B. Enne on Aug 14, 2015Could you glue or use 2-sided tape on some light wood trim? Or maybe you could faux finish them to look like wood trim?Helpful Reply

Lori on Aug 14, 2015The only way I can think of is remove the lathes, use plaster or spakling to fill in the seams, sand smooth and paint or paper the walls.Helpful Reply

Judy on Aug 15, 2015We use to have mobile home that had the same type of problem. My husband removed the lathes, he applied a tape that is used between dry wall panels - no clue what it's called - it looks like some sort of mesh. On top of that he applied some plaster (think the dry wall kind) waited 24 hours for it to dry well, sanded, vacuumed, and applied a good primer to everything, then we painted. Walls looked seamless. Lot of work but worth it! Note primer we used was a mold killer - just a preventive measure because of the type of construction.Helpful Reply

Linda Lemiere-Zile on Aug 15, 2015We did paintable caulking on ours long time ago and painted the room and looked so much better. I have also seen people paint the wood pieces as well just like the whole wall and it looked good. Less noticeable.Helpful Reply
