To Shiplap Or Not to Shiplap...That is the Question!

If you have ears, you have heard the term shiplap.  A few years ago, I would have thought it was the distance required for a ship to leave harbor.  Now we hear the term in everyday conversation. Friend-       "I'm going to shiplap our entire house!!" Me-            "Really??" Friend-        "Yes! Where have you been?  It's the IN thing" Me-            "I know, but don't you think you might get tired of it after awhile?" Friend-        "Well, I haven't really thought about it.  I just love the way it looks" Me-             "So do I... (sigh)" (Photo Credit: Fixer Upper The Gorman Story Season 1)  I do love the way it looks.  Geez Louise..I have a farmhouse!  It would look perfect here, but do I want to embark on the shiplap frenzy?  Could it be the horizontal equivalent of the paneling...
