Eating At Kitchen By Mike

One of the things I love most about Sydney is the abundance of fantastic eating places. Cafes, restaurants, holes in walls to grab your coffee. I have my favourites, but I'd never eaten at Kitchen By Mike before, even though I'd heard it raved about for months.

Since I had last Monday off, I decided to head in seeing as though it should be quieter than the crazy weekend. Fortunately, I was right. The food is fresh, clean and delicious. I wanted my goats cheese and spinach quich to last forever. Not to mention the lemon meringue tart. Kitchen By Mike is set in an old factory, and much of the original architecture is on show. It's hipster vintage heaven. Kitchen By Mike is joined to the Koskela showroom which is an amazing space, made up of furnture, art and homewares. Food and shopping. I'm pretty much in heaven.

Freedom's New Style

Have you seen the new Freedom catalogue? I'm really loving the new style they have, very mid century modern.

These are a few of my favourites.

Photo A Day Challenge

Well...happy new year! In March! I have recently become more inspired to get back to enjoying and living out my creativity, and along with that comes blogging, so hopefully I can find some interesting things to share with you all.

I'm sure many of you will have seen around blogland and Instagram, the brilliant brain child of Chantelle at Fat Mum Slim, her Photo A Day Challenge. I watched this unfold all last year over on Instagram and her blog, and didn't get involved, so decided as of January 1 this year, I was in.

I tried a photo a day challenge last year but really lost interest around February. I think the difference with this is the prompts that Chantelle gives at the beginning of each month, as well as the awesome community that's been built around it. So far I've not missed a day, and I'm really hoping to make a photo book at the end of year to sum up in pictures my 2013.

Here's a sample of what I've done this far, I'd love you to follow along if you'd like. You can find me on Instagram under kyliewakeley
