[quote=Anonymous]You probably will have a couple of issues. The wood most likely has some type of smooth, hard finish (such as polyurethane). The finish is really smooth, so paint will easy chip off. Also, there tends to be oil/grease built up on the wood that keeps the paint for adhering. I would go over the wood lightly with sand paper to rough up the surface and clean with a TSP solution to remove any oil. then you patch any deep scratches and prime and paint. Be ready, however, for cracks in the winter because the wood will dry and shrink more than the dry wall. I would match the wood wall to the other walls. The remaining grain adds some nice visual effect. You may want a different color for the mantle to work with the fireplace.[/quote]
