Designer Emilia Wisniewski and her husband, landscaper Pete Kiriakopoulos, both of Studio 1Nine1, transform a dated Edwardian home in Toronto’s High Park into a fun destination for a growing family. This house is full of smart budget updates and durable finishes. There’s a magical wallpapered reading nook for the kids, while adults can entertain at the blush-tiled basement bar. A new deck with cooking and dining zones and artificial grass turns a small backyard into the ultimate play zone.
