AAARRGGHH !!!! Timber Cladding In Kitchen

In a similar situation I ripped all the cladding off and skimmed the surfaces, anything else would have looked tacky. It turned out to be not as bad as I expected but until it is all off you won't be able to tell. I saw the result of painting over the cladding in another house and it did indeed look cr*p - big time cr*p.

I have timber cladding to my Kitchen ceiling , complete with 10 down lighters .The timber is lightly varnished and edged with plaster coving . It looks very neat and tidy . Whats the big deal surrounding timber cladding ?.
