your house sounds like there is something interesting to see in every room. a decorator once said that there should be surprises everywhere...i like that thought.
i installed crown molding in my living room which i don't recommend unless you want to lose your mind completely. i used pre-cut corners but in an old house no corner is straight so the everything had to be modified with plaster.
when i wanted higher baseboards i just added more baseboard to the existing baseboards. not a good idea. baseboards look deep enough now, but they don't look like any baseboard i've ever seen.
i have a gazillion things i've done here but the last one i'll bore you with actually looks good. i bought kitchen cabinet doors off of ebay that didn't match in color but did match in style. i painted them all white and now i have new matching cabinet doors.
these projects are great therapy. whenever i start to get obsessive about it tho i have to remember when i sell this house the next person will most likely tear everything out and remodel. our neighborhood is notorious for new owners doing that.
i'm thinking Dinah, that my next project needs to have some pink in it! although i have to admit i have had a bit of pink previously. i painted one wall in the bedroom pink and it took my husband a month before he noticed it.
good luck with yours!
