I have an archway between my kitchen and living room that is kind of lack luster. I would like to rebuild it into something better and really spend some time doing it. My house is rather unique though in that its non-traditional inside...a lot of highly detailed stuff. So I was thinking what if I made the archway into a heart shape?
The problem is, you obviously could not connect the heart at the bottom so it comes to a point. That would leave you with a darn hatchway...no good. But if you formed the lobes of the heart at the top, and then sloped the sides at a slight angle (say 15º) would you get enough of the heart shape to see the intent and yet allow unrestricted access which is what an archway is all about?
Now this is just an idea. I would entertain other ideas on unique archways as well. What do you guys and gals think?
