UPDATED New year, new resolution to complete our kitchen remodel!!!!

last month
last modified: 13 days ago

Four years after starting, I am vowing to finish our kitchen remodel. All we need is backsplash and a range hood. I have losted before but no action occurred for a variety of reasons. Now we are set to finish in about 6-8 weeks.

DETAILS;

  • 8' ceilings
  • we cook, but not much and nothing too greasy
  • 38" induction cooktop
  • we have lived without a range hood for four years, so any functionality we get will be an improvement
  • I don't know if we want the backsplash or range hood to be the focal point. I am open to either.
  • I wanted brick backsplash but don't want to clean it. Easy is better.

CURRENT STATE OF AFFAIRS:













Backsplash ideas:









  • these photos show the colors. The layout of the options may be different and I am open to suggestions.
  • Would you make the tile or the range hood the focal point?

Range hood ideas:

  • what shape would you suggest?
  • I love clean lines.
  • I don't want something that looks too squatty.
  • What finish would you use? Drywall? Plaster? Wood?
  • I will be using an insert.
  • I cannot vent it outside without incurring $$$$. Too much! Damn contractor screwed up and we already dealt with the lawyers.
  • Range hood surround will be 40"-42". I want it to work, but am not concerned that it take all the smoke and smell away. I haven't had one for four years so something is better than nothing.
  • We are a tall family and don't want a range hood that juts out too far. I am the shortest at 5'9".









I am hoping there are designers (or those with a better design eye than me) that read this and can provide some guidance to finish this project once and for all. I am open to other design ideas as well.
