How to bring out the wood?

This maybe an odd request.
This is a wall in my "soon to be" house. We close at the end of the month.
The wall behind the massive brick fireplace seems to be pallet wood. It is a bit rough. Done on the diagonal. Someone has "white washed" this wall and all the brick in/on the house. My guess is it's the same "builders beige" that every surface is painted.

We would like to make that wall show off that it is wood planked. We were talking about just painting it darker, but is it possible to dry brush some paint on it to bring out the planks?
Or a watered down paint to highlight it?

This is the family room, well actually it'll be the "man room".

Suggestions on how to tackle this with paint?
