To strip or not to strip? Wooden paneling
Comments (14)I personally think you should keep it painted. It would be a terrible job to get the paint off and maybe you will never get it right again if it all goes wrong. You will have to know what you are doing before you start that job. Take a look at these pics, maybe you could get some ideas from them. To make a room feel cosy and warm make sure you have interlined luxury fabric curtains as a starter. In the green pic, I'm thinking shades to match your suite, disregarding the ceiling obviously! I happen to like the gold too....See MoreIs wall panelling hot or not?
Comments (10)We were lucky enough to move into a 1930's house ten years ago which had original panelling in the hall, dining room and family room. We loved it then and have made the most of it ever since. We're currently in phase one of a large modernisation project and are keeping the panelling, changing up the colour and extending it in to enhance and complement the new open plan kitchen and dining room area. I'll post photos when we're finished!...See MoreWood wall panelling beading
Comments (3)I have applied wooden beading to plain doors to give them character and it worked really well. I can't imagine it would be difficult to do the same to walls. I used double sided sticky tape to attach them to the doors, but imagine that you'd need to use glue to stick them to the walls. Trickiest part probably will be to get the proportions right. Would suggest you try it out with painters tape first. Mitre the corners of the wood, glue to the walls and paint. Alternatively, there are wallpapers that will give you the panelled look too.

Comments (6)Either undercoat or prime first. Depending on what colour you are after if it's a standard off the shelf colour then most should be suitable - I have always found F&B to offer great coverage and consistency painting both wall and wood. Otherwise I cannot recommend Little Greene enough they have some great colours and paints suitable for wood and walls. Companies like Valspar etc offer more bespoke colour options and can alter the paint base to suit a variety of materials :) Charlie @ The Kitchen Lady UK www.thekitchenladyuk.co.uk...See MoreMalcome A
