Black and Decker must have seen the post I did two years ago where I used a three foot level to measure, mark and tape stripes in my entryway here.
I can just hear their marketing team now…
“That dumb poor girl. Did she really use that clunker of a level to measure EVERY, SINGLE one of those stripes? Doesn’t she know we make a laser level? Let’s send her one and let her try it out. She might go jump off a cliff after she figures out all the time she wasted by not using our laser level.”
So this is the Black and Decker Laser Level and it is pretty sweet. It’s got this big suction cup thing (which my husband demonstrated by sticking it to his massive forehead) which sticks right to your wall.
No messing up the paint. Cool.
We were trying to line up our growth board charts (by Growing Up Vintage).
Black and Decker has taken the guess work out of it. If the red light is flashing then it’s not level.

Vanna White here is demonstrating how a simple adjustment will remedy the problem…
Once it turns green, it’s level.

Emily @ EAKaHouse says
How neat! I wonder if it would work on my plaster walls…
Cre8ive Motives says
That looks very interesting may have to convince hubby on buying one, it sure will in handy in our upcoming projects.

Emily says
Awesome! I did the same level thing that you did in my front room. I still love it three years later but I’m not sure I’m going to make time to do it again.
LC says
Awesome! I used a cheaper version of the black & decker leveler and it helped out a lot.
Andy says
Ah! Do you have textured walls? We’re moving to Colorado. Every house has textured walls. Do you have secrets to painting stripes on it? I can’t imagine my life without stripes?!
Krys72599 says
I am married to the BEST man in the world, but if we ever get divorced, it will be over hanging frames on the walls! I eyeball it and can tell immediately when one isn’t level, but up close with the hammer and nail, he can’t tell and we’re constantly arguing about it.
This prize would sure come in handy in our house!!!
shirley says
i tried one of those laser level(other brand), it didn’t work at all. After seeing your result, I can’t wait to try this out.
Kristin says
This would be so helpful!
MrsAjj says
I’m so excited about this laser level. If i don’t win, im buying anyway. I really want stripes in my family room and refuse to a stationary level.
Selma says
I didn’t even this existed. It would be very helpful for my not-so handyman husband.
Penny says

Hi Michelle,
As I was watching the Kardashians on tv (don’t judge), I immediately thought of you…wait for the reason:) The hotel hallway shown in the episode is identical as your foyer at your previous house. I mean the colors and space between the stripes…everything!
