Paneling- to paint or not?

Do you like paneling?

not my room-same color

I have never been such a fan of dark wood paneled walls-

unless of course I have an estate in horse country -

but I don't

I live in a 1960 built colonial

and I have a den paneled in dark wood-

I've lived here for 17 years-

17 years looking at an ugly room-

but my hubby loves it-

I've turned it into a golf den 'cuz it's such a man looking room

(if you know what I mean!)

he doesn't get involved in home decorating at all

but he has a thing for wood-

you know, it's a guy thing..

funny thing is-

I love painted paneling

so...

I'm working on it

hoping I can do some major convincing

and I can do some heavy duty painting

 during my summer vacation-

fingers crossed!

Gotta fly-
