How to get rid of 'texture', replace standard with bullnose? - I have lazy builder 'texture' all over the house- the kind they smack all over the walls to hide their tape seams. You can still even see where the screws are in places, these half inch raised spots where the sheets were joined, so the texturing isn't fooling anyone anyway. The corners are sharp. The texture seems to enhance the feeling and appearance of living in DRYWALL. I learned to do American Clay, and did a small area so far, but I don't think that will fly in the whole house when we sell, I think most people would want to choose their wall colors so American Clay is not the answer. Do I sand to the bare drywall and paint or (which I am fine with), sand it most of the way and then apply a coat of joint compound like a smooth plaster completely over the walls and paint? I feel the latter would have a higher quality appearance. Also, is it difficult to replace the sharp corner beads with bullnose? Whew! Thanks! »

Claudio Ortiz Design Group, Inc. Well, where do I start! Let me see, America clay is probably fine if the colors and application are done just right. I have not seen your final work so it's hard for me to judge. The safer route is the latter of your choices. I would try to go for a smooth finish knowing that you will have a bigger market wanting that particular look on the walls. Regarding the sharp corners, they are not difficult to replace except that it can be time consuming specially if you do not have too much practice at it. However, not knowing the architectural style of your home, again it's hard for me to recommend for you to remove the sharp corners. It you have a modern architectural style home with clean lines, then the sharp corners will probably be in keeping with the architecture. I hope this help!

Wishing you the best!

How do you paint two different colors in a rounded corner home »
· Comment · 13 months ago
Charmean Neithart Interiors, LLC. Yes, I have to agree with Mint and Smith. I've seen such a paint split on rounded corners. Even done really well, it's not ideal. There are a lot of ways to bring color in to make a space feel different, like art, rugs, textiles.

Matt Patterson Custom Homes Shadows will usually give depth on perpendicular surfaces. At any rate, with bullnose drywall corners it is usually very easy to cut a strait line with a foam roller depending on texture...the smoother the easier. I do it frequently.

I live in a pretty typical and boring 1960s split-level home. Although I don’t have a photo of the space, I am renovating and wondering how to create a better flow and connection between rooms and levels? Any suggestions? »

bepsf You should work with an architect or designer to give you specific ideas that are suitable for your needs, your budget and the way your existing home is built - Without alot more info, we can't be of much help.

Bud Dietrich, AIA I really like split level homes. The separations are terrific and there's so much you can do with them. The photo is of a typical split where we removed all of the walls on the main level to open it up.

As bepsf says, hire a good local architect to help you with this.

What size is the bullnose? - I'm told there's the standard 3/4 inch bullnose but now a 3/8 inch baby bullnose. Do you know what size this is? Looks great! »

Drywall vs. PlasterDrywall is a master of disguise. The walls in this picture look like they could be plaster. One of the visual giveaways that you're actually looking at drywall is when you see the sharp corners created by standard corner bead.Corner bead is a metal or plastic piece that covers the outside corners of drywall to protect them from damage. Then joint compound is spread over the bead and sanded smooth.In many traditional plaster applications, a rounded piece of wood trim was placed at the corners and then plastered over, creating a round corner. To mimic this look with drywall, look for a bullnose corner bead.

For a plaster-like finish, install blue board— a drywall product made for this purpose — then skim coat the entire surface instead of just the seams. This is much faster than with traditional plaster. Also use a traditional plaster application: a rounded piece of wood trim placed at the corners and then plastered over, creating a round corner. To mimic this look with drywall, look for a bullnose corner bead.
