She respected and embraced our vision!
We had a phenomenal experience working with Christine. She was able to take us from feeling overwhelmed by our new space to feeling excited about its potential. While she respected and embraced our vision and style, she has a knack for adding in elements that pushed us out of our comfort zone in the best way that we never would have come up with on our own! Christine went above and beyond to provide us with options and was there every step of the way to answer our questions. We could not have asked for a better experience!

My house is exactly what I had envisioned.
I had a great builder, a plan, and a vision but was totally overwhelmed by the constant but necessary detailed decisions. I knew what I wanted but did not know how to get there. Christine walked in and my life changed! All of a sudden this project became fun and the stress seemed to evaporate! She just seemed to know what I wanted and helped me quickly narrow the options and make choices. The best part was that I always loved the choices as each room came together. Christine is just amazing and I know my home came together perfectly because of her. I sincerely mean it when I say I could not have done this without her.

We highly recommend The Iron Gate Co.
After a couple of years in our new house, we felt that the finishing touches deserved the eyes and talent of an interior designer that could help us through the process. I came across Iron Gate Interiors through recommendations and I found that Christine’s work truly spoke to us. So we embarked on the journey to transform our sunroom, living room, foyer, and front sitting room into a true home. I was impressed by Christine’s ability to discover who we are, our style, and needs for each room. She worked the pieces that we already had into the design of each room making them beautiful but also comfortable and functional. Christine has truly transformed our house into a beautiful home that we love.
