Interior designer Alexandra Kaehler walks through eight homes she built for young families, her own among them, in more than 200 photographs. The work runs to layered prints at different scales, wallpapers and fabrics from Schumacher, de Gournay and Lee Jofa, and rooms that hold traditional architecture against how a family actually lives in it. Written with Hadley Keller, photographed by Aimée Mazzenga.
