Claim:
A panel system for a wall or ceiling, comprising: (a) a plurality of flat base boards, each base board having an upper surface, a top, a bottom and left and right ends wherein each base board has a width W and a length PL; (b) a plurality of varied, discrete essentially rectangular pieces, each piece having a uniform thickness T but varying lengths L and heights H, wherein the total of lengths L of said plurality of discrete pieces equals PL, wherein said discrete pieces are randomly attached to said base boards in a plurality of full rows from top to bottom, and wherein at least two of said discreet pieces in each row have different lengths L, and wherein the thickness dimension of said discrete varied pieces is parallel to the upper surface of said flat base boards; (c) a plurality of gap rows at the left and right ends of said base boards each gap row having left and right connecting gaps for attaching said panel to a wall or ceiling wherein the sum of the lengths of the left and right connecting gaps in each row is equal to the length CL of a connecting piece and wherein the total lengths L of discreet pieces in said gap rows is equal to PL-CL, and wherein at least two of said discreet pieces in each gap row have different lengths, and wherein said gaps are adapted to receive connecting pieces; (d) connecting pieces each having a length CL adapted to be inserted in the gaps of adjoining panels to connect adjoining panels in a wall or ceiling system; wherein said plurality of base boards may be connected side-by-side by said connecting pieces to form a random and virtually seamless wall or ceiling.
