  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. Best, Barbara and Michael Walters

  Where do i start, working with Blane was a wondeful experience,he called me one day before to talk about the goals i had and then next day he showed on time and before I know we are 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 selection and it really has help 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.

  Thank you so much Blane! Today's purge was such catharsis..I don't know that I could/would have made such tremendous progress without you. Just knowing my closest is in order makes order in the rest of my place/life feel within reach and I'm motivated to keep purging and editing bit by bit until I'm in balance again :)

  Blane came out to NJ, even during a snow storm to help me edit my closet, the time flew and before I knew it my closet was organized with only the clothes left that worked for me, he was an absolute pleasure and made the experience fun!! As we went through he had me make a list of things he thought I need to comete my wardrobe...which is a huge help!!!! Thank you Blane!!!!!!!!!!!!

  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.

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
  I offer a sliding scale for my services to accommodate my wide range of clientele. If I'm working on a long term project, we agree upon a rate and draw up a contract for that project. When I work with students, or someone in a lower income bracket, I offer a group rate or two hours for the price of one hour.
• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
  I'm very personable, a joy to work with, and come with a roll up my sleeves let's get to work attitude! I'm committed to walking away having you feel like you are on top of the world, because you are! To get started with this exciting partnership, we have our clients fill out a brief survey and email it back to us, so that we can get to know them a little better before our first consultation. For each consultation we set our intention at the beginning so we are all on the same page and proceed from there. We then catagorize what to keep, store, donate, or trash. At the end of each season we check in and refresh, edit, repair, and update your wardrobe and or interiors.
• What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
  Yes, I am continuing my education as a student at The Fashion Institute of Technology.
