Yesterday we were blessed to buy a 1940s home! Today in one of the bathrooms we found horizontal wood slats behind some hideous blue butterly panels. I orignally thought that was wallpaper but now I realize it is actually a panel type material. My husband says instead of painting over the paneling why not just take it down and paint the wood slats. I'm afraid of what that really is and if we should do that with the humidity that would be ina bathroom.....
Can someone tell me about this type of wall and what is probably our best bet to do.
THANK YOU
PS We found almost brand new hardwoods under the filthy shag carpeting so I'm so not complaining about this....
