Fern Fables - Introduced May 2026
Fern Fables would pair great with Annie Sloans Svenska or even just something simple like Graphite or Old White to really let the colors pop!!
IOD Transfers are a brand new way to put your own unique style into your home decor. Transfers are intricately designed with a protective backing, once peeled, the designs simply rubs on with the included transfer stick.
IOD Transfers™ are designed in scale and motif to be appropriate for decor. Use them to add a unique touch to your furniture projects, wall art or accessories. Pressure sensitive, you apply them by rubbing them onto the surface. Ensure a long lasting result by sealing with a quality sealer.
Transfers can be mixed and matched in all kinds of combinations so your designs are truly one of a kind.
Material: Transfer is made of plastic and is cuttable to enable you to create your own original piece! Transfers are intended for one use only.
Our Decor Transfers™ are designed in scale and motif to be appropriate for decor. Use them to add a unique touch to your furniture projects, wall art or accessories. Pressure sensitive, you apply them by rubbing them onto the surface. Ensure a long lasting result by sealing with a quality sealer. Iron Orchid Design recommends using wax on top of transfers to seal them when on furniture.
We’ve made many of our new Decor Transfers™ “buildable”, by adding opacity, (so that they look good when they overlap) and making the designs themselves more versatile, so that they work visually, when used in combination. Since the designs are more opaque than previous versions, they will show up well against dark colors as well as light.
• Distressable ( for complete customization, sand to your liking! We don’t mind.)
• Buildable ( more opaque so they can be layered with other transfers, as well as show up against darker colors. Because sometimes one is just not enough, and a maker needs to make it their own.)
• Improved backing to help prevent transfer mishaps ( and the subsequent crushed souls.)
• Easy to use ( These beauties transfer onto your project surface like butter.)
Lexi Grenzer isthe artist that designed this transfer. She's also the artist behind our beloved Whispering Willows Transfer, and now the heart and soul behind Fern Fables from our Summer 2026 Collection. We think it might be some of her most beautiful work yet.
But before you dive into your projects, we wanted to share a little more about the person behind the design.
At IOD, one of our favorite things is having designs rooted in artwork that feel timeless. Like a good pair of blue jeans, they never go out of style. We bring that to life through historical artists and their classical motifs, vintage botanical illustrations, and European ornamentation–– and through modern-day artists like Lexi, who carry that same vintage flair in everything they create.
Because Lexi's story isn't just about beautiful folk art and a stunning color palette (though yes, absolutely, both of those things 😍). It's about something a lot of us know a little too well.
She spent years telling herself she wasn't a real artist. Even after the magazine features. Even after the licensing deals. Even after strangers started buying her work online, the finish line just kept moving.
Sound familiar? 😅
"At some point, I just embraced it and realized I was born to create," she told us. "Just do what you love, the rest will follow."
We could cry. We're fine. We're totally fine. 😂
We had the absolute pleasure to ask Lexi some questions, and we asked her everything! About growing up surrounded by artists in Santa Fe, teaching herself to paint by just opening the paints and playing. What her studio actually looks like mid-project (spoiler: relatable), and the advice she gives every student who walks into her class convinced they're "not really an artist."
Her answers are so good, friend. So good. Click HERE to see the whole interview.
