The Family Room Trauma

Photos taken after closing but before moving. You see paneling, wood strips all over the walls, textured plaster over the drywall, wood beams. It looked like a hunting lodge. In fact, the previous owners did have a deer head mounted to the right of the fireplace. We are deer friendly folks and needed the hunting theme gone! :) Our plan was to remove paneling - crossing our fingers that there was drywall behind it, sand the walls, paint and then move on to the kitchen.
