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!

The mantra "Make Money and Sell Cheap" still allows these box companies to sell quality products within the price range of most consumers. I picked up a really good deal on an item at Homemakers on Douglas, and in addition had NFM deliver several high quality items at a good Memorial Day Sale price. Homemakers' is a place you can get some quality pieces at a reasonable price.

Projects is a really cool contemporary furniture store in the east village of Des Moines downtown!…read moreWe just purchased a mid century home and are trying to fill it will furniture of the time or that looks of the time! So we stopped in at Projects to get some ideas! The store is beautiful and has lots of cool couches, chairs, tables, lights, beds, art, bathroom things, nick nackts etc. One thing you will realize very quickly this is not cheap stuff, some of these couches range from 5,000-20,000 dollars. Wowzers, don't spill coffee on that! But there is no where else in town where you can shop for these high end contemporary type things and actually see them in real life! So I do really dig going in here, even though there is nothing I can afford to buy! The staff always says hello when you walk in and then just lets you run around looking, they don't bother you at all they just sit on their computers.. Every time I have been in here that happens! Some might be put off by this, but I understand and I liked being able to look around without someone asking my life story or trying to sell me something. All in all cool store, and as Ferris Bueler would say, "If you got the means, I highly recommend picking one up." but he is not talking about a car here, more like a couch!
