Victorian with Shiplap

Hi all,

I just bought a high end,

 Victorian near downtown McKinney, TX.  It is a 125 year old, 5000sqft 

exquisite home on an acre.

The trim wood (not painted) is awesome and original for this home.  They had "fabric" over the shiplap.  I'm trying not to take out the original trim and am thinking about 1/4 inch drywall.

Also, the shiplap walls are not perfectly flush...so I'm expecting a bunch of floating of mud. 

I'm looking for tips and suggestions on 1/4inch drywall or plaster (heavy) or other ?

Thanks much,

John
