As they say paint is a cheap but great fix. Looks great!

Been looking forward to seeing the reveal after you painted the paneling. Wow, what a difference. Please keep showing your progress, I love home improvement.

Just paint. It was supposed to be one coat paint, but it took two. Used five gallons!

It looks totally different with the light color! What a wonderful sewing and craft area you have. I really enjoyed the stories about the sewing machines. Enjoy your new home and space!

The paint put in a sunny mood from that dark panel! It looks so wonderful! I'm very happy for you Krystyna and your family also. You've all gone through so much and you deserve this! Can't wait to see more pics when you have the chance and energy to do so. This is a lot of work but you'll look back with a great smile! Perseverance pays off!
