Old cheap stained wood paneling on a wall can make a room look dark and dated. Instead of taking down the paneling (who knows what you are going to find or what damage you are going to make), consider painting the wood paneling to freshen up the room. Here are some tips and tricks for painting wood paneling. CleanStart by cleaning your paneling so you can really see what you have. Clean the wood paneling with soap and water to remove all dust, cobwebs, and dirt. Make sure to remove any greasy or oily stains (original blue Dawn dish soap might work well). RepairUsing wood putty, fill in any nail holes or cracks that have developed. If desired, you can use spackle to fill in the grooves to disguise the paneling and make the wall look smooth. SandUsing a pole sander or sanding block, lightly sand the wood paneling with medium or fine grit sandpaper to rough up the surface. If you don't sand, the paint may not stick to the wood paneling and all of your hard work will look worse than if you didn't paint it. Do not sand too much or use a coarse grit sandpaper, which might damage the wall. You can use an electric sander with a medium to fine grit sandpaper is you have a lot of wood paneling to paint. CleanWipe down your wood paneling with a tack cloth or slightly damp cloth to remove all sanding dust. Whatever dust stays on the wall will get stuck in the paint, so ensure that you remove all of the dust. Make sure the wall is completely dry before proceeding. TapeUsing painters tape, tape off any areas that you do not want to paint - such as adjacent walls, the floor, a fireplace, and the ceiling. See the article.....Painter's Tape Tips & Tricks: Achieve Flawless Lines in Your Next Painting Project. PrimeUsing a paint roller and a brush, paint the walls using a high quality primer to create a good base coat for the paint to adhere to. Roll on the primer in as many places as you can since rolling takes less time. Brush on the primer in spots that the roller can't reach. PaintOnce the primer has dried, paint the walls with an even top coat of your desired paint. You will probably need 2 coats of paint for a smooth finish. Make sure to use the highest quality paint in your budget for the best quality finish that will resist fading and be more durable. SealerDecide whether you want to add a protective sealer on top of your painted paneling. If you use a high quality paint, this might not be necessary. If you have children, pets, or other people who tend to rub or bump against your walls, consider coating your painted paneling with a polyurethane to protect it.

Our Master Bedroom makeover has made allot of progress. All of the construction type projects are finally complete (yeah!). The project is taking a bit longer than I had thought it would. But then again, I think projects always take longer than we expect! We have recently finished the Faux Wood Panel Wall, installation of 6" baseboards and we've painted the room a light silver sage color. I wanted a wood plank/panel wall to add texture and architectural interest in the room. Being that wood is very expensive these days. I came up with a way to get the look of expensive tongue and groove paneled walls, but without the high cost! This wood panel wall cost only $44 and a bit of DIY labor. Here is how we achieved the high end look on a tight budget. We bought four utility grade 4' x 8' sheets of underlayment ply (thin plywood) from Home Depot for only $11.17 each. It took four sheets to do this wall. My hubby is a Veteran (Marine Corp.) so we got a 10% discount, which covered our tax and took a few cents off too. So the wood wall only cost $44... I love a bargain!!! We had Home Depot cut the panels into 6" wide planks for us. Cutting/ripping wood is a free service that Home Depot does, which made our job so so so much easier!!! The boards being eight feet tall were perfect for our bedroom walls since our upstairs ceilings are exactly eight feet tall. The thickness of the boards is less than 1/4 inch. We used a piece of a cut board to create the spacing between the wood planks on the wall. We used our nail gun to adhere the planks to the wall. Board after board we went across the wall until we were finished. My husband, Jim cut around the windows and electrical sockets with a jigsaw. I of course made him go up and down the stairs each and every cut because I didn't want a bunch of dust in the house... and luckily he didn't complain! This board is fairly easy to cut since it is thin. Here is what the finished wall looks like after being painted in a light silver sage color. The color inspiration came from the Restoration Hardware paint line. I love how the finished wood wall looks! Next I will be putting a collage of vintage mirrors and/or frames on this wall. I will play with them a bit until I decide what looks best. This next picture I took with the panorama feature on my new iPhone 5. I love how I can get the entire room in one picture (so cool)! This picture shows our progress so far. There are still several things to do in order to complete the bedroom makeover. We have already gotten curtains from Ikea for the large window wall. I need to hem, iron and then hang them. The armoire and bookshelves need to be painted and distressed. We need to make and upholster the two headboards. Also I have two pendant fixtures to make that will be going on the outer edge of the beds. Although we finally have the room construction projects completed, we now have a bunch of furniture projects to do. I will share each project with you as we progress... I do need your help with one thing... I am looking for just the right bed linens. I am thinking duvet covers, tailored dust ruffles and shams in a high thread count. Probably in white, like most finer hotels have. What do you think? I'd love to hear your opinions and ideas. Thanks a bunch! Diana
