ANTHONY AND VALERIE EVANS'S LONDON FLAT

"If you stand still for long enough in this place, you'll either be stained or painted," jokes Anthony Evans, referring to his wife Valerie's prodigious talent with the paintbrush. Anthony is managing director of Cole & Son, the long-established British wallpaper manufacturer. Valerie is an interior designer who got her start in the business more than 30 years ago by getting a job as a builder's mate and learning how to do plumbing and build cupboards.
