My sweet little Lydia is now 4 months old...
(your welcome!)
Busy mother that I am, I am just now starting to decorate her room. I had a different plan about switching the girls rooms at first but Lydia had a different plan. She would only sleep on her tummy- so bassinettes were out. I was having panic attacks every night with worry about her not being on her back, and finally in the end just bought another crib of her own so there would be plenty of clear space- no bumpers and fans on at all times.
About 2 weeks after she was born, we moved around about every piece of furniture that we own to make it all work, and that was about as far as it got. BUT finally Lydia's room is painted... she won't remember the first 4 months of randomness... right? (Let's be honest, I'm really not concerned even if she does, she is loved and wanted, that is what counts- not wall colors!)
Anywho, for this project, I got to try out
Black and Decker's Rapid Roller. It made super quick work of this project!! Thank Heaven!! Time savers are essential because with two girls under 2 (and running this blog) I really don't have a lot of extra time.
Before most of the furniture moved to center of room:
Opening up the box. WOW!
Cutting in. So according to some pictures I have seen of this product, you might be able to avoid cutting in if you use painters tape, BUT I hate painters tape- I never use it. A good quality (like Purdy) angled 1 1/2 inch brush is all you need.
Justin felt like he should take a picture of me using it... yikes. I should start putting makeup on when I work on projects... and maybe brush my hair, maybe.
I had to show this image(below), so you can see how the head pivots in different ways. COOL feature!
It also had this cool stand, which reminds me of a bike... don't know why I just mentioned that.
The color is off in this picture, it was 12:00 pm at night... and I really have poor camera skills!
The next day, I did a little decorative painting which I LOVE. I wasn't quite sure if it would work but I am super happy with it. I will show you more pictures soon as I actually finish the room. And more of the process.
Paint color: Martha Stewart Lagoon MSL125
But for now...

I would paint the large family room with it. We have Cathedral ceilings that I can't imagine painting the 'old' way!

I think this tool would be AWESOME at getting my living room/entry/stairway done - they all connect and have to be painted the same color. What a chore!

Ok, I'll admit I had to do some reasearch to figure out just what this thing is! But I'm VERY interested in trying it out.
So far I've painted 4 rooms of my house (one of them twice now) by myself. It's a LONG process. Not needing to fill my roller every 45 seconds would be a HUGE help!
So I'd start of by painting my master bedroom (which is the only bedroom still in a very sorry state!)

I pin your pictures all the time. :) I would use this to paint my toy room and basement, they're the only rooms that are untouched so far. I bet this would be awesome for painting doors, too, I have a lot of those to do. Was it one coat coverage? Also, I love the decorative painting you did.

Hmmmm...what project would I tackle??? Well seeing that my hubby and I are trying to find just the right house to be "our first place", I will have to imagine that there will be plenty of rooms to put this cool tool to use.

I would use the power roller to paint my foyer...it is 2 story and connects to the upstairs and downstairs hallways. I've been putting off this 3 areas in one for 6 years!
I have a 30+ year old house that needs repainting both inside and outside. I could handle the inside with this sweet baby. How awesome.
this is just the coolest thing ever!!! we need to paint the ceiling of our porch and this would make the process go soo quickly. what did you use as your "stencil" or guide to draw the adoreable design on top of the blue?? it looks amazing now and cant wait to see it totally finished.
Longtime reader. I'd love to have one of these paint rollers. I have so many paint projects to tackle, but so little time with my 2 boys. Thanks for hosting this terrific giveaway!

I used to have one of these things. Not sure it was by Black and Decker, but I know with their name on it it'll be great!
If I win this awesome tool I'll finally get the stairway painted! And maybe even the Gentleman's Parlor and the garage walls! Heck I'll even paint the upstairs hallway!
This would be awesome for painting our guest bathroom once the reno is finally done! And then maybe convincing the hubby we need to tackle the guest bedroom and entryway as well ...
I'd love to try this out on our basement ceilings!
We are moving and I'd use it to paint every room in the house!!

We're planning on repainting our bedroom and bathroom in the next few months. This would be fantastic and make the job so much easier especially in our bedroom where there are stairs and hard to reach spots that even a ladder would be tricky.
