I know - it should be done before the carpet goes down, but in one room,
I don't have a choice at the moment. Anyone have any amazing tricks to
avoid getting paint on the carpet while painting the molding? I've
already imagined some schemes with the blue tape, but I'm open to new
ideas, or to someone else doing the job. (Teenage son says "Me?")

Take a thin piece of metal about 18" long, such as a Venetian blind slat,
and push down on it to press the carpet out of the way. After painting
that section, move it down. Clean it off often.
