LOCAL // THE RUBY

May 21, 2015/ Laura Liira

So there used to be this hole in the wall restaurant that was located beside this hole in the wall motel. I went there once for a breakfast club I used to belong to. They had a pretty decent eggs benny but the place was a bit skeeetttcccchhhy. Fast forward to now and the hotel and restaurant have been completely redone. A few weeks ago some friends and I got together at it to celebrate Thea's birthday!

The restaurant is now called The Ruby. The inside is super cute. Nice and light with big windows. Their vibes are pretty rad too.

How cute are my friends!!

I ordered the breakfast tacos and to be honest, the food wasn't anything to write home about. Yummy but not incredible and I hate to be a complainer but we had pretty horrible service....but I'll probably go back one more time just to see if it was an off day!

How cute is that vw van? It's actually what the hotel uses to shuttle their guests around!

The stunning birthday girl.

And how good is that colour block wall on the backside of the restaurant?!!

So my verdict on The Ruby is undecided. It's cute and seems to have a good menu but lacked in taste and service...but who knows what next time will have in store!

If you're local, have you been to The Ruby? And if so, what do you think!!??

Happy Thursday!

Oh heya. I'm still alive incase you're wondering. It's been a bit cray cray round here the past week....MY MAN CAME HOME! and then two days later MY BFF GOT MARRIED!! So I have been one busy bee...and I'm also in the midst of writing papers for a course I totally have neglected (why oh why do I always do this!!??)

But I'm back...can't commit to 5 posts a week but let's say 3 (I'll try, I really will). I have soooo many things to show you ...including all the #clungtothejung magic (!!!!) but for now you can stalk my instagram // snapchat (@lauraliira) // twitter // facebook // pinterest

OUR HOME // OFFICE/STUDIO (BEFORE)

May 08, 2015/ Laura Liira

Happy Friday everyone! Today I have yet another room for you..the office/stuido !! So far you've seen the suite (before & after!), kitchen, living room, master bedroom, dining room & bathroom. Now it's time to actually start working on the rooms, ha. Our office/studio is the least organized...it's the room I throw all the things that I don't know what to do with, ha. BUT our desks are set up and there will be more improvements soon! But after all the other rooms....

Here's what our studio space looked like when we moved in...sans all the junk...and that scary baby carriage....

Ah, I can't believe how dark the floors were! So thankful that James decided to refinish them before we moved in. We picked this room for the office because it gets great afternoon light. We set up James' desk under the window and mine against the wall on the left but that's all we've done. So much to do but I think this may be one of the last rooms to get done...for now I'll just keep peeping pinterest.

Here's what I'm digging....

1 // 2 // 3 // 4

How good are those spaces? Now I could get some work done in there!!!

Hope you have a fabulous weekend! We're having a shower for Rachel, can't believe the wedding is NEXT WEEK!!!
