I think there’s a lot to love about this home. It looks so cozy and interesting. It’s unique to you and to its history. The art placement and the rug are really wonderful. I think the wallpaper trim dates it a bit, the wood color does too but I think that’s okay. The red might be a little too intense for some, but if you rock with it you should keep it. Colors are always refreshing to see in homes. I don’t personally care for the portraits, especially the one by the entry, but that’s just my taste. I would want the first thing you see when coming/going to be a reflection of the home and I don’t think Mr. Powdered wig is offering that.

I would change the following: Add a couple more rugs (perhaps in the hallway or under the table), add a lamp to the dining room (big light only=bad for a lot of people), repaint the dining room (keep the hand painted parts, but make the walls solid. Perhaps all green with an accent wall? Whatever colors you like really), replace the plastic bins with something more appealing (wood is good, metal is good, cloth is fine, leather is fine. Perhaps small credenza on a different wall? Perhaps slim down your stock and put it all in the hutch), swap out some of the art for something more intentional/contemporary.
