Thanks so much for visiting KM Design & Decor! We are really glad you are here! We love decorating and design and working together with our clients to help them create an organized, comfortable and beautiful space that they love to live in. We look forward to working with you!
Kari MacLeod was born and raised in Massachusetts, where she still lives today with her husband and 3 daughters and their dog Brandy. After getting her undergraduate degree in Neuropsychology from UMass Amherst, she lived a few years in beautiful Boulder Colorado, and returned to MA to get her Masters degree in Early Childhood education at Lesley College. She taught kindergarten and a multi-age K-1 class and preschool in Needham before she had her 3rd daughter and decided to stay home. She became a full-time decorator in 2021 after helping friends and family members decorate their homes for years. Truthfully her favorite part of teaching, besides the kids, was the setting up and organizing her classroom. Even as a child organizing was how she "played". She believes when everything has a place in your home it makes for a happier and calmer vibe for everyone that lives there. She loves her job and enjoys helping others love their homes. She has always liked writing and views blogging as a creative outlet.
KT Myles is Kari's sister-in-law and she and Kari have always worked together on design projects. They both love organizing and have completed multiple projects together in their own homes, at their lake houses (both listed on VRBO) and to help out friends and family with design. KT has a background in engineering and sailed around the world for 7 years so she is a master organizer as well. She also loves decorating her home with the decor she found and pictures she took while traveling. KT has her 2nd degree black belt in Krav Maga and teaches classes at a Krav Mega studio.
KM Design & Decor is a family business (even our husbands sometimes pitch in!) and we can't wait to work with your family to help you fall in love with your home again! In the course of our work we have been surprised to meet others who actually don't like decorating and organizing and picking decor because that is what we love! They always say you should do what you spend most of your free time doing. We all realized that in our free time we were decorating our own homes or helping friends create cozy, beautiful, comfortable and organized homes. Thus KM Design & Decor was created so that we can help clients put finishing touches on their homes, create systems to make sharing a home easier, assist with new construction design, stage homes to rent or sell, and ultimately love the home they live in! Contact us if you would like to work with us on a project in your own home!
