I have a large wool flat-weave rug with a busy Moroccan pattern that is just too dark. Is there any way I can “whitewash” it – the effect I would like is actually to make it look whitewashed and much more pale..
Watered-down paint? watered-down bleach? What would Hildi from Trading Spaces do (without having something that peels off or cannot be vacuumed)?

whitewash paint
Hi,I did the following:,In the blog: painting wooden furniture & buy furniture paint.
Q&A–: How do I paint over 1970′s fake wood paneling?
Our new house has a very dark family room because of that thin fake wood paneling. I’d like to paint over it.

Do I have to prime it? Use any special brush? Should I whitewash instead?

Anyone have pictures of a successful paint job?

Thanks for the help!!

Answer by Peter
I would clean the surface with TSP, prime with Kilz oil-based primer, and paint as usual. A 3/8″ or 1/2″ nap roller should suffice.

Toothbrush.

Answer by T-tom
It won’t look great but ,yeah ,you can paint it.
And although I usually think primer on interior jobs is unnecessary, in the case of paneling I would recommend it , on account of its “slick” finish.
If it has those “grooves” in it you could use drywall putty , and sand flat.Then prime.

Answer by Tigger
Use a compound to fill in the lines in the paneling, then sand it down after it dries. After that, you will indeed want to prime it.

After that, have fun with the paint!

I painted my paneling last summer. It was an awful DO DO brown. I used a Kiltz primer, then I painted. I didn’t use putty to fill in the lines, I just painted as is. I painted a lighter color and I really makes the room look brighter. The light color is such an improvement until I don’t recognize the lines, just a brighter room.
I have had one area to chip, but this is where the recliner hits the wall and my five year old constantly knocks the reclinere into the wall. I simply painted over that area with the same paint and it looks fine.
Ultimately, I will sheet rock each wall, but painting was a quick and inexpensive fix.

You must put a base coat on first. you need this especially if the paneling is shiney

Answer by Ryan M K H
In order for 70s wood panels to look like a normal plaster wall, you first need to seal the fake gaps. This can be done by applying an acrylic based filler. Make sure it is acrylic, otherwise it will just fall apart when you sand it. If you are really good at filling in the gaps you might not need to sand it, as unlike other filler, acrylic goes on smooth.
Because the panel is smooth veneered, you don’t need to prime it. You need to however pick a paint that bonds well similar to those you use to paint bricks. If you go to a good hardware store, they should be able to provide you with the right product. Good luck.

I painted over some paneling in my grandma’s old house. I tried the oil primer, but that just caused such a mess. I ended up just painting over it without using primer first and it looked great! It was just at the base of a wall, so I didn’t mind the grooves still being there.

Answer by igotquestions
use compound to fill in the lines. just put a blob at the top and use your spacaling tool and run it all the way down the line. its shouldnt make to much of a mess but wipe the sides then.

doesnt have to be perfect, just smooth

then get your roller and brush and YES it will need primer…you can go with out the primer but for some reason after a while to wood look shows through

so then …. after you primer paint it any color you want.

and if you dont wanna go through all that trouble (because it is a long process)

just primer the walls and then paint

maybe you can even get fancy and paint 2 one color and paint the next 2 another. maybe some warm nutral colors??

i think it would even look nice on just one wall…the one you see right when you enter the room as more of a fancy focal point and then do the other walls a solid color.
