I swear paint makes a space have completely differ

I swear paint makes a space have completely different feelings and creates personality in one step.

Swipe —> to see where it started. (This wall had patio doors to another room 🤷🏻‍♀️)

We are so happy we jumped one the brown wall trend and grabbed this taupe beauty of a color for the walls. Now for a little cream floor paint, a beautiful rug and the finishing pieces to make this space feel more like us.

A mini reveal of Poppy’s room.

Trim, some paint and a bedside table is left but to say this was. A very large primary suite with sliding patio doors into our red bedroom just a few months ago, and now is a beautiful little girls room and a hallway is kind of shocking. When you’re in the space, you think it has always been like this and that is always our goal when we renovate. This wallpaper by @anewalldecor steals the show for sure.

Poppy’s room is so close to the finish line. Tomorrow I’m going to do a deep, clean and hang all of the artwork, and then the search starts for the perfect side table. We are thinking pink. What do you think?

When the first day of Spring lands on the first day back from March break and you can finally clean the Living room and it stay that way for more than an hour.

HAPPY SPRING EVERYONE!

Let’s just add hardwood floor layers to our rés

Let’s just add hardwood floor layers to our résumé…

Sometimes in DIY, fears take over, and even though you do months of research on how to do some thing properly, you just can’t get the ambition to start it thinking that you could possibly fail.

we never thought we’d be able to pull this off. My whole life laying hardwood seemed expensive and intimidating. When we made the decision to go with white oak to match the flooring that has been in the home for the last 25 years, we were able to find flooring for a great price, but the installation cost the same amount as the wood. We needed to make sure we could do it on our own. This weekend we took it on and I can’t believe it looks as good as it does. And on the plus side, we have enough left over to do the powder room off the kitchen. Now comes the hard part of trying to make the old and new match as close as possible.

Here’s to the next step in creating our dream kitchen.

Slowly, creating a calming space fit for a 10 year

Up Next is finding the perfect map to hang above his bed and add a few more bits and pieces for texture. But I will say he has picked out everything from this point and he has done an excellent job.

Embracing the pretty in the half way point today.

after wallpapering numerous rooms in the last house, some even 2 to 3 times in the four years we lived there, I went into this home, not wanting to even look at wallpaper. But, Poppy wanted to feel like she was sleeping in the sky, and as the only girl in the family and the one who had to go the longest without a proper room in this new home, we wanted to give her exactly what she wanted.

When your home comes with Vintage train wallpaper

When your home comes with Vintage train wallpaper and you just don’t have the gut to rip it down, so you work it into the design plans.

Plus, now with new @blindstogo shades in Dow Cloud, the vision is making me love them.

What would you do? Keep or tear down for your son?

In January I realized that I really needed to cut

In January I realized that I really needed to cut back on the amount of coffee I drank in a day. I’m guessing a lot of you guys have also experienced this. With @Organikahealth Complete line of collagen powder, I was able to start using their Vitality Enhanced Collage powder with organic matcha green tea powder. Not only do I get my collagen for the day, but I also get the amazing benefits and energy from the Matcha green tea. It has completely switched up my afternoon fix and I’m not mad about it at all. For 30% off your order of what collagen fits your routine, use code “30THEWILDDECOELIS”. Link is in my bio.

We ate dinner with the sun still up in the sky enough for it to count. That means spring is fast approaching and I’m ready for it!

We don’t have an epic laundry/mudroom in the new house but WILL have a pantry. What would you rather?

Our Early morning mission complete!

there’s some thing always weird about moving homes and flopping the same furniture you had in the last house into a new living room. It’s almost like you’re trying to carbon copy. Sometimes it just doesn’t work or feels off. After moving to Star Acre, rob and I knew that we needed to find a nice comfy chair to curl up in for the living room. We had our eye on a loveseat, but with a rectangular room, it just wouldn’t fit. Enter in the 1.5 seat. called BACKSÄLEN by @ikeacanada. She not only fit into our budget, but gave us the vibes of a luxury chair we’ve eyed for years. After sitting in one on the IKEA show room a few months ago, we knew we needed it. But like all IKEA furniture, you’ve gotta watch like a hawk for stock to actually show up. What do you think? Worth the wait?!?

