GO Home Visits with: Kim Salter, Design Thoughts Interiors
You were just named to Modenus’ Top 100 Interior Design Blogs 2013 list. Congratulations! Tell us a little about what you do…
Six months ago, my family and I picked up our lives of eight years in New York and moved to east Nashville!!! When we got here I went from working as an interior designer for an architect to owning my own business, Design Thoughts Interiors, as well as continuing to write my blog (Designthoughtsblog.com) and became a stay at home mama!!
What’s your favorite part about being an interior designer?
I love that I get to tell the stories of people’s homes! It blows my mind each time I pull a room together and the client sees the personality of their home in a different light! I like to say I am a story teller. I tell stories of people’s homes, through design. It’s such a blessing to get paid for doing what you love!
What’s a hot décor trend you’re excited about?
It’s a little crazy for me to say “vintage” is hot, but more than ever, the resources are amazing. I have been working in residential jnterior design for over 15 years and I have never seen such an abundance of great vintage pieces!! I love meeting a client who is maybe, traditional in style, and they allow me to sneak just a bit of vintage in, and they love it! I am so into pieces that have meaning!
(Kim’s color scheme ideas and design inspirations from her new home: White Shell Piece- Nate Berkus for Target, Turquoise/Yellow Painting ( DIY), Yellow Graphic Pillow- Target, Yellow Melamine sm. bug Tray- World Market, Iron Chair-Pier One imports)
What item would people be surprised to find in your home?
People (who don’t really know me) would probably be surprised to find my collection of old Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera CD’s. They now sit next to my chill music of David Grey, Ray LaMantagne and Jack Johnson, but I pull them out from time to time when I need a dance break. (P.S. dance breaks are the key to success).
What’s your favorite part about going home?
Ahhh, My favorite part about going home is re-connecting to my roots. That’s what HOME is, a seedling of A root system that over a course of time, continues to thicken and strengthen with each memory, each birth, each death, each new piece, each BBQ…each gathering. HOME is everything to me.
