A custom duct cover is probably less expensive than getting an island hood to solve your problem. (The "chimney" on the hood is really a cover for a duct that the air flows through.) Because an island hood has to be finished on all 4 sides and has to support its weight from the ceiling, it normally costs more than a wall hood which normally has 3 finished sides and is supported from the wall. About the smallest price difference I've seen between the wall and island models of the same hood was $500 and it can be over $1000. The custom duct cover for our hood cost about $500. That was to get a duct cover made with trapezoidal sides because there was a sistered joist in the way of where we wanted to hang our island hood. Since it was for an island hood, that was for something strong enough to support the hood. That is a lot more weird request then getting a "flange" on a wall duct cover. A wall duct cover usually has 3 sides with just flanges at the back for screws. So what you want might be more like a small step or notch in the sides of the duct cover so that the sides are 1/4 inch deeper above the backsplash. I'd expect that to add much less than $500 to the duct cover cost. To ensure that you get exactly what you want, you should draw up a sketch with dimensions showing it. Independent, who made our duct cover, required a sketch from us before they would quote. There might be some practical problems with an island hood against a wall. If it is installed tight to the wall (so that its rear edge touches the backsplash, there might be noise from vibration since it won't be screwed to the wall like a wall hood would. If it isn't tight to the wall, it might be difficult to clean behind and some grease and steam laden air might flow behind it. If your backsplash goes behind the hood, screws will need to go through it that attach the hood to the wall.

Thanks for the suggestions so far everyone! KA -> Thanks for the pic. My wife likes beige so I will show her your pic and see what she thinks. Do you remember what the color is called and who makes it? Perhaps with that info I can find the equivalent BM. Love your cabinets. Hoping ours look good with the darker floor. Still working with the cabinet maker on stain color as the first sample looked redish when held next to our floor, and that isn't what we want. celtinNE -> We have a local store that is a BM dealer and they try to help, but unfortunately they are not experts. They run around grabbing samples for you and give you some ideas, but in the end you can tell they don't really have that much more knowledge then we do. roarah -> Don't worry, we are in the same boat. I'm pretty sure some of the islands posted on GW cost more then our entire kitchen! Perhaps one day we'll win the lottery :).

Are your floors stained on-site hardwood or did they come pre-finished? I’m asking because I really like how your kitchen has turned out - and I’m thinking about being a copycat (as my mom used to tell me - “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery“ - every time my younger sister would “copy” me - ex. I cut 6” off my hair - 4 days later my sister got the same exact haircut). I might have missed it - but what did you go with for your backsplash? Oh - and I know that you already had your countertops but . . . Are they quartz or marble? Everything really looks nice. I may go a with a little “moodier” blue on my island - but I really like yours too. i just looked back through your photos - the blue island has so many looks depending upon light!

I was just asking for the same advice yesterday from this group... we also have an orange roof and brick . I went and found jungle Camouflage by Behr and the trim is a creamy white that I do not have the name in front of me. They look really nice against the orange. Someone also suggested bronze windows which we are considering along with our front door. The orange is definitely tricky .
