How do a repaint a room that the doorframe and light switch is painted over?

Question

im moving into my sisters room because shes going to colledge ,the room is a tacky tan color with shagged carpet and that needs to be changed. i have no idea what to do about the way the previous owners painted. they painted over the door frame and right over the light switch its just rediculous and i dont know where to start.

Answer 1

Just repaint the door trim whatever color you wish, and you can replace the light switch cover for 30 cents for plain, or a couple bucks if you want something ornate / metal.
