ike and Owen Weaver bought their Roanoke County
home more than a decade ago, when a move from
North Carolina brought them back to their hometown
of Roanoke. A job came up in Salem that suited Mike,
and Owen wanted to be close to elder family members.

After an extensive home search, the couple
settled on the wide-faced colonial that sits
on a gentle downslope, nestled on a quiet
street in the densely wooded country club
neighborhood of Hunting Hills. The 1970s
brick home needed some extensive work, but
the Weavers weren't scared off.
"It was similar to the house I grew up
in, so it just felt right and comfortable
immediately," says Owen. "We've done big
projects in other houses, and I find it fun
and enjoyable."
The Weavers embarked on a renovation in
2008, gutting the kitchen, adding space and

shoring up structural issues. After some big
life changes in the last two years, including
the passing of her mother, Owen was ready
to inject some new life into the house.
A chance meeting with Elaine Stephenson
at a holiday party sparked a collaboration
with the acclaimed Roanoke designer.
"Owen said she wanted a soothing vibe,
but also to inject some color and lightness,"
says Stephenson, who has helped the Weavers
transform the first level of their home.
It's now a space filled with pet-friendly
furnishings and fabrics, timeless touches and
unexpected splashes of color.

replaced a heavy wood

feel airy and larger.
