My son wants me to construct a library wall panel on one wall of his office. The wall is approx. 11'6" long x 8 ft high. The room is presently trimmed with crown molding on all 4 walls. To be clear, to me library paneling is a series of 1x4's arranged in a horizontal and vertical grid to form squares or rectangles. If I'm using incorrect terminology please comment.
My plan is to start at the bottom and lay the 1st horizontal board fastened to the studs. Then lay a course of vertical 1x4's. Rinse & repeat. Does that sound feasible?
My other concern is the crown. All 4 walls are presently crowned. If I pull the crown of the paneled wall, how will that interface with the crown miters on the corner of each side?
Thanks for any help or suggestions.
