I have a wall of paneling in my living room that I painted the same colour as the rest of the room then painted every second stripe with varathane so it's shiny. Looks like really expensive wallpaper that matches my paint exactly.
Is it horrible that I kind of like it? Not the top one, but the bottom. I could see the bottom one looking really nice if it came halfway up the wall in a white room with very clean and modern interior design.I have a wall of paneling in my living room that I painted the same colour as the rest of the room then painted every second stripe with varathane so it's shiny.

That is indeed paintable - and does look as fantastic with a coat of paint (in whichever colour you'd like) as it looks cheap (cigar-box'y) without
I think all places where they put that sort of panelling up in the seventies they painted it white during the eighties
It's the other way 'round with this sort of panelling:
Where it looks a bit tacky if you paint it over with a solid colour.
That seems very interesting. There is no such thing where I live.Governmental/public housing for low income people. I have a three bedroom house which I share with my sons. Roughly speaking, rent is 1/4 of household income. I pay $233 a week for a house for which the full market rental has been determined to be $320 a week.

Update on my ungrade
Got a phonecall yesterday. They are starting work on the bathroom on Monday. It will take around 5 days.
I will take before, during and after photos to show you.
^The tiles (toilet) scare me. I hope the new bathroom will be spectacular
