Completion of Our #KitchenReno and Painting with Para Paints

I am glad we completed our mostly DIY #KitchenReno project. We fixed the vent, tiled the floor, transformed the cabinets with Rust-Oleum, organized the drawers in the kitchen with Rev-A-Shelf, installed the Delta Touch2O Technology Faucet, and chose quartz for the countertops. I chose the coin silver grey from Para paints for the kitchen wall, and two different shades of white for the ceiling and trims.

I am glad the colour combinations we chose for our kitchen works well, and makes the space graceful. I like the coin silver grey from the Para Paints' Canadian Heritage Collection that brings beauty, and vibrance to the kitchen. I like how the shades lighten up depending on the lighting of the day, and how it makes the area feel friendly for our family and friends to hangout, and prep/ enjoy meals.

We first used the Ultra Latex Para Paints primer on the wall and ceiling that gave a beautiful base for us to work with. We always prefer to prime first, and this primer is the best we have used so far. It gave the surface a finished look even before putting on the semi-gloss Para Ultra Kitchen and Bath paint for the walls.

For the ceiling we chose a flat finish white shade that helped bring the focal point to the cabinets and flooring. We chose another shade of white in semi-gloss for the trims and windowsill, semi-gloss paint makes it easy to keep it clean. We did not encounter lingering paint odour during and after painting. 

I like how everything turned out, where the ceiling and trim blends effortlessly, and gives a beautiful contrast with the wall colour and cabinets. Right after painting I thought it the colour I chose was going to be dull, however thankfully :) it brightened up once it dried and matched exactly to the colour on the sample card. 

I love the brightness and the quality of their paints. There are different brands of their paints, we chose the Ultra series for our kitchen. Para Paints has a forecast of beautiful vibrant colours that are available in many Home Improvement stores perfect for any room in our home.
