“Shoot a collective of artisans offering a unique variety of wares....? You had me at artisans. This fantastic lil shop is truly a treasure in Valpo. If you love to shop for the random then you found it! Whether it's for you, for a friend, a gift, or for you this is the place! I adore walking through here 1-2x a month since everything is frequently sold out and replaced our just rotated-especially seasonally! Everything from jewelry to vintage to board games to books to the nerd toys to the boutique clothes this place HAS IT ALL. I always tell my friends and family to come here and they NEVER leave empty handed. Truly a place where there is something for everyone and prices to match. Have fun! Happy shopping! Ages NB -100+”

“Bob the representative greeted my family and I at the door when we walked in. He was very nice and asked us if there was anything in particular we were looking for. He pointed us in the direction of what we needed and asked if we needed assistance. We said no and that when we did we would flag him down. He came to follow up just to make sure he didn’t miss us needing assistance. When we did find what we were looking for he took us through the next steps of purchase. Bob was overall very helpful, professional, down to earth and very pleasant to work with! He went above and beyond to answer all questions and gave us a heads up on what to expect after purchasing and walked us out. Outstanding service!!!”

“Very professional!! We’re not pushy and listened to what my wants were in selecting a layout for my family room. Furniture is always comfortable (have had many Lazy boy pieces) and I appreciate the newer sleeker designs!”
“I love Hobby Lobby. Always find the best bargain on whatever I am looking for. I am always amazed with amount all the cool stuff they stock their store with. Great job, Hobby Lobby!!!”
“This store is adorable! Absolutely loved it. There's such a variety of items from kitchenware, art work, toys, jewelry, soaps, and garden accessories, just to name a few. They have a fabulous card selection for any occasion. The new owner, Stacie, was very welcoming and it was nice to meet such a friendly staff. You can tell that they like to get to know their customers. I'd definitely recommend stopping at Lifestyles. You won't walk out empty handed. :)”

“Stopped here by chance while driving by. Bought 2 concrete goose statues, one large and one medium-sized. We were surprised at how affordable the prices were. The gentleman working in the store was very polite and helpful. They have a nice selection of concrete statues, bird bathes, and other miscellaneous outdoor things. We're glad we stopped.”
“This is an amazing little boutique full of bright and well made clothing! I love the feel as soon as you walk in the door! The shop owner, Dina, is so sweet and helps tailor the outfit choices to your personality. It is like a personal shopper! I highly recommend taking a few minutes to review her personal journal planners for the year too! They are amazing! I found out she created them herself!! I took a pic of my last haul!! [except the purple dress]”
“It's too amazing not to stop in for an interesting purchase to uplift your home.Be prepared to spend a couple of hours perusing! Makes for a great way to spend a day!”
“Omg the guys were so funny, nice and patient with me while I figure out my setup. They were very professional and did not leave a mess and was careful not to cause damage to my home or furniture”
“Khaled, was my salesperson and he was fantastic! Knowledgeable, courteous and very friendly! The store is beautiful, all in all I’m happy I stopped in and I’m very pleased with my purchase!”
“I got some gorgeous dainty little decor from here today and I am so happy with what I found. They have such stylish things here , and beautiful clothing. Everything here is a very fair price and they have a little bit of everything here.”
“I shopped around at multiple different furniture store and the room place was by far the best experience. Shivon helped me from the second I walked through the door. She was extremely patient moving different pieces with different sets to make sure I loved everything about the set. Would highly recommend purchasing from Shivon as I hate furniture shopping and she made the experience great!!!!”
“I love this place…what it does for the community with its low prices and free coats to those in need.
Which is why I drove the extra 20 minutes to make a donation when I have several other donations centers nearer to me. I was met with a less than helpful attitude and talked to rather rudely. I now know that I can’t expect help and they won’t, unless I specifically ask. Fair enough! (I was told that after I complied with moving my donations to the top of the stairs). The “Karen” in me wants to just go to one of those places where they unload my car and even say “thank you for your donation” with future donations. At the end of the day, I’m sure no one cares about this other than me. Lol”
