And one more question - this time on wood paneling . . . .

And here is one more question from the 1970's Time Warp house.  The hallway to the bedroom side of the house and two of the 4 bedrooms is paneled with a dark wood paneling.  The paneling is is amazingly good condition - no gouges, splinters or even damage to the high gloss finish.

The question is how dated does this make the house look?  Flooring will be replaced, ceiling fans added to the bedrooms . . . . do you think the wood paneling woudl work with an updated design?  If not, what thoughts do you have on painting it - it has a high gloss finish so not sure if latex paint will stick without some preparation- possibly oil based Kilz.

A few photos of part of the hallway and one of the bedrooms is shown below so you can see what we are dealing with.

Appreciate any input or thoughts on options . . .be they painting of any other suggestions

Thanks again!
