If you'd like some texture on the wall - try this. Before painting, hot glue cotton cord or rope bwtween the "panels" - where each groove is - then paint. Great idea for family or rec room.

Thank you, everyone, for your very nice comments. Your kind words help inspire me to keep going and continue covering all the other tacky paneling in my house!

Thank you! This is what I've been trying to tell my husband and not getting the picture across! I really like your idea of matching the paint to the comforter.
I painted over blondish paneling in my guest room years ago, but have been hesitant to try it on the darker paneling!

Hey Paula! Your bedroom looks beautiful. I have seen paneling being painted on the home improvement shows. It is much faster and cheaper than trying to take it down and repairing the wall.
I'll bet you're really enjoying your new room!

When re-doing my parents house, also frond the late 50's - we chose to paint the blondish paneling with a white wash - which made it look "pickled" and matt and quite fashionable!

My house built in 70's was all wood paneling and it has all been removed and dry wall behind it was repaired and painted. It took us 2 years to do it all but the results were worth it. good luck from Nova scotia canada. The wood paneling is a fire hazard as well!!

I live in a house that was built in 1957, apparently when tacky wood paneling was in style; and after fifty years it has only gotten uglier! I can't afford to remove the paneling and drywall, so for a quick fix of color I decided to prime and paint.
