Budget Breakdown: After a Major Flood, They Fixed Up Their Midcentury With $216K and a Ton of Paint

There are five murals in Coby and Leeroy Starck’s house in Victoria, Canada, but it’s easy to lose track of the exact number. Color seems to spring from every corner, whether it’s the painting above the pink living room couch, the checkered tile around the kitchen window, or even the vibrant mailbox. Every space is Coby’s canvas, from the walls and doors, to the floors and fireplace hearth. "My home is basically a gallery of things I have created," says Coby, a self-taught artist, designer, and maker. "Art, textiles, cabinet hardware, furniture—you name it, I’ve made it."
