1930's Semi, is wood paneling in hall worth keeping?

[Compact]

Gutting my 1930's Semi and unsure of wood paneling in hallway.

I'm not sure it's 100% authentic, but it seems as though it's been there a long time.
For: Painted white then off white, could be interesting, better than plain wall
Against: Might not be to all tastes, I could insulate inside of outside wall as only have second skin.

So thoughts?
I am very much 50/50 on it
(hopefully these flickr links will come out)

I live in a 30s semi that has been unsympathetically modernised - every single original feature ripped out - and I can't tell you how jealous I am of your house!

I agree with the others who say keep the panelling. I like the original dark wood but would find it hard to live with, so vote for painting it a pale colour - either off-white or a pale grey. I also love the front door.

I agree that 30s homes are becoming the new Victorian. If I'm honest, I do prefer my neighbours' Edwardian houses (I love a high ceiling) but they're out of my price range so am enjoying the benefits of what I do have (like loads of light, and a big garden). I'm enjoying thinking about how to put some of the character back into our home without going all 30s fetishist (and because I can't afford any major overhaul) - like original 30s door handles.

The main loss, though, is that we no longer have a proper hallway - the previous occupants knocked it through, so you enter straight into the living room via a small uPVC porch. I would kill for a panelled hallway like yours
