in which Youngest's room is famous
Look!
I wrote to Apartment Therapy!
And not only did they post my question, but "they" don't like knotty pine either.
We cannot even tell you how excited we are.

Knotted pine kitchen cupboards is why we installed a new kitchen. With white cupboards.
Good luck w/ Youngest's room! I'll be watching.

We finally moved...left the issue unresolved because everyone seemed aghast when I suggested a change...*You AREN'T going to PAINT OVER THAT NATURAL WOOD, are you?*
I knew I should have painted it.
And all that effort painting it and it still being the same thing underneath would just shit me to tears.
Either that or I could find some way of blaming my mum for it's very creation if you like.
Oy, but the comment about the humidifier and melting walls scares me.
How about that Ralph Lauren paint with sand in it to effect a sueded plank look? And painting it will have a Mark-Eden-Bust-Developing pectoral muscle benefit! I helped my seester paint a room with it, and it was rather like moving waves of cement across the wall. But nice when completed.
On further reflection, won't you have to use Kilz or something to strip lacquer or varnish first prior to painting? This is sounding toxic!
If you fly me out there, I'll paint it for you.
Our first house was really a summer cabin that had been winterized and added onto. The entire first floor was panelled in knotting pine - including the ceiling. It was gorgeous in the winter and very atmospheric. In the summer, blech. I could never convince Mr. Pom to paint the main areas, but we did paint the kitchen and sunroom. It looks beautiful painted, very rich and substantial.
To paint is to live!
