This 1889 home in Milwaukee, Wisconsin is the consummate Gothic Victorian. A lot of the decor is uniquely DIY, which makes it interesting, to say the least. 3bds, 3ba, $439,900.
The original doors in the entrance hall were given a couple of coats of shiny black paint.
The stairs were trimmed in gray and it looks like they stripped and refinished the railings.
This reception room has an original fireplace and pocket doors.
I can't say that the built-in cabinet it original, b/c it's a very different style. It looks like an old farm piece and the owners used a crackle paint finish to make it look chippy.
This middle room is 2 stories high, has a balcony, and the owners added some architectural salvage molding pieces. It also appears that the stone on the corner fireplace was replaced.
This is the ceiling in the room.
Old pocket doors missing hardware were given a distressed finish and the dining room ceiling is like a bronze/brown.
The kitchen reno is completely DIY, made with architectural salvage pieces.
Look at all the things.
It's very creative and look at how they fit the ovens into that green piece.
In the powder room they found a very different style door to fit the pocket.
On the 2nd floor, I'm not sure if this open room is supposed to be a bedroom, but it does look like one.
The hole in the ceiling exposing the window above may be the result of a new ceiling. That gives it a very unique feature.
There's a washer/dryer up here, and a kitchenette unit. Notice all the ceiling light fixtures.
I like the color scheme of this bedroom and the wall was taken down to make an open en-suite.
Interesting arched ceiling in the bath and that's some piece they chose for the sink.
So much in this home has been reconfigured. You can tell that the walls are new. So, this is the turret.
At the base of the rear stairs there's a newly configured nook.
This open room has been turned into a bath with a sauna.
This is quite the large bath.
It actually looks like most of the attic is bathroom.
At first glance I thought that this was a hot tub, but it appears to be some sort of platform or stage.
The basement's very big, has some creepy-ish gray stone walls, and lots of fun potential.
The exterior gothic architecture on this house is stunning.
The yard is fenced, but it needs landscaping. 4,791 sq. ft. lot

I really admire B’s faith in me because the man questions literally nothing I do to our house. And any time I try to get his input on home design related things he’s like “I know I’ll like anything you come up with and also do you remember the apartment I lived in for a decade until you moved in with me?” And that’s fair.
So, this morning, when he walked in on me painting the bedroom wall black, he just offered to help.
When I asked if he wanted to come to Home Depot with me to pick up a bunch of wood?
He sure did.
Did he ask why?
No he did not.
Did he express concerns about the compressor and nail gun I borrowed from our friend down the block?
He sure didn’t.
The man just vibes and offers to help sand or paint or hold things until a project is finished and then tells me he loves it and he had no doubts through the (admittedly sometimes concerning!) process. Amazing.
Anyway, I’m building a slat wall/headboard for our bed and my husband is great.

Make shelves for the front of the screen from leftover plywood... Apply veneer tape to the edges of the shelves, if desired. Stain or paint the shelves or cover them with fabric. Support the shelves on shelf brackets, use a level when you are mounting the brackets. Attach full-length mirrors to the end panels.
