It may have taken a few months to strip and get the panels up, but they were the start to this weeklong makeover. Plus, the new cushion on my diy bench, makes this space the perfect extra seating area for a kids table during our family dinners, or just a quiet place to have a glass of wine when the kids are in the living room. Wainscot can add such a huge impact to a space and in this sense was very budget friendly and easy to install. Make sure you follow us @thewilddecoelis for more DIY spaces.

So last year, we were gifted The Knife Set from @kilnecookware and have used it every day since. Country living means homemade meals 3 times a day. The award-winning Knife Set has stood the test of its stay sharp claims. We loved them so much, we gifted them to my mom. She cooks for our family so much and one thing she truly needed was new knives. She is so happy with them and we love that we know they will last her forever.

Awkward space no longer! Over the 10 years of Rob

Awkward space no longer!
Over the 10 years of Rob and I living together, we have taken on many projects, including a whole house renovation in the last house. But the keyword of that is together. This time not only did I want to prove to myself that I can take on a project alone, but with Rob’s new schedule at work, I knew I had to for bowls, timeline, and my mental sanity. We sourced architectural salvage to divide the space off from the new kitchen, and I added a wall treatment to truly differentiate it from the rest. But now is the time to give this space a new name as ‘the awkward space’ name we have given it for so long no longer works. Should it be
A. The bar area (our bar is the built in)
B. The quiet space
C. The study 🤷🏻‍♀️
D. Your suggestion

There are so many benefits of owning a cat but one

There are so many benefits of owning a cat but one of the cons is definitely litter box changing. Since getting the @littergenie, we have turned it into a routine where we can easily just scoop in the mornings when we feed the cats and not have to worry in between. But having two cats means twice the poop. Our Litter Genie would need to get changed out every few days to keep up. That’s why we were so excited when they launched the Litter Genie XL+ Pail. Not only is it designed for multiple cat homes, but the NEW Jumbo Refill uses 35% less plastic and lasts twice as long as the standard refills. Plus, nothing can beat the odor-locking barrier technology to seal in the smell. How many cats do you have?

After a whole Summer of kids being home, I realize

After a whole Summer of kids being home, I realized the importance of a quiet space to hide in, get work done and just get a moment alone. We moved out Ikea chair into our bedroom to create a space for this exact reason. But, it needed to be leveled up. Thanks to @comfortworks performance weave fabric cover, we made this space cozy. They are currently having their fall sale so if you have one of the many brands they recover of furniture that needs a refresh, this is the perfect time to jump on it. Use code FALL40 for USD40 off orders below USD500.
Use code FALL70 for USD70 off orders above USD500.

So we fell in love with our dream home, while having no plans on selling our current home… yes that’s right, we somehow pulled off a two-week turnaround of putting our one house up for sale while purchasing the dream home up the road.
It’s been almost a year since all of this started and without our REALTOR®’s help and guidance on how to make it even feasible, it would never have happened. From lists of what to do to get our house ready to sell (our first time selling a home) to negotiating our dream home down to a price we could afford, she was our saving grace.

*ad When you think of refreshing your décor…what do you think of? If you’re my people, you know your mind goes straight to @HomesSenseCanada. That’s why when we finally got our shelves installed, I HAD to run to my local HomeSense and grab a few new pieces for them. I found such amazing quality décor made to last for incredibly low prices. From pottery made in Barcelona to beautiful wood grain items. What are you looking for on your next HomeSense trip? #MyHomeSenseCanada #MyHomeSense

Next stop…trimming them out. Well, and drawers

Next stop…trimming them out.

Well, and drawers for the kitchen cabinets. We knew we needed antique French doors when we turned this laundry room into a pantry. Turns out we found the door before we even finalized on the purchase of this house. We snagged it after seeing a Facebook marketplace, listing for ladders that were sitting next to it. A lot of elbow grease got us here but, the final product is exactly what we had hoped for. Would you have ever thought of cutting a door in half?

