak highly enough of him."
-BARBARA & MICHAEL WALTERS
"I cannot recommend Blane Charles enough!
He is a joy to work with making what can sometimes feel daunting or a chore easy and Easeful.
I was introduced to Blane years ago and hired him to work on a large scale project. The project went so smoothly, Blane was such a delight to work with that and in the end we became friends. When a second project came up almost as large as the first and I needed a warrior to come and help me out, I called Blane immediately and without hesitation. Working with Blane on this new project proved even more Fun! I love Blanes ideas, organizational skills and sheer determination to get a job done in an efficient and timely manner and with flawless results. Blane has a great ability to decipher his clients vision and to align himself with that vision and mirror it back to the client often to a better result than even the client had anticipated.
Blane is a gem, a secret weapon and a lucky charm rolled into one. I feel fortunate to know him now as a friend and i am grateful for his skill and expertise in my business."
-HELENA GREENE, DESIGNER
"Blane Charles is an extremely talented interior designer. Before Blane came on board, PHE at 211 E 13th street was getting modest attention at best. Blane was able to transform the space using what I would consider to be a very limited budget. He was extremely positive the entire time going out and selecting the best furniture possible given the financial constraints. After the furniture arrived and was set up with Blane's direction the apartment was given new life. We had already been on the market 45 days and were looking at another 100+ days to get someone to offer an acceptable price to the owner. Blane even added accents out of his own personal collection to spice the place up even more! After staging we received offers within 30 days and had a signed contract within 45 days! It is with great pleasure that I recommend Blane Charles without reservation."
-GIL CHOWDHURY, LICENSED ASSOCIATE REAL ESTATE BROKER WARBURG REALTY
"Our experience was excellent. Blane was the perfect fit for what we needed. We just moved into a new house (he traveled up to Westchester) and needed to really go through our clothes (me and my wife). He helped sort through, organize and get rid of an overflow of clothing. Initially he came to work with just my wife, but he was so helpful that I had him come back the following day to help me. I can't say enough great things about Blane. There are many closet organizers and many stylists, but he combines both and brought a calming, comforting and positive attitude...while not wasting any time. I would highly recommend Blane to anyone looking for these services."
-CHRIS J. WASSNER, EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT HILLDUN CORPORATION
"I would highly recommend Blane for each aspect of his company. He helped me clear my closet of unwanted and unnecessary clothing. What I didn't know was how much it helped my psyche. Blane has also coached me on wellness, which has been extremely helpful. He is delightful to work with, and in a way that makes you feel very positive. I would highly recommend a Blane session! He's extremely well connected with the most amazing people, helping me to go forward with my furniture designs."
-CHARLENE KEOGH, CEO KEOGH DESIGN INC
"How do I love thee...Let me count the ways!!! Loved you in the shoe department @ BARNEYS NY, and every store we went to...Especially the sorting of my closet. I truly needed you to look at my things with fresh eyes and I had a great time shopping for things I needed. Can't wait to do it again!"
-SHIRLEY COHEN, CO-OWNER CHERYL CLISBY & CO
"I had met Blane years ago when he worked at Barneys. He had suggested several pieces of clothing that are still my "go to" classic looks. Recently, I decided to try to contact Blane to help me get an outfit together for a gala I had to go to. I "found" him through Thumbtack. Blane came over to my apartment to look at what I had and what looked good on me and what I could give away. On another day we went shopping and found the perfect dress for the gala. Blane has a great eye and a terrific, fun personality! My experience was excellent and quite productive! I look forward to working with him again."
