Who knew that a range hood could be this exciting?

Figuring out what our range hood would look like was no easy task. Originally we were going to have a stainless steel wrapped hood enclosure. But then I began to feel like that might be more stainless than I wanted given that our kitchen opens onto the family room. In the end we decided on a painted hood with straight sides to meet the open shelving that will flank it, and a slight slope on the front up to the ceiling.

Having it in place was giving me a real groove. I am now able to imagine cooking in this space.


The bottom of the hood will have a very simple wood molding. I didn't want it to look fancy.


 
Just waiting for the counter and appliances.

Just a simple bead on the top and bottom of each drawer.

The drawer beneath the wall oven is going to fit more than one Le Creuset  and the top drawer on the left is where I am going to keep the cling film and aluminum foil.

    1. I was actually opposed to the beading detail on the drawers. I wanted something with no detail, but John and our architect won that argument. Happily, they made the right call. I like the way they look.

  2. Stunning choices all around. I absolutely love seeing your selections and the thought behind the details. What a delight to have been introduced to your blog, especially as we are neighbors. Anslie Stokes, whom I have known for years, shared it with me when I told her that we might finally be ready to tackle our own renovation (on a much smaller scale than yours). And, of course, I adore the site's name; Lucy is adorable!

    1. The cabinet paint color is Benjamin Moore Smoke Embers with a bit of sheen, but I don't recall the exact percentage. They were shop painted so they have a very smooth, no brush finish.
