Looks good! Yeah, getting around door frames can be a bitch, but you're right, baseboard is your friend. In a perfect world you'd pull all the molding and baseboards first. New construction is even more fun. I'm about to start a 3 room addition on a rental house, I can't wait. Big empty space. Nobody else's half assed work to repair. New electrical! New plumbing (I love cpvc pipe)! New tile, right up to the wall! New drywall! Rooms sized to fit the tile and drywall with minimal waste! I've got a GC, because I can't legally act as my own general contractor unless it's my primary residence, but the GC is a mate and I'll be doing 90% of the work.

Are you thinking of refacing the fireplace?

Edit - with that tile flagstone or a dark slate would look really nice.
