This dining area, at the front of the house, is accessed via large pocket doors off the hallway, increasing the sense of space. “Now we’ve opened up this room, it’s almost part of the hall,” says Von Stockhausen, of VSP Interiors. “We wanted to make the space flow a bit better because of all the children. Most of the time the doors are left open, but for more formal dinner parties, the space can be shut off.”
She adds, “The client likes everything quite neutral, leaning more to grays than creams, and she loves things that sparkle.” The designer chose a soft sea grass wallpaper with silver leaf to bring in a bit of texture and weight. She had the dining table made with an ebony veneered base and a glass top, and stained the dining chair legs to match. She also reupholstered the chairs in a silvery taupe fabric with chrome nailing for a more contemporary look.
A cupboard in the left-hand corner is covered in the same wallpaper so it blends seamlessly with the rest of the room. “Everything from carafes to glasses are in there — basically anything you’d need in a dining room,” Von Stockhausen says.
