When you stroll down Muscatine's historic downtown you can't help but notice the beautifully restored buildings filled with delicious cafes, restaurants, and family-owned boutiques and shops. Before you know it hours have passed and you've still only seen the tip of the iceberg of what Muscatine has to offer.  Agents in our Muscatine office shared their favorite stores that they know, love, and frequent.

Home Decor

Walking into Flipped Out Furniture, you may instantly think "Okay, just take my money!" and that's thanks in large part to the ever-changing decor and furniture items that can be found inside. Flipped Out 'takes old pieces of furniture that need some love and gives them a new look.' If you love the idea of DIY but not the idea of actually doing it yourself, Flipped Out Furniture is for you.

Feather Your Next Interiors also includes interior design services so you can design your space with your new aesthetic as well.

Boutiques

Petal & Leaf is a newer established business in Muscatine, but it already has a great reputation among those in the community.
