When it came to redecorating her Bethesda home for the first time in more than 20 years, Rachelle Roth knew exactly what she needed: peace, calm and a fresh start.

Roth owns Urban Country, a home furnishings store in Bethesda that she and her late husband, Jeffrey, opened in 1991. Over the years, they filled their store with finds from wholesale markets in High Point, N.C., to flea markets in France. Meanwhile, their home remained stuck in the 1980s, awash in hunter green and peachy pink from the ghosts of Ralph Lauren’s and Niermann Weeks’ past.
