Painting - painting a high wall

Hello,

My husband and I decided we're going to paint our living room and foyer areas this summer (yay). However, we have really high walls. We painted our daughter's room before, and I recall we had to put up that blue tape on the edges to prevent it from touching unwanted edges. This time, we don't want to paint our ceiling, so how do we reach it so that the paint just touches the walls and not the ceiling? Being somewhat new to painting, I guess I'm just not familiar with all the tools out there you can use/buy.

Thanks!

you need to get a ladder that will reach up to where you need to be. Then use a brush to cut in the wall paint. give yourself at least 6" of cut, so you won't bump the ceiling when you roll the wall.
