How does a wallpaper entrepreneur decorate her own house? With lots of style and a little restraint...
GOOD ON PAPER

Elizabeth Rees isn't an interior designer, but as the cofounder of the wallpaper company Chasing Paper, she has learned a lot about decorating. So when she and her husband, Brian Leadley, bought a 1927 Tudor home in Whitefish Bay, WI, Elizabeth I couldn't wait to renovate it. A total redo allowed the couple to add color and pattern in big ways, like navy kitchen cabinets and a teal Zia Tile surround for the fireplace in the living room. "I know I like cool tones, so I started with blues and grays, then layered on other colors with paint, fabric, and of course wallpaper," she says. She had so much fun with the creative process, she jokes with Brian that they should do it all over again. "He's like, 'Oh no!'"

EXTERIOR

Elizabeth and Brian were immediately drawn to the home's charming Tudor details, including original leaded windows, green-gray trim, and stone accents. "My personal aesthetic is traditional with quirks that make things interesting, and that's a Tudor for sure," Elizabeth says.
