Why Summer Is the Best Time to Paint

I’ve been painting for as long as I can remember, and I can tell you this: summer gives you a few extra advantages when it comes to painting projects:

✅ Warm temps speed up dry times
✅ Open windows = better ventilation
✅ Grilling season means your kitchen can take a break

It’s also the season for fresh starts—and there’s nothing like a coat of paint to help you fall in love with your home all over again.

Painting Tips You Need to Know Before You Start

To help you get the best results, here are some pro painting tips from our team and our newest mini magazine:

1. Watch the Weather

  • Humidity can slow dry time—especially in rooms without airflow. Use fans or dehumidifiers to help paint cure properly.

  • For exterior painting, aim for overcast days when the sun isn’t beating down on your brushwork. Too much direct sun can cause paint to dry too quickly and unevenly.

2. Pick Your Projects

  • Painting kitchen cabinets is one of the most high-impact, budget-friendly updates you can make. Our Paint Like a Pro course shows you how to do it step by step—even if you’ve never touched a paintbrush before.

  • Don’t forget smaller paint projects: accent walls, front doors, or bathroom vanities are great places to start.

3. Choose the Right Paint & Tools

Inside our mini magazine and course, we share:
✔ Our favorite cabinet color guide
✔ A swipe file of go-to knobs + handles
✔ A shopping checklist so you can prep like a pro

You don’t have to guess or waste money on the wrong supplies!

What’s Holding You Back?

I know what it feels like to want to update your home but get stuck in analysis paralysis. In fact, I created this magazine and my Paint Like a Pro Course because I’ve been there:

  • Worried about choosing the wrong color

  • Unsure if I was “handy” enough

  • Convinced I didn’t have time to make it happen

The truth? You don’t have to be an expert. You just need a plan, a little patience, and the right guidance.

Do It for Your Future Self

Every project you complete today is a gift to your future self. It’s an act of care for your home and for the people who live in it.

Final Thoughts

A fresh coat of paint has the power to refresh your space, lift your mood, and make your home feel new again—all without the cost or hassle of a full renovation.

This summer, I hope you’ll take the leap and pick up that brush. And when you do, I’d love to see your before + after photos in our Home Imagined Facebook Group. Because you deserve to love where you live.
