I'm about to renovate a room a make it into a library. I want it to have
"old
english" -style wood panels. Where can I buy panels that I can apply
myself?


If it was a real library-room, all the available wall space would be
covered with shelves, cabinets, and drawers, anyway, and you'd
be asking about how to beef up the floors so that the
building doesn't collapse.

But anyway, for it to look right, you really need to diagram the
walls in question, with measurements, and have someone in your
area who does custom cabinets or other woodwork do them to
fit your specific walls. Anything else is just going to look like
you glued a bunch of cabinet doors to your house.

The best you're likely to do is something like

Which boils down to gluing flat boards and molding
to the wall to fake it. This doesn't really look BAD,
but it doesn't look authentically rennaisance, either.

Thank for the link. I do want it to look "rustic" or something like that but I
haven't done much woodworking and will settle for a easier solution.