Also comfort level is 8/10 and comfortably fits myself curled up on one side, and our big kids on the other.

Our Bedroom isn’t Peach!!

Both that I have anything against peach. But, rob and I love to go white with everything in a new home to allow for creativity to flow. Plus, that peach felt really dark in here. We have so much more to do in here, we are painting the floors 🫣 don’t hate! New shades are on their way, and a few more finishing details link painting the trim a contrasting color.

Our new @loloirugs Sorrento collection rug in the Midnight/natural is the showstopper now that the room is white. It’s so soft on the feet first thing in the morning and the color makes our space feel cozy even with the high ceilings. What do you think?

It’s snowed, the kids are outside playing in it, and I’m sitting by the fire for a moment of quiet.

Documenting the only pretty corners we have in this home currently.

I have always dreamed of a big bay window. The kind at Christmas time the tree stands proud in, and in the spring, and summer is full of light to sit and look out. Just taking advantage of finally having one while my new kitchen is completely ripped apart for electrical.

Before and afters at the end! We started the ups

Before and afters at the end!

We started the upstairs even before we closed on this house, ripping up the carpet just a day after getting the keys, planning out every possible new hall configuration and crunching the numbers for what we realistically could do for flooring up here. But with Christmas, once we did Aubrey’s floor in his room, we had to put everything on hold. Having visitors from out of province made us get into crunch mode. I’m so proud of myself for tackling 80% of this upstairs by myself with Rob helping in the hard parts and using some of the bigger tools for cuts. I also in the process learned how to wire lights and outlets. Guys, I am almost 36 years old and I can’t believe the things I just took on and accomplished. This is your sign that you can do it too. You have no idea how many times I’ve had a DM saying how lucky I am that I have a handy husband to renovate our house. I am very fortunate. He is unreal, and so talented, but let this show you that you can pick up the tools and do it too, even without much knowledge.

Sometimes you just need a mental break.

We finished the floors yesterday just in time for friends from out of province to arrive so today was a much needed mini vacation around our neck of the woods, hitting up our favorite places and showing Nova Scotia’s splendour.

Here’s to 2023 and taking time to recharge when you need it!

In honour of 2022 coming to a close, I’m resharing our most liked Photo of the year.

To say I miss this home is an understatement. I painted that laundry room green right before last Christmas on a whim with many of you telling me it was a bad decision. Yet, I still love it and miss that space dearly. I know this home will be great, but it will take time. Who’s ready to follow us as we make this home feel just as cosy in 2023 as our last?

Happy New Year!!

On this day 7 years ago, we told her moms to meet

On this day 7 years ago, we told her moms to meet us for lunch, and Rob told me that he would handle the rest. All I had to do was show up with my hair done make up done and a dress on. On that day, a day that was always my favorite (Christmas Eve eve) I made the biggest best decision of my life. I promised to spend the rest of my life with the person who feels like home. Marriage is HARD. and we have had many seasons where it’s been harder than others. But with each fight, I know you’re it @wilddecoelisphotography because instead of feeling mad, I’m just wanting it to be over so I can have your hugs. I love you. Happy Anniversary my love.

Between the change in surroundings, stress from mo

Between the change in surroundings, stress from moving, and three kids, it’s an understatement to say our sleep has been affected by our recent move! Unpacking and making our new home comfortable has made for a long three months. The last time Rob and I invested in new bedding was before we started dating. We’ve been searching for the right type for us, knowing we wanted something that was an alternative to down as well as warm and natural. @resthousesleepsolutions was the answer. Using only natural materials, like wool, cotton and rubber latex, Resthouse focuses on individual sleep needs. The level of fill in their rubber latex or wool pillows can be adjusted for a perfect fit and their eco wool comforters come in a variety of weights and can even be split down the middle to accommodate a hot and cool sleeper in one bed. We wanted to give one of you a chance to win a Kakūn Wool Comforter, a Coyuchi Relaxed Sateen Duvet Cover and two customizable Kakūn pillows with Coyuchi Organic Relaxed Sateen cases from @resthousesleepsolutions valued at $1,500!
