Project Spotlight: Wilberton Road
A Toronto Family Home Gets a Thoughtful, Tailored Refresh
Elle and Jeff’s classic Toronto home had great bones, but it was time to make those bones work harder. The vision? Bring in more light, better flow, and the kind of finishes that feel special the second you walk in the door.
From the ground up, this project makes every square foot count. We underpinned the crawl space to carve out a whole new lower level, now home to a proper wine cellar, a cozy rec room, a laundry and mudroom, and radiant in-floor heating to keep things warm year-round.
Upstairs, every space got a dose of texture, polish, and personality. The dining room sets the tone with Venetian plaster on the walls and ceiling, paneling, and Phillip Jeffries wallpaper. In the front living room, grass cloth wallpaper and new mouldings add layers without feeling fussy.
The back family room is all about quiet drama: custom plaster ceiling details, a showpiece Arabescato Corchia marble fireplace, a Napoleon insert, custom millwork, and a Samsung Frame TV — all ready for cozy nights in.
Exterior
A welcoming front entry with new stonework, elegant overhang, and fencing. Fresh paint and trim make the whole house shine.
Dining Room
Everyday meals feel special surrounded by elegant Venetian plaster walls and ceiling, detailed paneling, and a statement glass chandelier.
Front Living Room
A refined yet inviting space layered with applied mouldings and grass cloth wallpaper (Phillip Jeffries) for texture and depth.
Back Family Room
Reimagined with custom plaster mouldings, a dramatic ceiling design, and a showstopping custom-fabricated Arabescato Corchia marble fireplace surround framing the new Napoleon fireplace. A Samsung Frame TV and bespoke millwork complete this cozy hub.
Banquette
A cozy built-in banquette with custom millwork, tailored seating, and a beautiful Visual Comfort light fixture — an inviting nook for morning coffee or casual dinners.
Kitchen
The heart of the home, Calcutta Verde marble counters and backsplash with waterfall edges, lacquered green cabinets, a Wolf range, Fisher & Paykel fridge, and polished Canaroma fixtures.
Powder Room
Dressed in Schumacher wallpaper, a custom marble vanity, and a hammered brass sink — proof that small spaces deserve big design moments.
Kids’ Bathroom
A timeless space where Schumacher wallpaper brings a soft touch of pattern, White Thassos marble tiles add crisp brightness, and every detail is expertly laid by Scala Tiles for a polished, family-friendly finish.
Primary Bathroom
A serene retreat wrapped in White Thassos marble, paired with Canaroma fixtures for a spa-like feel.
Throughout the Home
New Ridley Windows & Doors flood the home with natural light and enhance curb appeal. Every room features new hardwood flooring, updated pot lights, fresh trim and hardware — an elegant, cohesive transformation.
