Alamo Transitional Dining Room Great Room

Attention has turned once again to dining rooms—the hidden gems of the home. With versatility in mind, this dated, cramped dining room needed to function for this couple’s lifestyle that includes a lot of entertaining with business associates and spending time unplugged and together with friends and family. Because this homeowner’s dining room was positioned right off the entryway, this room was also the first line of site, so it needed to be spectacular.

A wall was removed to gain square footage for the new dining room

The beautiful backsplash includes 6" Thassos Marble Honeycomb Mosaic Tile

A Wine cooler and ice maker were included for convenience

Vintage gold lantern pendant lights help anchor the space

The custom built-in includes Precision Cabinets Painted in Swiss Coffee

Challenge

The original space barely fit an old buffet table with a hutch and a horizontal dining table that squeezed in eight guests uncomfortably. Behind the buffet wall was a small wine room with a little round table that our client was using as a space to entertain in.

Solution

Gayler Design Build proposed designing and building a Dining Room Great Room, which included removing the wall that separated the two rooms and creating one large dining room space. The creative design solution involved relocating electrical and lighting, as well as repairing the hardwood floors where walls were removed. A beautiful custom cabinet and built-in bar were designed into the space to replace the buffet table and hutch. The vision also included adding a beverage refrigerator, wine refrigerator, and ice maker side-by-side with plenty of storage for liquor bottles and mixers—a perfect set-up for entertaining.
