Sweet Livin' Antiques, Art & Records

Off the beaten path, but they have an outstanding selection and it's organized well. Very easy to lose time sifting through original pressings and somehow find yourself picking up twice as much (or more) than you intended. Paul will gladly play any vinyl for you if you have questions regarding quality.

If you love records this is the place to go. Also, if you are looking for vintage stereo equipment he has lots to choose from. Not only is Paul the owner a sweet and terrific person, he is very knowledgeable and willing to help his customers find what they want, and leave totally satisfied with their purchase.

Sweet livin is the definition of a hidden gem. This place is filled to the brim with copious amounts of records, cds, cassettes, and assorted pins and trinkets. The owner is very charismatic, and the cash only business model is refreshing in a sea of cashless, pretentious businesses.

One of the best antique shops I've been to, and I've been all over the state of Iowa. Great experience every time. Paul is just the nicest guy and has been very helpful each time I've gone in. Great selection of vinyl, beautiful African art, old pictures and postcards, antique furniture, stained glass windows...
