I grew up in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York State and everyone used knotty pine. I am moving into a new home and I can't find affordable knotty pine cabinets anywhere. Sigh. I would love to find some cabinets that someone was removing.

The front room is gorgeous real wood paneling and the dining room used it as wainscoating. I wish there were a little less of it in the dining room, because it's asymmetrical and it makes the room look short, but it's nothing that the right paint color can't balance out. There is pink paint and pink tile EVERYWHERE in the bathrooms and that will eventually go.<br /><br />I don't think I'll ever touch the wood paneling in this house. Ironically, I did paint the terrible 70s and 80s paneling in the first house I ever lived in, because it wasn't real wood and looked so horribly cheap. There is definitely a difference in quality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673220276948215440.post-26743594491683494912013-03-06T07:34:40.414-06:002013-03-06T07:34:40.414-06:00Just desiгe to say your article is as astonishіng....Just desiгe to say your article is as astonishіng.<br />The clearness in your post is just eхсellent and i could assume <br />уou're an expert on this subject.

The current owners left the knotty pine in the kitchen, and the pink bathroom. They took out the carpet (which is probably a good thing), but they painted over the rest of the knotty pine in the house. So sad about that, it was gorgeous wood. Maybe it can be stripped and salvaged, I found some behind other panelling in my kitchen, but it was too damaged to restore, or it would have been done.cmtiggernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673220276948215440.post-42317976961571402502012-03-31T20:55:26.955-05:002012-03-31T20:55:26.955-05:00ugh. i hate all people. always. wood paneling is a...ugh. i hate all people. always. wood paneling is amazing. i'm actually scouting locations for photo shoots because they have paneling. it's so fun and sort of vintage-y. those AP folks sure do have a lot of opinions.BEESTLYproductshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00048625047273159480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673220276948215440.post-351016071055439672012-03-30T12:50:00.461-05:002012-03-30T12:50:00.461-05:00This made me laugh so hard.

I know this because the Kmart price tags were still on the backs of some of the pieces, something I noticed when I tore them out. <br /><br />Honestly...the plastic, fake version was pretty fugly, and we couldn't even paint over it. There was no beauty to it, unlike real wood paneling. So down it came, replaced with drywall. Had it been the real thing, though...My claw marks on the front porch, left when I had to be physically pulled away upon moving, would be even deeper. We nearly bought a home with stunning wood paneling in a couple of the rooms—unfortunately, I'm pretty sure Jimmy Hoffa, the JFK tapes, Godzilla's bride and the real secret of NIMH were buried next door. Alas.<br /><br />I do wonder if, as others have suggested, some of these clearly deeply wounded commenters at AT are confusing the real thing with the plastic stuff from the 70s and 80s. If this is a case, it IS a crisis. They need to see your stunning kitchen, and then they would absolutely change their minds.<br /><br />Or just prove that they are indeed a bit loopy.<br /><br />Hilarious post. People need to calm the heck down. They aren't living there...stay in your greige home and let the rest of us have knotty pine and pink bathrooms!Jenhttp://victoryrollsandv8s.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673220276948215440.post-38104943051257324242012-03-26T18:31:07.672-05:002012-03-26T18:31:07.672-05:00You are hilarious!

I...Your post is fabulous and gave me a good giggle. I love wood paneling and surely it's not for everyone. I guess by some of the ridiculous comments we can tell people are indifferent. I personally grew up (and my parents are still in the same house) in a home with wood paneled walls, wood floors and a lot of wood detailing, including a full wood kitchen like yours (which btw is fantastic looking!). I think people get confused with faux wood panels which are tacky and blah. Real wood is so pretty, we are currently updating our home with more and more wood detail, I got some stares when I told people I loved the wood colored trim over white and we replaced it all with a nice honey colored stain to match our floors. Some people just have no taste ;)Sandi Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05808119407875778790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673220276948215440.post-43123325016449411912012-03-26T13:05:08.581-05:002012-03-26T13:05:08.581-05:00So many comments!

I think the Apartment Therapy comments were just what people do when it comes to fashion - you have to love or hate it, or else there's no fashion, or 'taste' or 'style'. <br /><br />In fact I was doing the same thing only yesterday. I picked up some interiors magazines (secondhand and free) and was amazed at how bland they all were. Everything painted cream or white, and the dullest kind of shabby chic accessories. Just no personality. But probably what a lot of people would like.<br /><br />However, I did have knotty pine panelling in my old house and I didn't like it, because it was done in a botched 1980s fashion, with no sensitivity to the house itself (a 1905 2-up 2-down British terraced house). If I lived in a ranch house it would be different. Anyone seeing your wonderful house would fall in love with pine, I'm sure.<br /><br />As ever, context is everything.Kitsch and Curioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13199950395051649169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673220276948215440.post-40702129831995106612012-03-26T11:52:08.000-05:002012-03-26T11:52:08.000-05:00hahahaha.
