If you are talking about the base board "trim" then it is possible to remove
it.

There usually is some 1/4 round between the base board and the floor.
Remove it first.

Use a magnet to find the nails and get a thin pry bar. If you only pry at
the nail then you will be working against the wall stud and you should not
do more than superficial damage to the plaster.

HOWEVER you might want to just re-finish the base board in place.

I have a house that was built in 1930 and has all plaster walls. I
want to replace the trim on all of the walls since it has been painted
MANY times and no longer looks nice. I'm a little hesistant on pulling
the trim off of the walls since I have no idea what to expect behind
it. The trim now is about 6" high. Is it easy to remove the trim and
replace it? The walls are not exactly straight, so I worry that the
trim won't fit correctly. Do I need any special tools or equipment to
put up the trim?



Thanks.
