Not only is the store a real gem, but Steve also organized and managed a very large and eclectic estate sale on our behalf.

I can't recommend Steve and "A Okay Antiques" enough, both are sure to brighten your day!

Curley's is a family owned store that I've been buying furniture from for several years. I do most…read moreof my shopping online, and before I make any purchases, I always call Curley's to see if they have the style that I'm looking for. I've gone as far as to send their owners pictures of what I've wanted and they've spent the time to find it for me in their catalogue. They've helped me achieve the look I want for my house, and they've saved me thousands of dollars in the process. They've clearly been around for as long as they have because they are willing to deliver for customers in a way the big guys can't or don't care to. I highly recommend that anyone close to Des Moines (I'm two hours away) check these guys out before buying anywhere else in the area.

I have enjoyed going to The Attic in the past. However, the consignment reimbursement process is…read morequestionable. We dropped off a number of items last year for consignment. I was under the impression that anything sold would be reflected as a store credit to be used at our discretion. I stopped in a couple of weeks ago to buy some dishes and asked to use my credit. I was informed that there was no credit and that a check had been issued, that is now expired. I had a check...when?? That was not at all clear and I was not notified. I sent a message and received a call from the store about the issue, and nothing will be done. Not even a hint at a possible solution besides too bad, but the check is expired, nothing more. I asked if people are notified about consignment checks and they are NOT. The checks are put in a drawer and removed upon expiration if they weren't picked up. Even if I misunderstood, shouldn't customers be notified of money they are owed for personal items sold? I'm surprised that no message is ever sent. So, I gave my items to the store for free. My patronage must be very low priority. Questionable business practice and extremely frustrating.

We selected Jerry after having looked at many different homes in Des Moines, IA. The homes were…read moreall very similar and not very creative. Then my wife found a home that wasn't for sale but loved the design and asked the owner who built it. That is how we found Jerry. We then selected a lot and started the design process. In the design process we told Jerry and the designer what features were important to us as well as what style of houses we like (contemporary/modern). They came up with drawings which we were able to say we liked or disliked. They then tweaked the drawings more and more until we had a set of plans for the home. There definitely was not a house that looked very similar to ours in Des Moines, which might be difficult for some people. You can't just drive across town and see what your house will look like with different paint and countertops. The homes Jerry designs and builds are unique. It can take a lot of imagination and consideration to picture how your home will look, but it is well worth it. The building process went well. There were different concerns on how to use different spaces, etc. as we moved forward and I appreciated Jerry's insight on how to improve upon the plans that had been drawn. We had a large area on our second floor which was not accessible and would likely hold art or something else. Jerry thought it might be nice to put a catwalk over to the area and make it a sitting area or area for the kids. It was a great idea and significantly improved the home. We moved our game room from the area previously designed to an area with 10 ft ceilings to better take advantage of the space. There are many other examples as well. The build wasn't without problems. We moved in 4 weeks later than we were supposed to. We came in over budget; however, Jerry's fee did not change...we only paid extra for the changes WE made. That was appreciated as other builders will hit you with change order fees, etc. As for moving in late......we did when we built our previous home and I don't think I have heard from anyone building a house that moved in exactly when they were supposed to. Regardless, the high quality finished product more than made up for the delay. In short, I would not hesitate to recommend Jerry Bussanmas as a home builder. He builds a high quality home as well as a unique home in our otherwise cookie cutter neighborhoods. I wish there were more of his homes in our area.

Jerry, Nick, Nichole, and Kelsey are a great team. We had many questions throughout the process of…read morebuilding our first home, and the Bussanmas family was extremely knowledgable and informative. They offered great suggestions and guidance during each phase of the build. Being pregnant (emotional, neurotic, and irrational) proved to be a challenge for my husband and for me, but Nichole was always helpful in alleviating my stress, especially when it came to the detailed finish work and helping us make decisions that stayed true to the style we envisioned for our home. Each day after work my husband and I would stop by to check on the progress of our home, and we were always very impressed with Jerry's crew . The construction manager, Cade, was very friendly and easy to work with, and he took the time to answer our endless questions. We were also especially pleased with the trim carpenters, their attention to detail, and the overall design and quality of their work. My husband and I feel very lucky that our home was built by Jerry Bussanmas. I cant say enough about the quality and craftsmanship of his work. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend Jerry.

Thankfully, there are collectors of these lamps, and Dennis knows them. I was a bit (ok a lot!) ambivalent about sending the lamp to someone I've never met, and is based out of state. Quick Google search on him - he is THE man when it comes to Tiffany lamps, is a chief contributor in "Antiquing for Dummies". Dennis is the consummate professional, walked us through packaging and mailing the lamp. Many many thanks, Dennis, for brokering our lamp!
