koskela - shopshoot

30 May 2012

My blogging is pretty much done at night after I get home from work. I'm at home today 'entertaining' a plasterer so it feels really weird to be writing this with the sun shining. I do need to get some chores done and the gym has yet to see me this week, so I won't be housebound all day. 

I thought it was time to share some of the photos I took of Koskela a few weeks ago. Some of them have already been seen on decor8 (thanks Holly) but I had so many more to show you. Koskela can be found in the suburb of Rosebery and it's a great shop which features Australian design. The building is on the site of the old Rosella canning factory and many of the industrial bare bones have been left in place, a feature I love.



Kitchen by Mike also shares the space.




As the space is so large, the furniture can be arranged in room like themes.



There are unexpected splashes of colour



like the on-trend neon.



As well as furniture, the area is the perfect place to display rugs, lighting and artwork.



I wish I had room in my place for this iconic Aussie windmill.



I love the old industrial windows and the great light in the building - a photographer's dream.



The store features some beautifully designed home and kitchenwares.




Koskela is part furniture showroom and part gallery space.




It's not all for adults though.



I loved the children's area.



Part toy display, part art installation.


Koskela and Kitchen by Mike can be found at 1/85 Dunning Avenue Rosebery, Sydney. Many thanks to Sasha and Renee for allowing me to take photos of their beautiful space.



See you all again next week,

shopshoot - kitchen by mike

9 May 2012

Have you been to Kitchen by Mike yet? Well I have but not to eat. Instead I went there to take photos.



A few months ago I heard chef Mike McEnearney take the chef's challenge on Simon Marnie's programme on 702 ABC. He spoke about his new venture, Kitchen by Mike and the set up sounded quite a bit like Ottolenghi. As you know, I love all things Ottolenghi so I wanted to see it for myself.



The canteen is part of the Koskela complex in Rosebery, hence the cool, clean design aesthetic.




There's an outdoor dining area and a garden that's still a work in progress. I loved the old gate. Farmer Andrew has the same gates at his place in the country.




The menu changes daily depending on what's fresh and best at the market that day so you'll need to check the Kitchen by Mike Facebook page for the day's menu. 



You can take a little bit of Kitchen by Mike home with you.



A little rustic corner.



Onsite parking takes on a new meaning!



I've been to Kitchen by Mike twice now. The first time was during a busy Sunday breakfast service.



Last week I visited after the end of service. There was a different kind of energy.



Kitchen by Mike is at 85 Dunning Avenue Rosebery in Sydney and is open daily for breakfast, lunch, coffee and cake.

2016 edit - Kitchen by Mike has now closed. Mike is opening a new venue but as yet the location hasn't been announced.

See you all again next week,
