We had a paneled bathroom once. Even the ceiling was paneled with a very light (birch?) paneling. My dad said the paneling was on sale and ended up cheaper than paint. When my ex and I lived in that house it was called "the head office".... only room in the house with paneling.
Pati, > No, paint choice the decision. ANy good woman already knows when to bop
I looked at a rental house once where all through the downstairs the landlady complained about how the last tenents had painted the upstairs all white with dark trim. Made me afraid to see her newly repainted upstairs. I was right to be nervous about it. One bedroom had been dipped in barbie limo pink, right down to the ceiling fan. Two more were done in green, one in flourescent druggie poster green, the other in hospital industrial green with an accent wall in vine and leaf paper, and the last one was done in a rather violent blue. all of the trim was painted the same color as the walls. I almost took it anyway, but then the woman saw my apartment with all of my bookshelves, and paintings and things actually hung on the walls, and refunded my deposit.

My dining room is warm and pleasant blue with bright blue woodwork: goes well with my harlequin red/green/yellow/blue curtains, red chair covers, and green carpet! And it leads into my birch effect kitchen with the same paint scheme and navy marble look work surfaces... I'm still waiting for DH to put up the denim blue Spanish tiles...
My parents moved into a house with a bilious yellow ('Primrose' on the house description!) bathroom suite. Dad painted it LIME GREEN and it toned down the suite beautifully. Didn't do to go in there with a hangover, and my sisters and I never spent hours in their doing out green faces...
The books and paintings sound fairly normal to me... Owner of three thousand plus books, and a painting by a member of the Royal Academy! :)
People!
Well, I put another coat of paint on the walls. It doesn't look too bad. Told DH I will give it a month, and if I don't like it, I was changing it. Got a little bit of grumbles, but not too much. I guess he figures I'll do what I want, especially since he is not doing the painting.
I had a friend to moved into a house where the whole lower level was done in black and dark red. Everything. When I saw it, they had changed everything except the bath. It had red flocked wall paper, black wrought (sp??) iron lighting and black sink, bath tub and toilet. Ugggh! It looked like something out of a dungeon.

Hell to keep looking nice in an area of hard water! A friend of a friend many moons ago had a chocolate and cream bathroom: Chocolate suite, one chocolate wall, chocolate woodwork, dark cork tile floor... Very smart, but took an hour of polishing every day! Not for me! Plain white does me perfectly!
