Farm House Fit For a Queen

Welcome to fresh new site of Valerie Wheeler Interiors! To celebrate our new look, we are kicking things off with one of our favorite project reveals! The Farm House Fit for a Queen.  It has been one year since we started working on this gorgeous custom home nestled on a family farm in Joppa, MD. We were tasked with the job of making the space feel more polished with one of a kind touches that was still cohesive with the rest of the house. The dining room was beautiful with a  fireplace and custom built ins, but lacked character (and chairs). We added millwork, designed a custom antique finished mirror and layered on the charm with a hand painted chinoiserie by Chris Vaught Studios. The furnishings were kept simple yet stately.  No frills to distract from those walls! The chairs do make our hearts skip a beat with that lush velvet and clean lines. Really there are too many details to name, so we will just leave you with some pure eye candy to devour.

The double sided fireplace divides the dining room with the foyer, so it was only fitting to carry out the classic color combination into that space as well. The black and white plaid stair runner adds a more masculine touch to play off the whimsy of the dining room.  One of our favorite design tricks is to keep  the color scheme the same throughout a home, but mix up the formality a bit from room to room. The equestrian inspired decor pulls inspiration from the properties pasture views addding to a more stately vibe. Some of our favorite details are the vintage inspired trophies lining the mantel. We love how the two spaces have their own design style but compliment each other so well.We hope you love this home tour as much as we loved working with these wonderful clients. Nothing is sweeter than seeing a project like this come to life for families who just bring so much joy into the whole process.  We have a few more project reveals coming out this Spring so be sure to sign up for our email list to get all of our latest home tours, design guides and style tips straight to you inbox.
