by Design has just what you need.

Now located in Old Towne Square at 300 N. Mead, Andy’s Woods by Design is easily accessible, features door-side parking and, best of all, with the additional retail space, ownersCarol and Andy Anderson are expanding the unique and interesting products available at the store. These include Kansas and Oz collectibles, and nostalgic candies sure to bring back childhood memories. From Camille Beckman lotions and soaps, designed to “pamper the one closest to you,” to other high quality bath and body products, there are plenty of ways to nourish dry skin back to silky softness —despite the Kansas weather.

Be sure to view the variety of handcrafted quality wood products while you’re shopping.The store’s expanded showroom now has room for more of Andy’s ready-made furniture, including his popular wine racks and display cases made of oak or other hardwoods. Andy also custom builds
furniture to match his customers’ ideas and specifications. Larry Jones, music director of Immanuel Baptist Church, took an admittedly “awful” sketch of a golf ball display case to Andy and was impressed with the results.

“Andy was able to understand what I wanted and produced a beautiful piece,” says Larry, who was pleased with the quality of lumber Andy used.
Since that time, Andy has built another golf ball case, CD cabinets and an electronics cabinet to fit a specific space in Larry’s office. “They are wonderful people to work with. They are patient, and do timely and affordable work,” he says. For more information or to shop to your heart’s content, stop by Andy’s Woods by Design in Old Town Square or call 262.7664.
