Welcome. Here is a glimpse into what I like to call our "diamond in the ruff" home. The first time I walked through our (now) home, I fell in love. Despite the dated cosmetic details such as brass fixtures and ceiling fans I fell in love with all it's wood floors (over 2,000 sq. ft. of original hardwood floors) and this add-on Master Suite. It's huge, has vaulted ceilings...oh and a TON of pine wood paneling. I was never a fan of the wood paneling. My husband and I joke that we turn the corner walk up the stairs and we are in a log cabin.
The below pic is said Master Suite.
My first thought before we even bought the home was I was going to paint it. Then my mom and mother-in-law begged us not to. "Why would you paint wood?" was their question. I know, I know and maybe in the 70's or 80's it was really nice and classy, but I HATE it! Am I wrong for wanting to paint it?
Below are 10 reasons I should paint. Are you with me?
This room above is just darling after they painted the paneling. Looks so fresh and clean. I am convinced I need to paint my bedroom. But just in case there are some more before/afters below just in case I begin to doubt. 
I found the before/after here. I think that the light paint makes the room larger and brighter.
The room above looks dramatically different in this before/after found here.
I found this (above) before/after here. Even though they didn't change anything else, even the above 70's reasesed light, it looks a 100% better.
I found this before/after here. We have this exact color wood paneling in our Master bedroom, this looks so much better after it's been painted.
Below are staged pics I found via the internet.
