The Kingston Paint Team

Carrie Lynn

Carrie Lynn grew up just north of Kingston in the Village of Battersea.  She attended LaSalle Secondary School and was a proud Black Knight and then received her Bachelor of Arts at Queen’s University. She started in the paint industry in 1994 as a part-time employee, then full-time and manager for 18 years. Carrie Lynn became proud owner of Kingston Paint in December of 2014.  Since then, she has continued to grow Kingston Paint into the largest independent and locally owned paint store in the Kingston area. The array of products and manufacturers that she has selected has allowed Kingston Paint to succeed even while stock shortages plague our industry during this pandemic. She is proud of Kingston Paint’s success and that it allows her to support many local sports teams, charities and fundraising groups in the greater Kingston area. With over 29 years in the paint industry, she shares her knowledge and skills with her team of employees: 

 

Mike

Our Store Manager, Mike has been a part of Kingston Paint for more than 15 years! He is a wealth of knowledge and his colour matching skills are second to none. Mike can assist you with any project inside or out!  When not at work, Mike is enjoying life as a Dad and is an avid Philadelphia Flyers and Eagles fan.

 

Amanda

Amanda joined our team in 2017 with a lot of experience from a previous position at Color Your World in Barrie.  Amanda will guide you through all of the steps for any project and you will leave with confidence and knowledge. Amanda is a country girl at heart and spoils us all with food from her garden and fresh eggs from her chickens!

 

Christine

Christine joined us in 2018 but joined the home improvement industry almost 30 years ago as a  Home Hardware owner.  Her experience with customers and with colour selection made her our obvious choice as our Colour Consultant.  In-store for free, or in your home for a nominal fee, Christine will help you select colours that both compliment your home and your personality.  Christine is crafty, loves making home-made gifts and loves to crochet!

 

Barry

Barry may be a relatively new member of the Kingston Paint team, but he is definitely not new to the paint industry!  Barry began working at Patty's Paints (I recall going there with my Gramma!) 48 years ago!  You will recognize the smile behind his mask from his time at Glidden Paints, The Decorating Warehouse and Vandervoort Hardware. He took a brief hiatus from the industry last year and we couldn't be happier to have him join us.  He is definitely a paint expert, and when he isn't working you can find him at the rink watching his grandson play hockey and his granddaughter play ringette!

 

Keri

Keri has been our Window Treatments Specialist since 2020 and has been involved in Interior Design for over 10 years.  As owner of KLM Interior Design, Keri brings with her a wealth of knowledge and expertise.  She will help you find the perfect window treatment selection providing both function and design.  Window treatment consultations are free in-store or at home! If you are seeking assistance with room design, or furniture placement, KLM Design is available for a nominal fee.  When Keri isn’t busy making your home more beautiful, she is busy keeping up with her family and their two pups.

 

Sarah

Sarah started with us as a part-time student employee while studying at St. Lawrence College in 2018.  Sarah is a skilled colour matcher and has acquired a great depth of product knowledge in her time with us.  Sarah has recently begun a career as a dental assistant but you'll find her behind the tint counter on some weekends!  In here "spare time",  Sarah can be found watching hockey and taking care of her sweet dog Ellie.
