I wanted to share with you some of my favorite painting tools. The brush I've used to paint all of the trim is the Purdy angled 2". It's wonderful for cutting in too. I'm not sure what this other handy tool is called but it's great for cleaning the brush with the tooth edge. The curved edge can be used to wash out rollers (which is my least favorite thing about cleaning up!) 
Speaking of cleaning rollers, why do it if you don't have to? I saw this trick on a DIY show. If you're going to use the roller again just store it in the fridge. I keep mine in plastic bags. This is just for latex paint though. And the roller of choice for us is the Wooster Pro Classic 3/8".
I've mentioned the paint colors we're using from Sherwin Williams, but the actual brand is called Cashmere Low-lustre. It's been wonderful to work with, some of the best I've ever used! It goes on smooth (like cashmere, haha) and doesn't leave roller lines.
