Westmoreland Project Reveal | the Foyer
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.
When you first walk through the door of the Westmoreland Project, you are immediately greeted with a spacious foyer, with the dinning room off to the left, the home office to the right, and a clear view of the living room. With the little wall-space that there is, we wanted to create a vignette that gave you a taste of what the rest of the home feels like.

When designing the entry, we wanted to make it feel like this young family of seven had lived in this home forever. Placing this vintage console table against the wall, we provided a place to drop your keys, check your make-up and store shoes.
Besides being just functional, this entry is also beautiful as we styled the console with a variety of found objects (i.e. vintage pickle jar, demijohn, coral, and silver heirloom trays). We wanted this entry to have character and soul.
The woven mirror and heirloom silver trays provide the perfect place to stop and check your make-up before grabbing your keys and heading out the door, while the large woven basket is the perfect place to toss your shoes. Combining both beauty and function, this foyer is a winner.

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