Plank Wood Walls

There is something about the look of plank wood walls that, if done right, can make a home transcend it's place and time.  Be careful, though - when done badly, it can end up looking like a 1970's garage conversion.  I immediately fell in love with this first photo, which I found at My Favorite and My Best.  The rest of the photos were stashed away in my dream file.  How many of you live with plank wood on the walls?  Do you love it or do you long for smooth plaster?
