I love your two inspiration pictures. I hop you’ll find a solution for your “curling walls”; I’m thinking, but I have no clue what to do!

In reply to Leena. Wow, I never would have thought of that! I've only done one room...there are still 9 to go! I'll definitely try it for the next one.

If you would not have glued the strips already I would have suggested that you could try painting both sides of the strip. When the paint dries it could dry more evenly. I’ve heard about this trick, but I have no idea if it works for such a slim pieces of wood.

In reply to Abbe PB. Ahh, apparently it hasn't been long enough, 24 hours should be easy enough if I can remain patient. :) Thank you for the tips Abbe!

How long are you leaving the books stacked on top of the walls? If you’ve only been letting them sit until the glue “should” be dry, try leaving it overnight or even for a good 24-48 hours. That gives plenty of time for ALL of the moisture to completely evaporate and leave it flat.

Of course, the other problem will be painting, which unfortunately I don’t have any ideas for. I’d definitely try a small paint roller for good coverage without a heavy layer, and maybe some wax paper between the walls and a heavy weight. Either way, good luck – it looks amazing, I can’t wait to see more progress!
