Sheet rock SUCKS. Its not hanging the sheet thats the problem, its the mudding. You might get it right after a *****load of sanding, but the pros make it look to easy, and your house looks great. Those curves are not going to easy.

Sorry to be a kill joy, but I'm just trying to save you grief.
Secret is thin coats with minimal sanding.

If you want to build confidence before trashing your house, wood & sheetrock is cheap. Build an arch as a test, and see how it comes out before cutting into your walls.

Just like I would try welding scrap metal before trying to weld my 911.....
