Should we lighten 153-year old wood walls?

Hello Everyone! My husband and I absolutely love the 153-year old farmhouse that we just purchased. The large foyer and parlor feature custom pine carvings throughout the walls and ceilings. The work is absolutely gorgeous. It's also very dark. I've been considering options to lighten up the spaces, but additional lamps or light-colored rugs just don't seem to be enough. Should we consider white-washing or bleaching this beautiful wood?
