The Killing of Wood Paneling

I have this super ugly wood paneling in the den. It is so 70's and it makes me depressed every time I have to look at it. My handyman had a left-over drywall from the work he was doing in my guest room. So I decided to rip the wood paneling off one wall and let the handyman put the drywall there. It required a little bit of my muscle power to take the wood panelings off. For the rest of the walls in the den, I have to come up with some clever solutions. I cannot afford to drywall the whole room. Stay tuned.

Update:
I ended up painting the rest of the wall. Here are After pictures.
