Is someone you love suffering from the unfounded belief that painting wood paneling is a crime? Have your efforts to convince them otherwise fallen on deaf ears for too long? I can help. Evidence A: this adorable girl’s room makeover by Abby. White, bright, and full of light! If ever there was a case to be made for painting wood paneling, this is it. Would this room be nearly as child-friendly and full of whimsy without it? I submit that it would not!
Lots more to see in this room (including a secret passage! Ok, so it only goes into the closet, but still cool) over on Abby’s blog Chapter 37.

Doesn’t even look like the same place.
We painted the paneling in our entire lake home… from dark & dreary to light & happy….
Thanks for sharing…

September 9, 2013 at 4:57 PMThank you so much Lindsey! Would you believe people I know have said I should leave all the wood alone in this house?! Nothing will convince some people. =)

September 10, 2013 at 5:55 AMSo cute!!! I’m all for painting paneling! 🙂 Also, may I add a little constructive criticism to bloggers from a reader…it’s beginning to get hard seeing all your wonderful details of your rooms when the light filtering is on high (I don’t know the terminology). I know you want it to appear as light and bright as possible, but when I have to adjust my monitor (and sometimes where sunglasses -haha), I believe there is too much filter going on. Out of all the photos I’ve seen in blog-land recently, these photos are pretty good (maybe just a little on the bright side). That is all! Thank you!!! 😀 Love love love this room though!!
