David Met Nicole, Sydney

It is no secret that I get excited over industrial-chic decor, and so you can imagine my delight and shock when I came across a post about a gem of a vintage collectibles shop that is located right here in Sydney..

How on Earth I could have missed 'David Met Nicole' in Surrey Hills (a fabulous area of Sydney) is beyond me!

According to their site they sell both vintage (antique) and  self-made pieces. Their site shows some of their current stock and let me tell you, it does not disappoint at all!

Vintage hook boards, globes & maps, tram scrolls, signs, letters, furniture and heaps more beg me to visit them ASAP!

Here are some of pieces that grabbed my attention..

Industrial / artist's stool from France ca. 1880s

Chest of drawers in Australian red Cedar/Oregan wood - e1900s. I love those little numbers on the front of the drawers!

Lithograph printed school globe on twisted wrought iron base. e1900s

Handmade tea light and photographic glass slide holders - ca 1800-1930.

1940s school map. Just look at the way the world was portrayed then.. The land mass shapes are different now.

There is so much more to look at and I can't wait to go spend some undisturbed time there. Must happen soon!

P.S. Surrey Hills is one of those arty areas in Sydney that has retained a slight 'East London look'. Tree lined streets are filled with Victorian terraces, quirky shops, book stores, cafes, and  fab restaurants. An area to mark on your map when in Sydney.
