Please show me your Shaker appliance panels & hoods

I am looking for ideas for panels on my Sub Zero (36" over/under), Meile d/w, and hood covering.

My cabinets will be a simple recessed shaker in white but any shaker will help me give my cabinet maker some ideas.

Thank you!

I have shaker cabinets. My kitchen is ALMOST finished. Here's a picture of the hood, not sure if it's what you were looking for. I have a DW panel but no close up picture of it. It's just a flat face in the same style as the cabinet doors. I had the handle positioned to line up with the drawers on either side of it. After I ordered everything, I noticed that some people have gotten a faux drawer front in their DW panel to match the surrounding drawers.

I can't help with the frig panels, I opted to torture myself with handprints on the stainless.

Hope this helps!

Really like your Cabinets - what brand are these beauties, where can we find them! Your Marble is delicious, we had Marble in our last kitchen and loved it! Your Shaker design is exactly what we are looking for but in Cherry. We are moving into an old house with vintage steel cabinets but may want to replace them with Cherry, we will really miss our Cherry cabinets! What brand of Dishwasher did you install, we need a new one? And what is your faucet it looks great, we need a new one for the old house that we bought! Congratulations and thanks for sharing, Rose

island hood fans - please show me yours

Generally, (or maybe I should write hopefully), fans for hoods have monotonic fan curves so that the fan cannot get into a hunting mode where its speed oscillates. I think two such fans in series would also not hunt, but it is always a possibility given that with two controls each could be run at a different point on its fan's fan curve and that there is a lag between air flow changes at one fan before that flow gets to another. In any case, what I meant above was that the roof fan could be installed and operated with the hood fan turned off. Removal of the hood fan, or its use as a booster, would be something that one determined second. Removal would reduce noise, even if the roof fan were sized to equal the flow possible from running both together. Non-removal but not operated would cause some undesirable flow restriction. I don't see a mechanism for burn-out from series fans so long as they don't hunt. As always, the larger the roof fan, the lower the blade tip turbulence and noise when run at a speed that has the same flow rate as a smaller fan run at maximum. I don't want to try to divine the thought processes of the marketing departments of stylish hood manufacturers. But I imagine that they don't believe their customer base has sufficient interest in that feature. kas

The molding on our Shaker cabinets is simple looking but there's a lot of it. We had to run the venting for the range exhaust above the cabinets to the outside. As a result, we have 3 inches of "library" molding, and 4 inches of crown molding. I didn't like it at first, but I now believe it adds a lot of architectural interest, and makes the kitchen look more finished. Rich Here is a link that might be useful: kitchen pics

I was able to see it--but not the other brands, which is one reason I went with this one. Gaggenau and Faber make some that look good on paper (although the Gag is sort of $$$$$) but weren't on display locally. Oh! If you want it flush, look at the specs. It's a little deeper than standard cabinets AND it kinda bows out in the middle so I guess it's not supposed to be completely flush anyway. My old one, clearly a less expensive model, had nicer features because it had fewer features. The only button it had was to control fan speed. To turn on the fan AND light, you'd pull it out--one step. That meant it was always put away when done. This thing you gotta pull it out, turn it on, turn on the light...it supposedly moves more air than the cheaper models, but they look just as good. There's nothing automatic on it either, which some hoods have (not sure about slideouts, but I wouldn't be surprised). No auto on or delayed off. That's fine for me. I'm a bit of a Luddite when it comes to ventilation technology, but some people like the cool features. :)

Buffalotina here... When I remodelled my kitchen I already had a white fridge (Amana, nothing fancy) and a white Miele DW which I absolutely love and both were fine and not ready for replacement. The fridge is tucked away out of sight in the breakfast nook and looks OK there because there are no cabinets and the other stuff in there is utility white wire shelving, racks etc. As you see I did the Blue range. I agonized over whether the white DW would be OK but I decided to go ahead with it rather than trying to panel it or anything. My rationale was that as you look at that wall the backsplash is white and the white DW is also in the vertical plane and so I think it looks fine. I also have the small freestanding white cabinet that stands in the vertical plane. Also my cabinets are a very yellowy cream (Brookhaven French Vanilla) and so there was no problem with white on white where the whites might not look good together. That all said if and when I replace the DW and fridge I am tempted to go stainless... but it will probably all depend on what fridges are available at that point. Right now I am lusting over a Liebherr....and that is only in stainless... and when push comes to shove I may not be able to bring myself to spend that much on a fridge. I think I would be inclined to go with what looks more period for the 1915 house...and perhaps showcase the white vintage range and keep it the only white appliance? Good luck!!!

Thanks Roseofblue,
I read your thread about painting the steel cabinets and I think it would be so great if you kept them. I imagine it must be difficult to leave behind a cherry kitchen! It's nice to hear from someone who had and loved marble!

Our cabinets are Candlelight cabinetry, the door style is called Carriage, one of their inset offerings. Our dishwasher is a Bosch Integra. I haven't tried it out yet. I ordered all the appliances from AJMadison.com and the salesman threw in the DW for free! I've heard good things about it but I'm leaving a house after 6 years that has no DW so I would have taken anything.

The prep sink faucet is a replacement. The original one I ordered was supposed to be pretty nice, at least the price suggest so. The "nickel" was peeling off so I returned it and grabbed the one in the pic at my local Home Depot at the last minute. It's a Glacier Bay, less than $100. I hope it holds up. I do like it though!

Amac514, I will take a close up of my DW panel today sometime. I hope others include pics because mine is not completely flush with the cabinets and I think others may have planned better for that.

Please show me your Shaker appliance panels & hoods
