Paint it White

photos

This is why I want to paint everything in my new house white. Right now everything -- i.e. the walls, the decorative trim which abounds in this 100 year old Victorian -- is painted a dusty mauve color. To me, it makes the walls look older and dirtier than they are. The problem is that painting our new place is going to be a mother of a job. We rent, but have permission to paint. But with all the trim and doors, I'm not sure that it is a DIY job. Any advice out there about tackling everything from the doorknobs to the window sashes?
