“I’ve had the pleasure to work with both Julie Ross and Paula Reicks at K. Renee. They have helped me find pieces to complement our bedroom; redesign our entryway; find a new cocktail table, side table, and accent pieces for our family room; and more recently a whole new makeover of our living room. One thing I appreciated most about both designers was their willingness to find new pieces that complemented already-existing pieces within our home. They have helped me create a home that is warm and inviting. Whether you are building a new home, looking for a whole new look, or just want a few new pieces for your home, I highly recommend that you stop in at K. Renee’s and talk to one of the designers. It was the best decision I ever made!”

“As a man moving to the Des Moine area, I was in need of high-quality furniture and accessories for my new home. That included artwork and window treatments. I visited many furniture stores but got hooked on Ethan Allen for their service, hospitality and made to order products. It took about three visits to finalize my order but when it arrived, with my designer meeting me at my new home, I was completely thrilled with the final outcome. Since the quality is high, I don't know when I will be back since I expect it to last a long-time; however, I recommend Ethen Allen to anyone who wants to make an impression on his or her guests.”
