About

“I wandered into by Design several years ago with a look of bewilderment. Thankfully, Laura B. took me under her wing and we pieced together a beautiful living room. Last week, we added the gorgeous, and oh so comfortable Comfort Air chairs. My husband and I don’t want to leave them! Laura has now touched [...]

“Angela Lahr was really great to work with, both in terms of her professional opinions and her help to create a cohesive design of our newly remodeled living room. Angela was an excellent communicator and clearly listened to our wants and desires. By Design, has well-made furniture, throw rugs and numerous styles to choose from, [...]

“How lucky I am that Angela Lahr was the first person I met when I walked into By Design.  She is knowledgeable, a great listener, pays attention to details and is honest when she needs to find information that she doesn’t know.  Together we are embarking on a multi-phase, long term project to replace the [...]

“Our recent experience with Laura B at By Design has been very positive. Laura offered guidance after asking about our needs and our design choices. She was very helpful in making furniture pieces more accessible for us to review and to experience the fit and comfort we were searching for in available chairs for our [...]

“We recently moved to Waukee from South Dakota.  For the convenience of our move we decided to sell all of our living and dining furniture.  Before the move we contacted Laura at By Design.  Laura made the process of picking out furniture before we closed on our house and moved to Waukee a breeze.   Even [...]

“Bonita and her team are amazing to work with! The quality of the furniture is amazing. We bought 2 couches and are in love with them. They have such unique items. I found a beautiful leather chair that I just can’t get out of my head! I might have to go back and get it! [...]

“Thanks for the great experience.  Shopping made fun and easy.  My furniture order and window coverings turned out great. Thanks, Laura for your help deciding. :)”

“When it was time to shop for furniture for our sunroom addition to our home, I immediately remembered a beautiful sectional I had seen earlier in your store. Since construction had not yet begun, Laura was able to use our floor plans to design the sofa for our yet-to-be-built room. With her guidance, I was [...]

“We recently updated our living room. Our impetus came from a visit to By Design. We found a sofa we loved but were not sure whether or how it would work in our space. Laura came to our home to advise us. She was absolutely wonderful! The sofa worked and she was able to find [...]

“Updating my furniture has been very difficult and overwhelming for me. A dear friend referred me to Laura at ByDesign. Little did I know what a wonderful experience it would be! I met Laura at the store and tried to explain my thoughts. She came to my home, asked questions, took pictures and chatted. Several [...]

“By Design has been my furniture store for the past 20 years. I have purchased three living room and two sun room pieces. Laura has been incredible helping me redesign my living room. She listened to my ideas and knew I liked color and she made the entire process of so much fun. I can’t [...]

“Laura did a great job for us.  She was very easy to work with and we are delighted with the final product.  I needed help with my new house and she responded immediately and really tried to listen to what we wanted and design accordingly.  She also did her best to incorporate existing furniture where [...]

By Design has been a part of many of our room improvement projects, from couches and kitchen sets to art and knick-knacks, we have loved their store and their talented designers.

“My wife and I have been 30 plus year customers of By Design and have worked with their team on several projects.  In spite of living one and a half hours away, we have found working with the team at By Design, and specifically, Laura Beeler, to be extremely convenient.  We simply e-mail Laura the [...]

“We had never been to By Design but had heard good things and wanted to at least stop to check it out. Laura greeted us and worked with us. We placed an order in about 90 minutes. We spent a bit more money than planned, but we are thrilled with our furniture investment!”

“I was looking for window treatments for 6 windows in my new apartment.  I thought it would be an overwhelming task but Laura made it so easy.  I sat down with her for about 2 hours and we had fabric picked out for all the windows that worked beautifully.  I was so impressed with her [...]

“Jessica did a wonderful job helping me create a plan for my living room from scratch. I gave her very little to work with, but her opinions and suggestions are working out great as I slowly continue to put it all together.”

“A GIANT HEARTFELT  THANKS to you for refreshing our master bedroom. Like the over rooms in our home you have made our nest (as we love to call it) beautiful, up to date, and simply fabulous! After 30 years of working with you and By Design I’m always amazed at the talent and quality of [...]

“Dave and I love Bonita and by Design!  We were so happy to learn about By Design’s White Glove Delivery Service now available all over the United States.   We have purchased all of our furniture from by Design so when we got a home in Florida, we wanted Bonita to help us. We were able [...]

“I just wanted to note what great service we got from Laura Beeler. I am easily overwhelmed when it comes to staging a room but Laura simplified the process.  We were remodeling and turning our dining room into a sitting room/piano room.  Laura helped us layout our room with the pieces I loved at By [...]
