On the Upper West Side I recently did a large living room.
All the woodwork was originally painted dark green and was in bad shape.
I spent days repairing and prepping the large crown molding, baseboards and doors before painting them all white.
The Venetian Plaster, which was 
done in a previous year, got spruced up and now shimmers like new.
The color change on all the woodwork updated the room to give it a more contemporary feel.
