Painting Paneling

Cindy Hagemann
by Cindy Hagemann
We bought a house built in the 1960's that was full of paneling! First we primed everything using Kilz primer and then Behr paint. I painted the entire house a pale yellow to add color, brightness and update it.
This is the living room BEFORE
Another photo of the living room BEFORE
Living room AFTER we painted the paneling - what a difference! I painted the built in shelves a different color to make the pop!
Another AFTER photo - similar to the one above. The room is bright and cheery!

    Wonderful job . I detest paneling. IMO, it only looks good if it's the real thing - and in the libraries of old English manors or French chateaus! LOL
