Beadboard with non-framed room openings
I am planning to install beadboard on the lower 1/3 of my gameroom walls. However, there are 4 room openings that lead to the kitchen, living room, and laundry room that do not have frames or doors. These openings also have bull-nose round corners. Traditionally, it would be easy to stop the beadboard on the edge of a door frame. However, I am unsure how to stop the edge of the beadboard on the openings without the leading edge of a frame to butt up against. What is the best method in doing so?

Welcome to the forums!
Do you intend to install the bead board on top of the base? or do you intend to remove the base first?
If I was removing the base, I'd be inclined to ignore the bullnose and just square off the corners as far as the bead board is concerned. But I'm a painter not a carpenter, they should be along later with better advice for you

More likely than not, I'll be removing the baseboard and installing the beadboard behind it. Yet another challenge of what to deal with the mitered baseboard corners that will/won't have beadboard behind it! Help!!!

One thought: L shaped corner molding over the rounded edges of the doors, tied into the chair rail I assume you're putting on top of the beadboard. If you have the skill, duplicate the floor moulding for the chair rail.

Sorry for the delay but I appreciate everyone's response.
After another visit to home depot, I discovered 1/2" PVC quarter round molding to which I was thinking about running vertically between the chair rail and baseboard:

I was thinking of trimming the wall side down to 1/4" that way it will only be ~1/8" prouder than the beadboard. Thoughts?

This is the beadboard I was thinking of using:

Speaking personally, I would scrap this idea. With rounded corners and no trim at the doorways, I'm afraid beadboard will not enhance the look of the room.
