Carved wood panels
Hello!
I have a 770 sq ft condominium in Southeast Michigan. I really want to cover my living room walls with carved wood panels, in whole or part. The kind of like the Reading Rooms of the University of Michigan Law School and Clements Libraries. I also want to have my personal library in the living room (incorporating/integrating the bookshelves into the wood panels. I guess the carpenter would do that). What are your thoughts on this? Would it be nice like it sounds in my head? And how much do you think it would cost?

Thank you!
I built a very similar 12x14 walnut library in my house. Walls, ceiling and floors are all wood with a window seat, desk, and bookcases. Materials alone were close to $20,000. It took me 6 years to complete this project in my free time. I would expect it would have cost $80,000-$100,000 if i hired this out. Here is a picture of one corner
