We will have the same type of flooring on both the lower and higher level when we finish. It is Pergo Timbercraft flooring, and I have stairnose molding for the transition. The jamb and trim on the other side of picture above have been cut already for the new flooring to fit underneath. Haven't decided what to do for sure with the trim on the side you can see in the photo.
Transition between different levels
We are installing new laminate flooring in our home. Our first floor has one room that is a lower level than the rest, and we will have to transition to this room in two different spots.
Where I am stumped is that there is drywall at the edge. It seems like this would degrade at the transition if I installed the bullnose type transition directly on top of it, and in fact some of it is already worn down.
Any suggestions as to how to transition this better? Or should I just repair the drywall so it is flush? The previous owners had a strip of unfinished wood tacked down on top of the drywall where the transition ended. I know I dont want that, because it looked pretty tacky.

Here is another photo. The room is kind of a mess since with all the furniture from the other room in here. 🙂
