Vintage finish defines coastal decor from the past-Lucy Welch-Allen Nautical Design Opinion

Collectors of vintage/weathered coastal iron works can enjoy all Iron Fish, mermaid, and crab sculptures as they are finished with these relics of the past in mind.  What mother nature creates out of painted metal after time and elements play their part is what The Iron Fish strives to achieve when finishing all hand crafted coastal sculptures.   Let it bleed!  Most people don’t give rust enough credit for adding character to metal art objects that have been long exposed to the elements.  Appreciation for that beautiful rust is easily found in anything Chase Allen creates.  Like wine and coastal living, these coastal gifts/nautical gifts improve with age.

Interior Designer Lucy Welch-Allen Provides More Priceless Hints for Coastal Decorating

Whether I’m eating them…or hanging them on a wall, I positively adore fish in any form. Fortunately, Chase (and his site’s past and present ‘aquatic’ design selections ) offer an immense variety of decorating opportunities for the home, office, business or as a hand-crafted gift for someone extra important to you. (The fact that these vintage finished sculptures are hand-crafted by a Daufuskie Island artisan make it all the more special.) The fact that I can offer design tips as to how these sculptures can be integrated into your own interior decorating choices is icing on the cake! Though many of my tips are, for the most part, straight forward….I do enjoy taking a more ’tongue in cheek’ or ‘outside the box’  approach as often as I possibly can! It’s certainly more fun and adventurous, so let your hair down for a bit and give it try. You might discover a whole other side to yourself.
******************************

1.  Make a big and bold first impression on your guests by ‘stacking’ a grouping of iron fish sculptures on the wall directly across from your entry door. The individual colors of each of the fish are doubly enhanced by the vintage-finish. Thus..your statement piece…coastal decorating!!! (more…)
