About Verna and Heather >
Verna Dalton established Dalton Interiors in 1981 in North Scituate, Massachusetts. In 1984, she moved the business to Kingston, Massachusetts where she maintains a home studio at 11 Elm Street. After a wonderful six year collaboration with Langenbach Fine Art and Antiques, in the summer of 2006, Dalton Interiors expanded its space by renovating and moving to 53 Summer Street, Kingston. Here customers are free to browse a sampling of their product line consisting of many “designer only” resources. A rotation of fine lamps, rugs, fabrics, wall coverings, furnishings and accessories are shown at Summer Street. A sprinkling of gift items was added. In home/office consultations remain by appointment.
Verna has been designing since receiving her interior desing degree in 1973. She is an affiliate member of A.S.I.D. and has taught courses in interior design at Quincy College as well as lectured to various community groups. She has participated in numerous Junior League Show houses and has had her work displayed at the Scituare Arts Festival, the South Shore Arts Center in Cohasset and at the Ellison Center for the Arts in Duxbury. Show houses she has participated in are the Duxbury Rural and Historical Society Show House and the Pilgrim Society Show House in the Pinehills. Verna was asked to design for an episode of HGTV's "Designer's Challenge".
In 2000 Heather Dowd joined Dalton Interiors. Heather has a design degree and business degree and has worked for over fifteen years in various areas within the interior design industry. Heather is certified through I.R.I.S. as an interior redesign industry specialist.
Dalton Interiors' client base, while largely located in Boston, on the South Shore and Cape Cod, has included projects throughout the New England area. Dalton Interiors services both residential and contract clients and has participated in numerous community-based projects.
The firm's philosophy is that a relaxed well thought out approach to a project makes for both charming results and a pleasurable design experience. Because many clients do a little at a time over the course of several or many years, quality is always stressed. After thirty years in the design profession and having witnessed many changes in the marketing of designer goods and services, Dalton Interiors feels it owes its longevity in the field to a consistent work ethic of personalized service, product quality, attention to detail combined with a user friendly approach.
Services the firm offers include redesign design consultation, transition design, design for resale, master planning for new construction, lighting design, finish, fixture and color selection, on site project supervision, furniture arrangement, accessorizing as well as specification and procurement of fine goods and services.
