The contrast of the painted iron with the stainless steel top makes this a perfect accent piece for almost any decor. With wheels, a drawer, a shelf, a little towel bar and some kind of clip thing, it would work great in the kitchen, bedroom or bathroom. $145

This coffee table features a rectangular outline in 3/4 inch square bar, with an outhouse door (vintage, hopefully) for the top. We’ve been making tables like this for a few years now. Similar but not-quite-as-nice-ones at ABC Home and Carpet were selling in the $1200-1800 range a while back. This one is $475.

Printed with archival inks, blank inside, thumbnail of seahorse with spring base on back. $10 for three cards with envelopes

Many interesting objects have passed in and out of the Iron Fish over the past few years. Luckily I took a picture of this one for my Notecard series. Maybe I should change the name of the shop…

Nothing revolutionary here, but one of my favorites. The wood protruding off the base just slightly helps give it a nice, solid, clean look. Works well as both a table and a bench. $425
