Westmoreland Project Reveal | the Dining Room
Its hard to find the words to express how much we enjoyed designing this home. Gracious in scale and with good bones, we were given an empty palette to create something beautiful and meaningful that would live on with this family for years to come. Taking note of the home’s location - Southeastern Virginia - the style of this project could be described as a sort-of Southern, coastal, new-traditional style.
Trading their old home for one right across town, our clients - a young family of seven - were ready for something with a bit more space! Having helped with the design of their last home, the Stoney Creek Project, they were kind enough to ask us to help them with their interior design of their new home, the Westmoreland Project. Focusing on the: foyer, living room, dining room, kitchen, home office, and master bedroom, we were able to take what was once a dark, dated house and turn it into something beautiful, warm and light.
Similar to the design of the client’s last dining room, we kept the design of the Westmoreland Project dining room fairly simple. A few changes helped to create a big impact!
BEFORE:
Like most of the rooms in the Westmoreland Project, the dining room had great bones, it just needed a little updating; specifically when it came to wall color and lighting.
AFTER:
Walking in through the front door, you have the home office off to the right and the dining room to left. Keeping the design fairly simple in style, we made some significant changes by changing the wall color and lighting. The combination of using Benjamin Moore’s Beach Glass on the walls and Chalk Paint by Annie Sloan’s Old White on the table, we were able to create the most serene dining room that you’ve ever seen.
Wanting to keep things feeling light and airy, we selected a beautiful, contemporary chandelier that makes a subtle statement. We kept the styling on the dining room table simple with vases filled with flowers.

“I feel as if I stepping into a spa,” our client recently remarked. “It’s just so peaceful and elegant.”
