Four kids, one design business, and a whole lot of coffee. Hi friends!! If we haven’t met yet, I’m Monica, founder of Aberle Design Co. A few of my favorite things include: antiques, hydrangeas and a great slab of Cararra. I tend to overuse the exclamation point, but honestly, I’m excited about soo many things!! Most of all, I love making families lives a little easier and their homes more beautiful. Glad you’re here!

One of our favorite parts of this job? Working with clients to create something totally unique to them.

This tile pattern is a perfect example: personal, one-of-a-kind, and a real reflection of what they love.

One of the most common questions we get asked: “Is millwork worth the money?” The answer is YES.

This entryway is a perfect example of why. It adds architectural character, warmth, and texture that you can’t get from drywall.

If you’re renovating, trust us… budget for it!

A deceivingly difficult part about being a designer... choosing the right paint color. ⁠
⁠
Green is having a major moment right now and becoming the new neutral, but finding the right shade can be (surprisingly) overwhelming. So when I find a few good ones that I keep going back to, I get the itch to share. ⁠

Here are four of our favorites —>

So much thought went into every inch of this primary bath, and we couldn't be happier with the result. ⁠
⁠
We had the tile floor, sink, and millwork all custom-made to complement the home’s original 1920's architecture. That classic hex tile feels like it's always been here. Seeing it all come together was pretty special.⁠
⁠
Thank you , and all of our trades for helping bring these custom pieces to life!⁠

One of the things I loved most about this kitchen was the use of antique cabinets, like this antique Hoosier cabinet, that stores dry goods for our client. Each cabinet piece has a story to tell—both the antiques and the new cabinetry made to look old.

Would you use an antique cabinet in your kitchen? Let me know your thoughts!

Welcome to the kitchen of our Colonial Revival project! This is a 1920s Dutch Colonial home in Glen Ellyn, IL, that had great bones to work with.

The heart of this kitchen is the table — it invites you to pull up a chair and gather around. Our clients have a big family, and it was very important to them that there was space for everyone to come together.

The cabinetry was made by a local cabinet company. We selected a beautiful medium-dark stain on quarter-sawn white oak, and it turned out just beautifully. Countertops are soapstone with an ogee edge and the unlacquered brass hardware will patina over time.

One of the goals in this kitchen was to keep it feeling authentic to an earlier time. You see this in the refurbished stove and the minimal cabinetry. We went with an “unfitted” look — meaning more individual pieces, like this antique cabinet, were incorporated.

We also draped the walls and ceiling in beadboard and nickel-gap paneling instead of plain drywall, and it really added to the warm, cozy character of the space.

This kitchen turned out so charming! I’m thrilled with how it all came together for our clients.

Lots of progress at our Colonial Revival project! The long-awaited cabinetry was installed last week, and we’re so happy to see the finish line coming into view.

With layered finishes, historic details, and so many thoughtful pieces coming together, this project has been a long time in the making. It’s been worth the wait!

Officially one month in as a mom of 4 🥰 and I’m being reminded again how much home shapes the rhythms of our lives.

The late nights, the slow mornings, the toys underfoot, the snuggles on the couch, the kitchen counter conversations, the beautiful chaos. This season has a way of making the meaning of home feel even clearer.

Home has always meant so much to me, but right now it feels even more sacred; full of the ordinary moments that end up meaning the most.

Soaking in this sweet first month with our newest little love.
