Though this crafty couple tackled every project of this home’s remodel themselves, including gutting the whole kitchen and rebuilding it from scratch. But interior designer Michelle Gage says the wallpaper is where we “splurged the most. Not only is it more expensive than painting, but it’s also the only labor we’ve hired. We’ve tackled every other project ourselves, but we knew our limits here.” Anthropologie wallpaper was used in the office, and Hygge & West wallpaper was used in an upstairs studio.

Ruth’s home is filled with deep blue-green and gray colors, as well as butterflies, corals, plants, colorful ceramics, and patterned textiles, including the Gable Wallpaper from Farrow & Ball in the kid’s bedroom.
