Comments (1)I would paint it the same color as your other trim....See MoreShould I paint real wood paneling?
Comments (16)Paint it! I painted over 40 yr old yellow pine in a SW cream color (can't recall the color sorry) and it had a cottage look and was beautiful, didn't reget it at all. Agreed, the valances look a bit outdated, I would remove them. Love your plantation blinds, they're a keeper!...See MoreShould I paint this wood block paneling and what floor do you suggest?
Comments (2)The wood paneling appears to be quality, if so, it deserves a Pro cleaning. After having it cleaned, I would suggest a porcelain travertine lookalike, in a warm shade to complement the paneling. Paint the cabinet if need be...not the paneling. Porcelain is a snap to keep clean...vacuum and use a cheap floor steamer. I have two dogs, 200 pounds and 125 pounds, so I speak from experience....See MoreWhat color should we paint wood paneling in family room ?
Comments (25)NO to painting the fireplace. Look at it. See how deep the mortar joints are? Those joints will always be dark because they are recessed, so you will end up with a checkerboard grid that looks awful. Plus, it will be very tedious to paint those joints. Plus, plus, the joints are simply dust catchers. If you had normal joints, it would be different--you'd have a subtle variation in texture. This will look like a huge mistake. See the difference in this photo. Finally: That paneling is surely applied over wallboard. It probably pops off with little trouble leaving wallboard with a few small holes in it from the short paneling nails. Easy to patch and will look better than painted paneling (which, IMHO, is a very mobile home look)....See MoreKelly Jones
