It’s a bit “ironic” that nary a day goes by without someone stepping into Iron Accents 6,000 square foot showroom to inquire about an Elvis Presley style entry gate or sturdy fencing.

Kitchens have always been the heart of a home.

Over the years their product line that started with Tuscan inspired canisters and spice jars has grown beyond the kitchen and evolved to encompass dinnerware, serving ware and home décor. And while their design sessions continue to be collaborations between friends, the hand crafted dinnerware and serving ware collection they envisioned has grown and given birth to inspired home décor accessories.
