One of the issues that divides David and me in our search for our future home is wood paneling. I am generally for it, if it's in good condition; David is generally against it. I don't mind it if it looks like this:

But David would rather it not be there at all.
I grew up with wood paneling -- pecky cedar paneling -- in our ranch house. It smelled great, but was full of these big naturally occurring holes that lizards liked to crawl in and out of while my siblings and I were sitting on the couch watching after-school cartoons. The lizards were huge, practically dragon-sized compared to the little lizards that I see in Houston. Come to think of it, I don't think I've seen ANY lizard in Houston that is larger than all the lizards that crawled in and out of our family room walls.

I'm with you on the paneling. i love it. Feels cozy and cabin-like.
I saw a sign near UH advertising a house for $48,000. I'm sure it's very charming.
i tend to side with david on this issue, though i do like the kind you described from your house growing up.
however, paneling should not make or break a decision about a house. paneling can be removed, or painted.
