Oh, I love that! Do you think the walls are painted or stained? It looks fabulous … I’m normally a wood purist, but I’d choose the second one, no question. Love the furnishings, too, great looking room!

What an imaginative, wonderful transformation! I love it! And, yes yes, the furnishings are perfect!

It looks very nice. I love the furnishings in it too and looks like they extended the windows down some as well. The paint treatment on the walls looks like it is wood stain in the picture, but since no knots are visible I'm assuming that it is paint. They certainly kicked the room up several notches and made the materials look very intentional.

Nice! I've long liked the look of painted wood paneling.

I am wondering if they did a tinted stain or maybe a very watered down paint and then stain.

Changing windows, adding another window plus light fixture, didn't hurt either

I'm with Funky, I do not like the wall color. Whitewashing the ceiling, sure...I'm not a fan of being surrounded 360 by wood. But I don't find the wall color at all appealing.

I love it. Even the green walls.

Fori, I personally dont mind the walls but I absolutely understand having an immediate, visceral dislike of a color. I had the same reaction to the Ben Moore color Baby Turtle, which to me looked like three day old bird poop!

Considering how difficult it is to truly cover knots on that type of paneling, I would think that's full on paint, not a wash or stain on the ceiling and walls in the after pic. Can't really tell if it's the photo or if there is some kind of mottling paint finish going on with the walls but they don't look as one dimensional as the ceiling. Overall I think it's an improvement, but I do love earthy green colors. The ceiling IMO is ok but way too clean/bright for the walls and windows but that could be lighting for the photo. So hard to tell in these types of things.

Ok, it’s the Edison Bungalow in Montauk … limewash:

.

There are lots of articles about it if anyone wants to see the other rooms.

Could not live with that stain but I like it for someone else’s house. Like the overall result.

I really like the stain color. However, I favor greens in most shades particularly muted.

My former living room had a similiar color to it on the walls. It was such a bright space with so many windows I needed to try and make it cozy.

The color is a quite off in the second photo as the ceiling was not even close to being that orange and the walls were more subtle and muted.

This photo was when we moved in and had not done any decorating. However, it is more representative of the actual colors

orange and the walls were more subtle and muted.

Not enough black to ground the patterns and texture.

Really it's the sofa. Who ever put white chairs in a tree house.

At first I disliked this, then loved it, and now I'm not sure. I have knotty pine ceiling and a couple walls in our cabin. I painted the walls a really white white from their previous beigey and it helped a ton. I like the white ceiling and greying out the beams. We've talked about doing that to our beams as well.

My daughter lives in a wood paneled cottage in the forest. Walls, vaulted ceilings, beams, everything. When she first moved in she swore she would paint the walls white. I told her to think long and hard about it because there would be no going back. The walls (and ceiling) remain wood. Her walls are covered in art and photos and there are lots of windows. I think it would have been a mistake to paint the wood.

Elizabeth Campbell, whoever indeed. My daughter also has white leather dining chairs in her "tree house." They worked great in lofts in SF and LA, and, because they're somewhat classic, they look great in the cabin in the woods. Who knew such a thing?

Bunny, that sounds like a heavenly place!!

If you happen to have any photos I would LOVE to see them!

I would like that green wall color in solid paint, but not a stain. that room is gorgeous!

aktillery9 we have a ceiling like your former living room. I love how versatile it is. the house was staged similar to how you decorate, but we chose to go mid century instead (the house was built in 1955). wood ceilings can make a room dark, so I'm grateful ours was painted a lighter color:

Sounds like ya'll need to check out Youtube Sarah Richardson and see what she did with her "Contemporary Chalet"...even her own off the grid series she LOVES LOVES LOVES to paint/stain/white wash paneling.

I love natural wood, but much prefer the room after painting/limewashing the ceiling and walls, and changing the windows! That’s a great color green/moss. :) Before painting, it looked too much like a giant sauna. I have one bedroom with a paneled wall that I’ve never liked… if limewash would do the trick, I’d be all over it. lol!
