I want to say the ornamental corner things are bosses, but I'm not sure. I know what you mean, though. And none of my trim has the same profile as the rest, either, I just didn't mention that part because the color is even more obvious.
Unfortunately all the crappy mahogany would have to be replaced to make everything match -- it's junky baseboard that's been beaten up and has paint dribbles on it, and it was installed over carpet (which was installed over the hardwood) so it's actually 1/4 to 1/2 an inch off the floor. *desk*
What do you think of the window frame being wood ('cause wood = pretty, yay!, and I already bought it) and baseboards being white, if the trim's the same profile? I already think I have to replace all the baseboards (because fiber board is eeeevil) and I'm not sure I can afford non-paint grade wood, as well as thinking it'd look like ass next to the planned paint scheme for the dining room.
Oddly enough, my folks' dining room has the opposite -- painted windows and clear fir baseboards -- but that was because stripping the window frames was such a PITA that they gave up and painted them. Aaaand they spent a shitload of money on those beautiful clear fir baseboards!
I love gloss paint inside, btw. I can't wait to see pics of your new place once you get it properly turtled-up. I use semi-gloss instead of high gloss, and people at the paint store still look at me weird, but walls that you can clean! That reflect light! Why do people even bother with flat paint?
