The main floor of this charming Midcentury Modern-style home underwent a stunning transformation and was such a fun project to work on! The loveliest couple purchased this home in the spring of 2023 with the intension of renovating the entire main floor. The homeowners wanted their new home to feel warm and cozy while embracing a minimalist design aesthetic and monochromatic finishes. With any new design project, we always start with a site visit to take photos and measure the existing space. Below is the demolition plan (left image) illustrating the initial layout of the property and the image on the right shows how we later reconfigured the bathroom layouts.     Recognizing the need for a more functional layout,…

The pandemic has changed the way we use our home. Moving forward we need to create spaces…

Today’s post is long overdue, but better late than never right!? We are so excited to show you some before and after pictures from our latest kitchen renovation project with Delize Inc. We absolutely loved working on this project and making this home owners vision come to life. The original kitchen layout wasn’t very functional with how small it was and there were a lot of cabinets that just weren’t practical for the home owner. The home owner wanted to open up the space by removing the wall at the fridge and by opening up the wall between her dining room and sunk-in living room. We discussed expanding the kitchen into what was her second eating area and adding an…

As usual, we’ve been working hard here at Weaver Design and we have an exciting new project to share with you! Sutton Showhome – 2520 sf Weaver design teamed up with Western Modular Homes back in April 2017 to design one of their new showhomes at their new location in Nisku, AB. We couldn’t be more pleased with how it turned out!

This storey-and-a-third home is a…
