Looks great, Melissa!!! Love your hard work!

Looks great. In the future, you can avoid the problem with the trim being thicker than the door and window casing by installing backbanding around the door and window trim. The board and batten trim will die right into the backbanding and looks beautiful. Agree with you about avoiding glue all over the walls. Also, I remember caulking a project like this. It did take FOREVER, but it looks amazing when you're done.

Home Depot or Lowes could have delivered what you needed in the correct size.
