What should I do to a yellow pine wall?

After Hurricane Michael, I was able to salvage yellow pine flooring to replace the bead board walls. Should I just clean the walls or paint? Will it be "too country" to leave as is?

    If it was my house I would just paint the paneling. It would sort of act like bead board.

    Sand it down and bleach the wood (look online for the process) the room will reflect light and look cleaner.

    Eliza we have started that process in the master bedroom. It too is floor to ceiling pine, too dark. Still see some of the shine from the old poly, so got to hit it again. Bleached a couple of times as well.
