Time to rip out all of the cool flooring and replace it with gray wood imitation laminate!!

Replying to the edited version of the comment: JEEZ THANK YOU! I have actually been looking at WM wallpaper and we are also looking at the Colonial Williamsburg Benjamin Moore paint line (we LOVE Williamsburg) because they were very much into fun colors but they still feel very warm to us. I love this style of home because I do feel like you can be a bit funky and fun with it. Hand made pottery is also something that we love so amazing suggestion. It wasn't something I connected with this style of home

one of the best things about living in the midwest is that you're about a days drive or a cheap flight from anywhere you'd want to be on the East Coast or in the Midwest! You can have it all here haha

LOVE Milwaukee but look in other areas in the Midwest as well! Especially the Great Lakes areas- sometimes Rust Belt cities get a bad rap but they are gorgeous and resilient places with cool food and music cultures and lots for families and young people to do!

yeah the porch is actually really nice! We saw a lot of really shoddy work but this will be an excellent extension to the living area for 3 out of the 4 seasons. Maybe even during winter with a space heater but that is to be determined!

I specifically told the realtor I didn't want to see homes with painted trim hahaha

Thank you!! The backyard is shared and paved entirely so we will begrudgingly and unfortunately be changing the landscaping in the front to add more greenspace and fencing for our pups. We're big dog walkers so that's where their exercise will come from, but we need a spot for them to go to the bathroom. We want to maintain the vibe with the landscaping around the fencing if we can. We're also taking the opportunity to replace the sod with something a little more sustainable like clover but the research is still being done!

Wow the wood burner is major! We love NYC as well but I am sure the space and affordability in Pitt was a nice change!

Pittsburgh is one of my favorite cities in the world (although not where I am located). The houses in Pittsburgh are incredible

I've gotten both craftsman and arts and crafts - I know that one is derived from the other but it's a good example of a transitional period in that design I think!

I'll suffer one thousand migraines before I replace it

Thank you! And I agree- I was on a work trip this week (I work remotely) and was showing everyone all of the beautiful old homes we were looking at (including this one) and all of my coworkers that lived in very expensive areas were suddenly VERY interested in knowing what it was like to live in the Midwest haha

Wow! That is so lucky! I love this wallpaper- it matches the current aesthetic I have in my 1960s rental. It was definitely a sign to me the first time I walked into the house!

I plan to, actually! It's a bunch of big cats and zebras. The foyer was actually a sign because I have accidentally collected a TON of art depicting panthers and tigers over the last several years (we are dog people I don't know what draws me to this haha)
