KMSalter Design

Sometimes a kitchen island just can’t fit in the working triangle space, so we improvise! Another fabulous kitchen we collaborated with @hamiltonholmes @hh_millwork Not shown, a fabulous sideboard/coffee station area. #kmsdkitchenreno #burlingtonontario #whitekitchen #ushapedkitchen

I popped into #kmsdprojectcharlton today to hang a few pieces of art and measure for some last decorating details. Can you believe we have been working on this project for a year now? Between the pandemic, lead times, etc., it has just taken this long. Luckily, my clients/neighbours are THE best and are so patient. Swipe right for the before photo of this space It was a bedroom. Now it’s fabulous main bath for everyone to enjoy! #kmsdinteriors #kmsdbeforeandafter #kmsdbathroomreno #bathroomdesign #bathroomrenovation #centuryhome #hamont

Thanksgiving weekend is here and we are thankful for the beautiful weather, each other and the extra day off to relax this weekend. Enjoy your holiday weekend! #longweekendvibes #thanksgiving #fallvibes #toddlerlife #hamont

#kmsdprojectking, I have missed you! I was finally able to see this space lived in and it did not disappoint. It gives me such pleasure to see clients exist in their spaces that we created. It’s powerful stuff. Memories (and messes) are being made and isn’t that what life is all about? We are reunited and starting to tackle the next phase, decorating. Yay!... #kmsdexteriors #kmsdcovid #terranovahomes #classicdesign #whiteexterior #woodfrontdoor See more

Double tap if this is what working out at home looks like for you these days. Asher has become my 25 lb weight which really increases the intensity of my workout! In truth, after those first few weeks of quarantine, baking and cooking up a storm, not moving my body much, drinking a glass of wine every night, the pendulum had to swing back the other way. My mind and body needed it. ... I have started to work out from home, making it a priority, which I haven’t done in a while. And, I also have two best friends who are holding me accountable. One is a person trainer who leads us in HIIT workouts 2-3x a week and kicks our butts each time! How amazing is that?! We have replaced wine nights with working out and it’s pretty powerful and inspiring! Not to mention, I get to see their faces on the regular. Thank you @sfourniier for all your hard work, body positivity and killer work outs! And for @sdrealtortrishsvitak for sweating along with us. Power in numbers! #kmsdrealife #kmsdcovid #workingoutathome #momlife #toddlerlife #toddlermomlife #hamont See more

Word on the street is...houseplants are back in a serious way! This is no surprise to me as I believe that plants add life to a space and makes them feel lived in. Since quarantine, home owners are turning to planting (indoor and out) as a way to improve their surroundings simply, as a form of meditation and a way to be creative and productive! For indoors, I generally choose low maintenance plants (think ZZ plants or snake plants) and ones that will have varying hei...ghts. Add them to shelves, table tops, well sunlit bookcases or a vacant corner that just needs some life. Tall trees like palms or fiddle leafs are also a fav but they require lots of light and care (so be aware)! #kmsdprojectlakeshore #plantsplantsplants #houseplantsofinstagram #decoratewithplants #breakfastnook #kitchentable See more

Hi again! I have been quiet over here, taking in what’s been happening in our world over the past few weeks; listening, learning, watching and having conversation about it all. It feels insignificant to discuss design at a time like this but I also realize that there is no overnight fix to change this significant and these human rights conversations are going to continue until we get it right! I was listening to a podcast by @brenebrown and she mentioned her mantra, ‘It...’s about getting it right, not being right’. I love this. I may not be right or say things right but I DO want to get it right for all of us to be better humans. Because as her guest, @austinchanning said, anti-racism is essentially about just being better humans. I plan to teach these wee humans how to be the best they can be and I promise to lead by example as I learn how to be better myself. #beingbetterhumans #blacklivesmatter #equalitymatters
