Painting clothes

Ever watch HGTV?  It’s a safe bet the answer is yes or else you wouldn’t be reading this blog.  I get so excited seeing what people can do with the space they already have but there’s one thing I just don’t get…  How on earth do those designers always seem to wear really nice clothes and not get a speck of paint on them while painting? I marvel at that fact every single time I see it.  Surely, they get the painting “shot” and then the painting crew comes in to finish the job but for one brief minute, we are given the idea that we can paint in my clothes and not ruin them. Would you like to hear about my painting clothes?

Truth be told, I’m kind of a messy painter.  I always have to scrub my hands and after painting my clothes look like a Jackson Pollock painting.  I am wondering if I should invest in this little gem from Amazon… 

My painting clothes

Who doesn’t want to look like a giant marshmallow?  I’m not a vain person but I am fairly certain that in my current overweight condition, I couldn’t wear this—even in the privacy of my own home—without bursting into tears and winding up in the corner sucking my thumb and rocking back and forth.  I’ll save this suit for the HazMat guys.

Truth be told, my painting clothes look like I’m having a pajama party.  I wear an old pair of pajama pants and old t-shirt.  And they have all the colors of rooms past:  Swiss coffee, warm muffin, polar white, lily lavender, burgundy wine, ocean pearl and bittersweet chocolate.  Just like a crayon box with all the colors.

For my next paint job, I’ll probably have to come up with a new painting outfit.  My current one is SO old, it’s falling apart.  What about you?  What do you wear to paint?
