DIY custom microwave range hood?
Comments (1)The simplest solution would be to buy an OTR micro, and do a little extra framing at the back for the duct work. This wouldn't be hard. BUT I'd seriously find a different spot for the microwave. With an OTR micro, you literally have your brain up against the darn thing if you are trying to cook and microwave something at the same time. It's also VERY inconvenient if you are trying to make something on the range top and other people want to warm up their coffee or pop some corn. And OTR microwaves don't tend to last very long: None of mine made it to 5 years. Plus, they cost about twice what a normal microwave does, and the ventilation isn't as good as it could be. I moved my range from an island location to the outside wall when I started contemplating vent issues: didn't want that vent hanging down, blocking the veiws. As far as I know, the pop up vents only work with cooktops, not ranges, due to the ducting....See MoreIsland Range Hoods - Slim, non-stainless, and/or custom?
Comments (2)How about stainless with glass? My kitchen is finished now but I don't have an updated picture. I will work on it. My range hood is a cavaliere and I love it because it was a lot shorter than most range hoods and I have 8 ft ceilings. It is quiet and functions well.

Comments (35)Thank you all for weighing in on this decision. I read each and every comment and you gave me a lot to think about! We ended up going to Bargain Outlet tonight to order different countertop. The Soapstone Sequoia tops that we bought ended up not being long enough (Big oops) and they won't work in the final layout that we settled on. When we changed from a range to a cooktop, we could no longer do the cut for the range, and it threw our measurements off. Somehow we missed that little detail until today until we set the counter on the cabinets and realized it was 6" short. : P (Must have been DIY dilirium.) But...we think it might have worked out for the best. We had bought the counters months ago when a local store was going out of business, and then more recently we got the cabinets. Seeing them together showed us that while they could work, they weren't a super match for each other. When we picked up the cabinets, they came with a few small sections of Bella Noche laminate, and they looked great together. Since we were going to have to order counter anyway, we switched directions and ordered Bella Noche instead. We never would have picked it from the little sample cards, but seeing the remnants with our cabinets helped us to know that we'd like it. While we were at Bargain Outlet, we ordered a 30" wide x 18" tall wall cabinet to place under the short wall cabinet in our layout. Our plan is to leave the doors off of it so that I can have a little bit of open shelving, but it will be boxed in along the side of the range hood like many of you suggested. Playing around with the shelf last night made me realize I could have a lot of fun with an open area there to decorate. We also ordered a glass door for the corner upper to help it feel airier over there om the sea of uppers, and it will give us another spot for displaying pretty serving bowls, too. Colors for the oven cabinet, hood and island remain to be determined. I don't really want to paint all of the uppers at this point. We have a busy family that the factory finish will probably handle better than a home paint job. Maybe someday, though! Now I have to see what colors look nice with both the cabinets and the new laminate. Should I keep it simple and do black? (Our fridge is black... and the cabinet doors have black lines along the details of the trim.) There are flecks of dark blue in this laminate too, although it's hard to see in the sample online.

Comments (17)@Elizabeth C These are measurements of Athena’s kitchen you liked I’m copying the exact same kitchen off Pinterest for my reno. Wood Island. Crystal Quartz shelf and backsplash means we need a 3” shelf. I hope this helps. code is shelf has to be 24” above burners. If you have a finished picture to share I’d really appreciate it. I can’t figure out how stumpy our hood fan is going to look. Hope it went well....See MoreUser
