Urban Cottage

"This chic shop on Front Street in Hamilton is an assemblage of urbane-rustic goods curated by owner and style setter Nicole Golden. The housewares-heavy collection includes vintage, repurposed, and locally made items; popular offerings include bespoke throw pillows that are emblazoned with island images and nautical maps. Lighting and furniture made from reclaimed materials are another mainstay. The hip retailer is also a showcase for regional artisans like Rebecca Little who, inspired by textiles, creates delicate jewelry pieces from metal. Follow the boutique on social media for pop-up announcements."

"If your neighborhood antiques shop also sold fashion-forward ladies’ apparel and locally made gifts, you’d begin to envision what this Front Street boutique wholly embodies. Urban Cottage has a little bit of everything, so try not to be confused if you walk in for a dress and walk out with a collection of vintage bottles that washed ashore. Funky and idiosyncratic, the whimsically curated shop is where you should go if you’re longing for something special—or nothing at all." - David LaHuta