I’ve gotten this question so often lately, so I thought I would address it in a reel.
One of my biggest tips for clients when we are designing a living room, and they have children and dogs, are to make sure the covers of the sofa are always washable.

my favourite budget friendly version of this is to purchase some of @ikeacanada beautiful furniture. But here’s the key, if you purchase the furniture in store, you don’t have to purchase one of the slip covers and it will save you a few hundred dollars. Instead we swear by using @comfortworks. They make slip covers for many different brands that fit perfectly, including IKEA. We went with their performance fabric in cream, and we absolutely love the way it has held up to both our pets and our kids. Not to mention their customer service has been top notch through the whole process. Would you do cream furniture with pets and kids?

The glue hasn’t set and @livingstonehfx only jus

The glue hasn’t set and @livingstonehfx only just pulled out of the driveway, but I was way too excited and had to get started on putting things together. I’ve been envisioning this kitchen in my head since we walked through this house last September. And after almost a whole year, I can’t believe we are here. We still have so much to d.We may have lost all of the plywood for our drawers in the basement flood, but we are plugging through and making this dream a reality. Do you love or do you love?

This kitchen has been a lot of blood sweat and tea

This kitchen has been a lot of blood sweat and tears since we started it back in November. We are finally seeing the vision and with @livingstonehfx installing our @msisurfaces countertops next week…I just CANNOT WAIT to see it all together. Do we love this as much as I do??

Even with the longest kitchen renovation in histor

Even with the longest kitchen renovation in history, it’s still a dream to wake up to a similar view I got to have growing up. And my parents are only 6 mins away. Now to get the chicken coop built. Those chicks are getting big.

We live for moments as a family that allow us to explore this beautiful world around us. Our trip to New Brunswick did not disappoint. From the stunning coastline, to the epic world wonders of Hopewell Rocks, our road trip to New Brunswick brought us both closer as a family, as well as more inspired to take care of this world.

As proud new cat owners, I’m telling you right now, it is shocking how much they dirty their litter box in a day. We need all the help to make the transition to being cat parents as easy as possible. That’s why when we found out that the Litter Genie pail existed, it made the daily scoops so much easier. We love new the Easy Eoll version because we can switch it out quickly on garbage day. What has been your hardest transition when adopting a new pet?

Each Summer Rob and I grew up doing road trips with our family, so passing that tradition down to our kids has been a huge part of our parenting mission. New Brunswick is the Hub of the East Coast and even though it’s just a drive away from many provinces, it has so many adventures to experience as a family, from the nature surroundings at Creekside RNR to the more wonders of the works like Hopewell Rocks, getting out in nature in NB brings us closer together as a family and with the world that we want to take care of.

So back in the fall when we first purchased our new home, I started a series on TikTok called ‘Lately at Star Acre’. People loved it and I’ve had a few requests to bring it back. So I decided to share it over on here as well. If this is something you want to see more of make sure to follow and give this reel some love and I’ll maybe make it a weekly thing. Do

It’s been a few weeks since we got home from a road trip to New Brunswick and man do we miss the moments. After the move this winter, we really needed to recharge our batteries as a family unit. We hopped in the car and drove a short, 3 hour drive across the province to Shediac, where we got to explore the beaches, walk llamas, and see the epic sites of Hopewell Rocks. We will see you soon NB, you’ve now made us fall in love with you.

We just got the call… this past winter, we made

We just got the call…
this past winter, we made a rash decision to order 13 layer chicks to arrive this summer and we are about to go pick them up, which also means this century old farm is about to have animals again.
It also means that Summer is officially here. In my 36 years being on this earth, I have realized that I prefer functionality and quality over lots of clothes. So each season I grab a few timeless pieces that are top quality and ethically made to add to my closet. @anothershopboutique was my go to location, and I ended up getting three outfits because I just couldn’t decide on one. This entire outfit is linen and designed by the owner Sarah. Shall I do a story try on?

Turning on a hose has to be one of the most annoyi

Turning on a hose has to be one of the most annoying parts of outdoor plumbing. Not only are the spigots usually hideous, but they are a pain in the butt to crank on and off. Not to mention the risk of freezing. At our last home, we discovered @aquorwatersystems and their stunning dark covers changed the water game for us. There are no taps involved, the outlet uses water pressure. As soon as you connect the hose with one quick twist of your wrist, you have water. As soon as we purchased this new home, we saw that they had just launched a limited edition gold line, and we knew it would be perfect for our future plans for the exterior of the house. We invested in switching out the exterior taps for our Aquor system and are never looking back. Use code THEWILDDECOELIS10M for 10% off your order.
