Testimonials
“This was our first time using a designer, and we are so happy that we chose Iron Roots Design. Celeste helped us design a new flooring and paint scheme for our upstairs and redesigned our kitchen, all while we were living in another country. She got to know us as people and chose materials and colors that not only matched our style, but also our lifestyle. We ended up with a beautiful, functional new kitchen, paint and flooring, and the whole process was so easy. We would work with Celeste and Iron Roots again in a heartbeat.”

“I love my new great room! I really enjoyed working with Celeste and team who were really patient when I had trouble settling on the colors I wanted. Great communication and responsive to my needs. I’m thrilled with the furniture choices and the extra touches that pull it all together. The custom slab dining table with metal work by Tim is gorgeous. Every time I walk in the room I think ‘wow, I love this room’!”

“Tim and Celeste have been great to work with as we moved into our new home. Celeste helped us pick new paint colors which truly brightened the house and work as a great backdrop for our artwork. We’re also really happy with the furniture she helped us select. Tim fabricated a fire pit for us exactly to our specifications, which we have been enjoying over the last few weeks. We have received so many compliments on it. Highly recommend both of them!”
