The House Tour Continues: Living Room with Wood Paneling! YIKES!

 

  

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.

We choose two colors next to each other on the paint chip sample - Classic and Country Club. They are very similar - many people don't even notice we have two different colors! Can you tell in this next picture?!

  

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!

Wow - it works, right?! I don't even think the wood paneling looks that outdated anymore. This, I can live with! :)

And I love my new desk. I plan on doing many crafts here, and I can still chill with my hubby while he watches TV. It's actually very organized, you should be proud :)

 

  

Well, there you have it! :) I like it. We still need a bookshelf, and I still have it in the back of my mind that I need to put legs on that TV stand, I know it looks funny...but it's been so long, it's easy to just put it off! We just started putting some pictures up on the wall and I need to do some more decorating, but it kinda makes me nervous putting holes in our "new" walls!
