I am planning to do similar tiling like this picture shown (left wall of the picture, half wall tiled): http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F8scTI9Qm4U/SOZzReWnaEI/AAAAAAAADQg/uuSVy4OKTVU/s1600-h/IMG_4608.jpg Once the tiles hit the corner, they stop. Should I apply bullnose along the end of the wall to smooth out the transition to painted wall next to it? Or will regular tiles suffice?
You need bullnose. See:

If you need more info just use a search engine and type in "install bullnose tile".
Good luck with your project!

You can use bullnose but you can also use a schluter edge which is a nice metal detail
You are asking about bullnose along the vertical transition in corner between the tile and painted wall? That seems very strange to me to install bullnose there. The only thing I would probably do is use the Schluter strip, as Jeff/Primer suggested. It could add a nice detail and also add a buffer in the tiles are not cut perfectly, or the walls are not straight.
