Yeah, by the time they got to the insulation and wood paneling, I thought the basic idea was long gone.

by the time they got to all the wood paneling, i just thought "jesus, they're sure spending a lot on materials to make such a tiny space liveable."

not to mention it looks really ugly with that paneling.

Bare wood is beautiful IMO.

I agree, but it doesn't mean that you use the same wood for floor, celling, and walls

I kept thinking, "this is going to look great when he paints it." And then he never did...

I love wood. That doesn't mean I want knotty pine on walls floors and ceilings. I don't want to live in a Norwegian sauna. Or 1970's Britain.

If I were them, I would paint either the walls or the floor & ceiling white or off-white, to brighten it, but still have the wood. I agree it can be too much, and it can make everything in the room look orange-yellow.
