I Think Wood Paneling Is Soothing

I love all the swirls and images one can see in paneling, takes a little imigination, but the images are there. I love paneling also

Yes, real wood is best, to be sure...nothing beats it.

Oh I hate it when it is way over done or the cheap stuff. I think it is great in a homes library or some dens, but real wood and custom finish...

Yes, I am not in love with wood paneling I just think it gets a bum rap...it can't help what it is...thanks for your nice comments, AW.

oooh I agree in certain rooms and great lighting, the Christmas lights I bet are really nice. I really love white washed wood paneling with satin sheen... or even a color wash of another type and even the good old mahogany or walnut, it'a all about the room and lighting...

Thanks, mdm. I knew that because you are a good friend.

((((((((((((mdm)))))))))))))

BM, that's exactly why I commented.

that would have been a cool job, Max. I used to live in a place that had a cool little upper room that had real wood walls and ceiling; it was nice. Thanks for commenting :-)

wood paneling is awesome. the fake stuff used to have to be drawn on I imagine. Can you imagine having a job drawing wood grain? Nowadays I'm sure they just photograph it, throw it into a big printer and sell it.

Hey Thanks, MDM! The patterns really are kind of cool to escape into-if you look long enough you can see many different things. I wrote the story as a response to someone starting the "wood paneling is ugly" group because I thought it was kind of elitist-we all know us poor folks use the most wood paneling. Like, say, if I had invited this person to my house after they wrote this story, I would have felt really self conscious.

Thanks for commenting :-)

I thought this story was pretty cool...

yes, it is definitely a comfort. Thanks for commenting, HINB.

Yes, I have seen textured paint, Split, but never faces in it...interesting-I'll have to take a closer look next time I am away from my wood paneling...thanks for stopping by :-)



XO!

HA I do the same thing with textured paint... find all these faces and patterns in it.

Interesting. I cannot stand the stuff myself, unless it's painted white and i've never heard anyone say what you did before.
