Ms. Kaehler's home is proof that traditional design can be young and fresh. Alex's youthful energy is apparent in her charming approach to mixing traditional and contemporary art and furnishings. A delightful home base for a young family.

She has good taste yet is down to earth and she skillfully designed the house around a growing family. The formal living room is very elegant yet relaxing and she knows how to create conversation groupings wt the furniture placements. Guests would feel very comfortable stretching out on the divan. The dog that follows her around looks well-loved. I have the same designing sensibilities but with a beer budget😊

Spectacular!! Beautiful!! What a great way to entertain!! I love the moldings she added and the artwork of her grandmother! Gorgeous!!

Love the dress!!! the house is lived in, style, and comfy! love it!

Absolutely beautiful family home. I love her choices. I don't live in a traditional home, but they're my favorite to view. Thank you Allison.

Beautiful!!! ❤❤❤ Bring on more Chicago area homes!

That is very cozy, it is a place where I could live with my family.

I really like how all the artwork has meaning to her. And that she wanted her home to be a lived in home. So many look like museums. Like she said it was designed so it would work for their lifestyle. The scarf framed was really pretty as well.

I love the idea of your home as a nest, I feel the same way about my home too. ❤

Beautiful home. Love the drunk grandma design style 😂 All kidding aside a lot of thought went into this home and it’s stunning!

Beautiful well thought out home thank you for sharing. But please, give your beautiful dog a comfy bed to lay on in that crate in the kitchen instead of him laying on the hard plastic pan.

Thank you, Homeworthy, for featuring a mid-western, and as a bonus, Chicago-area home. I enjoyed hearing this designer’s philosophy of mixing comfort, family-friendly and beauty in each room. Each room was inviting; the house plan so well thought out. Very cool to see one of Elliot Bergman’s bells featured!

Love this house, seems so inviting and light and airy. The painting of the grandmother is lovely and looks like the homeowner and her style of clothing is beautiful too. Barb

Love the home! Need her dress, it’s gorgeous!

I loved her style, drunk grandma is gorgeous!

The rosé .. Yep that would be me . All day everyday 😁

One of my favorite homes! I love all the wallpaper, so gorge! Winnetka is such an affluent area; I love that this home is beautiful without looking outrageously pretentious. Stunning!

Everything is elegant but usable. I love it!

OMG ,love the Rose wine dispenser,!!😄🍷,and your beautiful home ,and your beautiful dress!♥️

Beutiful home, lovely lady, the portrait of her grandmother was so gorgeous and she looked like her too.

FINALLY someone around my age (Im 35) with the same taste dubbed Grandmillenial. You can have traditional taste with classic touches that doesn't make you seem like a stuffy 85 year old. Love her home, especially things she has incorporated that reminds her of her family.

My mother, who is in her 80's, gave me a wonderful upbringing and sense of style and appreciation of the arts. Nothing stuffy going on there. They are the generation that created many of the interior designs you choose to label "Grandmillenial." How ironic in that she is part of the greatest generation. ☺️

What a beautiful house! Her master bedroom blew me away . Pink splendor !

That's a great brass bell bowl! Lovely wallpapers. Artwork included! I'd have the heat going consistently. It's freezing here in Chicago! Nice collections. I'm surprised the ceilings weren't raised! Very nice interior and exterior. I do think the small strip of wallpaper would look nice on the kitchen ceiling, since the white, is so stark. I understand her need for "garden feel". We dont live in the season long enough! Home Sweet Home!

Beautiful- would Love to see this space decorated for the holidays!!!✨

Loved !!!!

Lovely balance of using family heirlooms and classic patterns for fabrics mixed with more modern elements and art ❤

I LAUGHED WHEN SHE SAID THE ENTRY WAY WASNT BIG LOL OH MY GOODNESS I THINK ITS HUGE BEAUTILFUL HOME.....LOVE THE BACKYARD TOTALLY KNOW WHY THEY FELL IN LOVE WITH IT.

Beautiful….love that framed scarf from your mom. How wonderful …that’s a great idea.🩷

Wonderful warm intelligently designed home with many surprises! I appreciate the home is not over decorated!!!

Quintessentially traditional, stylish, unpretentious, timeless and classy. Appreciate the updated style for a tried and true home, plus truly unexpected and charming touches - like marble wallpaper on the ceiling. Very inspiring, thank you.

Wow. Homes are meant to be lived in, that includes the four-legged family members that dwell in the homes.

Well loved.....well lived.....well life. You're Blessed.

Gorgeous is an under statement. 💚

Very nice home that's traditional yet up to date at the same time. One question: could we get a few more home tours from people who aren't already professional designers? I really like the tours of people who are great at decorating but aren't professionals.

favorites--the framed scaf, the garden wallpaper and your dress!

Love the pink/peach wall in the entry, and the elephants. Your back yard is gorgeous!

Beautiful home and gracious owner. Thank you for the tour. Would anybody know which company makes the large sliding doors leading to the sunroom/patio?

Lovely!

My goodness. You are so into your things and what they mean to you, and how much you love them, but your kids could still destroy them and you are fine with that. Bless your heart.

Lovely home. Thank you. 😊👍

It’s a beautiful home but can we talk about her puppy he follows her around like true love animals do that as a form of affection that means they know you take good care of them and love them 🤍🐶🤍 when they don’t follow you want to be under you look out 🤣

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home here in Chicago. The herringbone flooring is very nice and the two green elephants in the foyer area are simple cute!! ☺ I like the open concept with the kitchen and family/entertainment area!! Nice!! I like to see how many people arrange the home/condo that they want to live in. And yes, I hear you about our Chicago weather and needing a place to take off your boots and coats!!! I saw the snow here back on Tuesday and it was 🤪 crazy!! Well, thank you again for giving me some design ideas.

YES PLEASE SPOIL THE PUP

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home, your dog is adorable. 🥰 🐕

No fence around the pool with young children. Parents be warned

My favorite space was the primary bedroom, especially the wall paper. Overall it was a bit busy for my eye, but there were some lovely pieces of art!

Nice house. Why keep a painting over the range? Won’t all the cooking grease destroy it?

I really love what she's done and I think it's wonderful that she's juxtaposed her sister's beautiful art work, with the fabric from her grandmother's living room. I have a significant appreciation for a mixture of contemporary and traditional and I think it's wonderful that she has created this with so many references to her family throughout the house. It really puts a personal stamp on it. I also really adore that her coffee tables are minimally decorated. I'm really tired of the coffee table that is overflowing with books and baubles. It makes me claustrophobic and I'm ready for that trend to go away.

I love that you said you like to think of your design style for the house as it was decorated by a drunk granny. I think that shows your sense of humor. Your house is thoughtful and gorgeous. High style meets practical living. Thank you ❤
