Before I run off to buy a book I thought I'd hit up any experts lurking on the board. For my next DIY home project I want to arch all the lower level hallway entries. This is the look I am going for.
I have 7 standard squared hallway transitions and 1 entertainment nook all with bullnosed corners that I want to convert. Here is a picture with arrows of some candidates
I am planning to build arched plywood fittings (sorry for lack to technical jargon) that will screw into the existing openings. Then I would remove the existing sheetrock to the nearest vertical stud on each side and replace with a single piece cut that will accomodate my arch. I have little experience with drywall edging so I'm wondering how do I deal with the existing bullnose edging? Do I need to rip it out down to the floor and redo or can I blend my arched portion into what's already there? I want to do as much as possible myself as I'm on a limited budget (buying supplies for upcoming master bath tile job). Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thanks
