Homemakers Furniture in Urbandale Iowa has won Des Moines CityView award for The Best Local Furniture Store every year since 1992!

Celebrate yourself this Valentines Day by dedicating time to show your body mind or spirit some love. The post-holiday winter can feel never-ending if you don’t take proper care of yourself and dedicate time for hobbies and rest. Find something new to try, rather it’s a hobby that has always sparked your interest or something that has enticed but intimidated you.

Hilary Prall is the owner and founder of H. Prall & Co., an interior design group based in the Des Moines area. We invited her to shop Homemakers and write about her experiencing creating a patio space on a budget.
