Moira Wright and Joseph Wilson
As a PR executive for Holt Renfrew, Wright owns an envious collection of Céline and Hermès—pieces of art in and of themselves—and Wilson, founder and president of Photostar, has many of his own photographs exhibited in their Wychwood Park house. There’s no question this is a stylish couple. But the real stars are their kids, eight-year-old Max and six-year-old Henry, whose toys and artwork are everywhere. The couple’s favourite piece? A 30-foot-long installation by their kids on white computer paper that runs the length of a living room wall, which they refer to as their Guernica.

I’m sorry….what does this have to do with their house? All I see are pictures of earrings and clothing. Worst article ever.
Maybe you should rename this section cause people who are really interested in design and house style open this and see just a bunch of high-end items placed in creepy spots, looks more like a show off or just as the style of their house is not worth showing
And yet another misleading headline. This is not remotely about a house, it’s randomly placed stuff. This is so far beyond boring!
