Nick Kuchar Art & Vintage — Attraction in Honolulu

It's a good day if you awake and see the sun rise, a good friend would always say. Because his health was not so and he knew time was dwindling. It's a message he would share with anyone and everyone because we should all be grateful for each moment we have on this planet earth. I spent a day in Kailua and discovered a wonderful little store front named the Nick Kuchar Art & Design Company. As I walked by a vintage TV set in the window caught my attention. The old TV had such a sharp image. To my surprise someone cleaver had installed an Apple iPad inside the box as a replacement screen.Fantastic!

Even if you aren't in the market for artwork right now, do yourself a solid and take a little wistful stroll through the gallery. It will lift your...

It's a really great, extensive shop. Has all most of the items on the website and maybe a couple special ones I didn't notice. It's great to be able to see the high quality of the items in person and ask questions. I ended up getting the coffee mug aince you could really tell how nice it was in person versus just looking at a polished photo of it online. Customer service was great. I really wish they would sell their postcards individually because I really don't want to have to pay $28 just to get one postcard that I'm interested in. I asked about Kama'aina discount and there is none. Other than that, it's a good store and great for souvenirs for your mainland...
