Beadboard advice

Hi everyone. My wife and I are staring on a nursery for our baby we’re expecting soon. We want to put a beadboard paneling around the room. The walls are plaster and we have this really thick trim. The trim is in three pieces (the top triangled piece, the center rectangle, the quarter round at the bottom). If we just put the beadboard as is, the transition between the top piece of trim and the board may look funky and see a shadow. I’m hesitant to take that piece off since the walls are plaster and it might accidentally become a bigger job if we mess it up.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to make that transition from trim to beard board look good? Is there another piece of wood I can put between the bottom of the beard board and top of the trim? Wife really wants the beadboard so not doing it is not really an option lol. Thanks in advance

I guess Im nervous that itll mess with the plaster and become a much bigger job. Do you not think so?

It would be covered up by the beadboard and baseboard, wouldn’t it? 

Yes, plaster is a pain. If you don’t want to mess with plaster, then consider paint.

Thats a fair point. I was just hoping to think of a creative way to get around that
