“Charles was great at honing in our varied ideas into something....cohesive and tangible within the context of our new apartment. He has a wealth of knowledge about how paint will play with light and other aspects of the room (flooring, furniture and decor). Charles was great at explaining everything and giving us ideas and options...”

"Working with Charles was not only a fulfilling creative experience, it was an uplifting and inspiring emotional venture. He skillfully gauged my vision and esthetic, then took it to the next level of brilliance. My Chicago vintage is getting the facelift it needs and deserves because of the collaborative and refined spirit of The Paint Tipster. I highly recommend working with Charles if you love design and are looking for a creative partner or if you just need some help seeing the possibilities. 10/10, highly recommend!!"

“Charles was such a great help selecting colors for our family room and fireplace! We showed him a photo and he advised us on the choice of colors. He considered what would complement our furniture. We so appreciate his help.”

”Working off a foundational palette of paint colors that I wanted to work with in our new home, Charles helped us pull together colors to make everything more interesting and cohesive. I had one room in particular, my music studio, which adjoins our main living area, that I really wanted something special for; one, because it’s a creative space; and two, because it is visible from our main living room with attention being drawn by its prominent French doors. Charles absolutely shined in coming up with a rich and unique color palette for that room which, now a year later, still welcomes and inspires, catching great attention from guests. Thank you Charles!“

"A cross country move is stressful enough, then add never seeing the house in person and trying to design! I am so thankful my realtor recommended Charles who made paint selections for my entire home simple, but still fun. He considered our tastes and also offered more adventurous options which turned out beautifully. Additionally, Charles went above and beyond by giving other design suggestions for our home I would never have thought of and appreciated. I would recommend him to any friend or family member and will be working with him again for future projects!"
