Paint OR Replace Baseboards/Doors?? I think that sculpture my wood grain baseboards and doors white would...

I think that sculpture my wood grain baseboards and doors white would really update my late-80s home. Would it be easier to video back the hearth rug and paint everything with a semi-gloss white or should I foot the bill and hold it all redo, professionally? I really don't have the money to that right very soon so if I can do it myself, the nightmare that it would be, is what I would prefer....
Answers:    Aw come on you can do it!
First,
the doors: Remove the hinge pins and place on saw horses, remove the remaining hinge leaf and lock set, weakly sand the entire door with 220 grit serious newspaper, use MH to fix any imperfection, prime near quality under-body type primer, next top coat with a roller, afterwards back brush. 2 coats of finish

Baseboard and trim:
for the door and porthole casing, prep and prime as described above, invest within a quality 2" sash brush (NOTE: if you are going to paint the walls as powerfully the sequence is trim, walls, walls, trim) Take the time to learn to cut within without cassette. You will eventually get faster and better; tape will always be a time consuming throbbing. AS for the baseboard, here a trick get some polite 2" painters cartridge, hold with the cement facing away and using a 4" putty knife stuff as far down between the hearth rug and baseboard as you can, then verbs the tape toward you and squish onto the mat. This hold the carpet down and away from the areas you involve to paint.

And remember, painting IS prep
It's really trouble-free, just do it yourself. You might enjoy to do a little sand with a fine sandpaper if your baseboards own a coat of gloss on them, so the paint will hug. But other than that its trouble-free
