This perfectly renovated traditional colonial home, located just outside of Chicago, is the subject of today’s tour

I know you’re going to love this one.

Renovated Traditional Colonial Home

How charming is this house?

It belongs to designer Alex Kaehler of  Alexandra Kaehler Design.

Today’s home tour is a little extra special and fun for me.

Here’s why-

I first talked about designer Alex Kaelhler’s beautiful design work back in 2013!

Through the years we’ve been online friends, direct messaging each other on both design and non design related matters.

We even met briefly in New York City at a design related event several years ago.

So, of course I was extra excited to see Alex’s own recently updated house – every room is so stunningly beautiful!

Design lovers, if you live in the Chicago area, you’re in for a special treat.

Back to Alex and her gorgeous designs.

Alex will also be participating in the Lake Forest Show House.

The home’s porch area is Alex’s designated space.

Based on Alex’s own lovely screened in porch and patio (seen below) there’s no doubt it will be equally inspiring!

Be sure to check out the The Lake Forest Show House site for the full list of designers and more details on this event.

Thanks so much for sharing your lovely traditional colonial home here today Alex!

Updated! A few people have asked about the exterior paint color on Alex’s home.

It’s a custom blend, more details here!

PS: Another exquisite Chicago area home I can never get enough of!
