Well... We bought this house 6 years ago. In all the houses we looked at,
we never saw any paneling.

When husband was going to finish off the back house...he never did and
probably never will...it was recommended that he put up beadboard in lieu of
wallboard. Is beadboard considered paneling? Probably.

At any rate, I have never seen any paneling that I liked.
