So wood paneling...not so pretty. If could have been worse. At least the previous owners put a coat of white paint to lighten up the otherwise what I would image was a very dark room. However, wood paneling is still wood paneling, and I was thinking we would just leave it until we could rip it down or drywall over it. Yeah, I know that sounds like a lot of work! Sooo we actually went another route, and...
I had no idea wood paneling could look so good! First, for some reason, I thought wood paneling could only look good if it was painted white...and as much as I love white paint, that wasn't really doing it for me! Thankfully my (color-blind) Father-in-law convinced me that we could do a color, or rather two colors since it's a pretty big room.
And, see that little wood end table? I have two of them, actually found them a couple of weeks ago on the curb while my good friend Sarah and I were hunting for some curb-side treasure! They probably have a makeover to look forward to in their future!
It's amazing what a little paint can do :) My parents have a room in their house that has one wall - just one - with wood paneling. They painted it a brown color and it looks pretty good! Thanks for dropping by my blog earlier, following back!

ReplyDeleteI absolutely loved your home tour! I'm looking forward to that book shelf of yours! :D I've been dreaming of a large bookshelf when I grow old, get a place and stuff! :D It would be fun to see how you organize your books!
The paneling looks great! I can't wait to see the room all put together. Oh, and I know what you mean about hanging art...I've been in my house 1.5 years and I still don't like putting holes in my "freshly" painted walls.
