Working with you from Design Concept to Construction Completion while prioritzing function so not only is it beautiful, it's functional, too. We focus on mid-high end designs. Kitchens, bathrooms, basements, remodels and more, we turn those renovation dreams into reality.

I’ve spent the last 2.5 months going back and forth with Facebook, and after receiving several emails confirming they’d change the name on this page on their end, to no avail, it has not been changed. Please like, share, and invite your friends, as I try to grow a new page Willoak Homes from scratch. It’s challenging in the social world to grow a following to 1100+ people and I’m hopeful that I can get somewhere near there. Your support does not go unnoticed, so thank you to all of those who believe in me and this business and share my post/page. 🖤

It’s with sadness and frustration that after months of emails with FB, I am left with no choice but to create a new page for Willoak Homes. Please like, share, and invite your friends as I try to grow this page to where my old page used to be.

Had so much fun with this one! Here are the 2025 anticipated colours of the year from the experts in the industry, and how I would use each one in a home. Which one is your fav?!

WELL, HI! First, I want to thank all of you for your love + support on the new name . My heart is so full. 🥹 AND, I’ve got some new headshots, who dissss! 💁🏼‍♀️

With the new name, I think a re-introduction and what I’m all about is needed. So HI. 👋🏼 I’m Samantha, Director, Design + Projects and I’m also the owner of Willoak Homes - a female owned, design + renovation company. Many ask, what does that mean? Well, you get a beautifully designed home with the full service experience of a designer but I also coordinate with all of the necessary trades to complete your project. I eliminate the general contractor and that saves YOU money. I facilitate your renovation from start -> finish. How freakin’ cool. I’m here to break the mould of the typical contractor by providing you an elevated experience. I’m holding myself to some pretty high standards, because homeowners simply deserve better.

5 quick personal things about me:
1. I love to read
2. Being outside is my happy place
3. I moved to a sober lifestyle in Nov 2023 and haven’t looked back!
4. I have a gluten allergy
5. I’m really short, like really short, I’m in the under 5’ club.

Thanks for being here and supporting me! Ps. An extra shoutout to business who love and recommend me any chance they can. You know who you are! 🫶🏽

Extra PS. And if you don’t support a women owned business in a male dominated industry, I’m embarrassed for you. It’s 2025, man. But your opinion of me is your own, and I couldn’t care less. I know what I bring to the table! 😉

I have been so excited to share that Ivory + Oak Design Co is now Willoak Homes! Our new name is incredibly meaningful to us… read more on our journal on why I felt the need to make this change! 🖤

Entering into our fifth year of business, we have an exciting announcement to make!

Everytime I walk into the kitchen I say to myself “I love our kitchen so much.” And I also loved our all white kitchen but for the past 6 months or so it’s been yelling at me “add colour, add some texture, add some warmth!” So we did and let me tell you I am obsessed. I love the mix of tiles, the wallpaper, adding in the wood, it all to me is just 👌🏽. In the middle of the refresh I was second guessing myself but also kept reminding myself to “trust the process” and I’m so happy I did! There’s still a couple items left on the “to-do” list but in time those will come!!

Edited to add, that if you don’t feel this way about your kitchen or any room in your house - this is what we’re here for! We work with you through the design, manage the construction and are there for completion! Contact us today to start your renovation!

R E V E A L ✨ cause honestly I’m too excited to wait until the rest of what’s planned for the girls bathroom to be done to share!! 🤩 I’m obsessed with the arched niche and the install pattern of the tile. It all feels so perfect and worth the wait. Moving on to part 2 of the refresh!
