HOUSE TOUR | A Gut-Renovated Home in Chicago with Traditional Charm
Рет қаралды 154,292
9 ай бұрынOn today’s episode of Homeworthy, we’re bringing you inside interior designer Alex Kaehler’s gorgeous home in Winnetka, Illinois. A complete gut renovation provided Alex with the perfect opportunity to infuse some traditional charm back into the 1950’s home with crown moldings, herringbone flooring and subtle architectural details. Alex has contrasted her formal furnishings and decor with fresh, contemporary pieces - including original pointillism artwork created by her sister. In addition to prioritizing beauty, Alex has thoughtfully integrated kid-friendly storage solutions to ensure the home lives easily with her and her family. Enjoy!

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😊

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!

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. ☺️

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!

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.
