Windmill Mall has a lot of spaces with lots of antiques and collectibles to peruse. The space is a…read morebit cramped with a single path through the space (on both floors) and on a busy day would be hard to maneuver. However, Windmill Mall has the same problem that far too many other consignment/antique outfits have, an overblown sense of worth. Now, this isn't probably Windmill Mall's fault but that of the people renting space, but nonetheless... We went through and looked through lots of items and of course there is the usual mix of cool and crap but ALL of it is marked at such high prices that there was just no chance we'd be buying anything. To say everything is twice as much as we would be willing to pay is probably being generous. You'd have to REALLY want something to spend the prices being asked with far too few real gems to be found that might be worth the reach in prices.

Love dropping in and looking around, always find something I can't live without! Great little shop.read more

If you have dust allergies or OCD as far as organization this will not be your spot. Not exactly…read morean upscale thrift store, but I always seem to walk out with something. I believe the owners buy estates and clear out the household items and furniture. The prices are fair and you can haggle with them. It's not uncommon to walk in and have the staff tell you everything is 50% off due to needing to make room for incoming merchandise. Everything spanning tools, kitchenware, small appliances, knick knacks, collectibles, antiques, to furniture (end tables, chairs, etc)... If you don't mind the dust and digging a little this will probably become a regular stop for you because of the constantly changing inventory.

West End Architectural Salvage was one of the most unique stops we made in Des Moines. Even if…read moreyou're not shopping for home décor, it's worth walking through just to see everything inside! The building is filled with architectural salvage, vintage furniture, antiques, reclaimed materials, artwork, and one-of-a-kind finds you won't see anywhere else. Grab a coffee or a drink at their bar before you walk around! Every room has something different, so it's easy to spend more time browsing than you planned. Whether you're decorating your home, hunting for vintage treasures, or just looking for something unique to do indoors, I'd definitely recommend adding West End Architectural Salvage to your Des Moines itinerary!

Floors and floors or quality antiques and interesting finds. Everything was thoughtfully placed and well kept - I didn't even see any dust on them. Employees were super sweet and they will ship the items for you! Coffee is good too, and there's ample space to sit and relax.

I'm going to kind of double up on this review. Harvest Creek and Pine Creek Ltd pretty much sit…read moreright on top of one another. They are "creeks" separated by a wall but they both have a very similar feel. So similar in fact that I asked my girlfriend... "Do you think these shops might have the same owner?" The atmosphere is low lit and cozy and the collection of merchandise is eclectic. Definitely not something that you run into every day... I'm not sure how to describe the merchandise. Pine Creek offers some seasonal and smaller home furnishing. More leaning to home good. And some items on Harvest Creek you don't necessarily think of when you think Iowa. Some border what you think of when you think wiccan or occult (not in a bad way though)... If I had to guess the owners have their own personal tastes and interests and they stock the shops to align with what they like and hope the market finds them. We really enjoyed looking through both of these little shops and they are ones I would encourage anyone coming through the Winterset area to stop and check out both Harvest Creek and Pine Creek Ltd!

I have always been amazed at the pieces - especially the vintage clothing. Since my last visit, they have opened Antiques and More Consignments at the opposite end of the block in the Love building.

Both times I was here I noticed buckets catching water through the roof. So the building is a little in shambles, but the stuff in it.... rules! I drive buy this building every day bringing my kid to school, so I noticed this sweet mid century modern lamp in the window that would match my "Fake" mid century modern couches.. So I had to go and check it out.. Mind you when I saw the price tag, 600 bucks.. and the sweet owner told me it was from the early 60's and made in Italy I understood that this lamp does not belong next to my two fake mid century modern couches that were purchased for under the price of that lamp! But hey I kept shopping and found tons of other treasures that I would love to have but also couldn't afford.. But you got to look everywhere here! I did end up finding a really cool Minnesota Twins button from the 1960's that I will give to my dad for Christmas.. and hey it was only 5 bucks! I wish I could buy that 600 dollar lamp, and the very sweet owner could fix his roof.. The store is also only open on weekends or by appointment.. So go check it out.. There is bound to be a treasure in there for you! Or if you want to buy me a 600 dollar Christmas Present I will take that orange lamp in the window..

I am a frequent customer because every time I come in there is something new I haven't seen before. I'm always amazed no one else has bought it yet when I set my eyes on something that catches my attention. The prices are incredibly modest. Just as fun as finding cool artifacts and treasures is chatting away with the two owners. They are really knowledgeable and fun people with exceptional taste. Their eye for antiques is refreshingly artistic. I HIGHLY recommend this neighborhood gem. MUST SEE!
