We just painted 2 paneled rooms in our house. The rooms had different paneling, so one room had to have a special primer put on so the knot holes wouldn't seep through after time. The other also got a primer but it was just a regular paint primer. We used Benjamin Moore paint. One room is a pale green (we use it as an office now) and the other, which is our family room, is a great beige/light tan. Here are pictures of the before and after that might help you.

Thank you. Looks great!! Can you send me a pic of the green room? I was thinking green for the color too.

The first 2 of the 4 pictures are of the green room, the time of day that I took the shot doesn't really reflect the green in the room, but if you want to check the true color out, it's Sherwin Williams - Honeydew, #6428. (I initially said that we used Benjamin Moore- but for the office, we used S.W.)
