Teresa Mullins

Teresa Mullins, who owns and operates M&M Hospitality Group with her husband Brian, is the design force behind the contemporary interior of River Stone Chophouse and the elegant lodge ambiance of Vintage Tavern.

Early Roots in Hospitality & Design

A lifelong Hampton Roads resident, Mullins first started in the hospitality industry as a student, working at local restaurants to put herself through college at Old Dominion University. After graduation, she put her experience in hospitality to good use, helping husband Brian launch the successful building and commercial development venture Quality Homes, Inc. while she worked at Dominion Power.

As Quality Homes, Inc. expanded, she left her desk job to take on the full-time role of interior designer, working with individual homeowners to personalize each house and select the lighting, tile and furnishings that made them into homes. She continues to select the décor for the company’s model homes today.

Flair for Design

Mullins brought this extensive experience designing unique and personal interiors for homes to some of Hampton Roads most notable landmarks: Vintage Tavern and River Stone Chophouse.

For M&M Hospitality Group’s first restaurant, Vintage Tavern, Mullins chose several of Brian’s hunting trophies to highlight the walls, setting off the Rumford stone fireplace and hearth. The restaurant’s warm, welcoming décor gives guests the feeling of a cozy family-style extended living room.

For River Stone, the décor has a decidedly contemporary feel – a perfect contrast to the stunning Arts and Crafts designed exterior. Much of the artwork comes from local artists. The downstairs dining room uses the architecture itself as a design element, making use of exposed beams and showcasing warm reds and gold colors that enhance the beauty of the building. The upstairs, comprised of four rooms for private business and social entertaining, lends a prestigious air to any gathering.

Married for more than 20 years, Mullins and her husband are partners in every sense of the word, helming M&M Hospitality Group, Quality Homes, Inc., and the Shoppes on the Village Green in Governor’s Pointe together. Mullins is also actively involved in animal rescue, placing several strays with new families or welcoming them into her own.
