I have a hood - a BEAUTIFUL hood!

Sorry I haven't been around much. It's because I am in the middle of our kitchen remodel and almost all the decision have been made so I am no longer seeking daily advice. But I did want to pop in and show all my fellow TKO friends my custom wooden hood. I just love it. I think my cabinet guy did such a great job! I'm thrilled.

It actually looks better in person and I can't wait until all the cabinet doors are on and my "HeartSing"-backsplash-tile / main-focal-point is in. Oh, I can't wait, I can't wait!! Hopefully, we will be done by the end of March. That is assuming I can a decision on the pendant lights. Expect to see me around in the coming weeks soliciting feedback and suggestions for that.

Oh and I love my floor tile too:

To all you in the planning stage, don't lose hope. You'll get there. It just takes time, lots and lots of time.

    Your hood is FANTASTIC!

    He did a great job. And you have good instincts picking him for the job. :-)

    Beautiful! I like the tile, too. You've done a wonderful job and should pat yourself on the back, for making such lovely choices. Looking forward to seeing the backsplash tile installed :)

    Wow! That is one of the prettiest wood hoods I have ever seen! So simple, yet so interesting. Did you show him a photo to copy or did you come up with the design on your own or ??

    I can't wait to see your tile also.

    P.S. Just because you aren't actively trying to make a decision, doesn't mean you can't hang out here. :)

    Thanks y'all!

    I showed the cabinet guy a bunch of photos and I said, "I like this about this one" "I HATE this about that one" and he did a quick sketch that I liked and then he made it happen.

    Breezy - I think you are absolutely right. It is simple but has some interesting details. And yes, I know I can come around more and I should and I want to but life (laundry, kids, cleaning) get in the way. I'll do better. I promise.

    For those of you who asked about the tile:
    The color is Velvet Ecru made by Casa Dolce Casa. It comes in a few different sizes like 12x24 but I went with the more traditional 24x24. It is porcelain but has A LOT of variety and of my 600 sq. ft, I have one seen two of the same tile. Their link is below.
