Cutting very visible holes in your walls and ceilings (and repairing them later) might not be at the top of your list of fun projects. If you have wide baseboards, you might have a way out. You have to decide if it’s less of a mess to carefully remove a length of baseboard, pull the nails, reinstall, and possibly repaint it. With the baseboard out, you can drill behind it and not bother with patching up the plaster or drywall. This only works with wide baseboards (six inches wide and wider). With narrow baseboards, you would have to drill too close to the bottom of a stud, which could weaken it.
