I am so happy to be able to write this post about our new kitchen hood.\u00a0 To give you the back story, we never had any issue with our kitchen fan and the way it looked.\u00a0 I liked it, and it was already much fancier than the one in our last house. \u00a0 Apparently, it had issues with us, though. After about a month after we moved into our house, the fan stopped working. \u00a0We had a repair man check it out, and he said it was dead and that the time had come to order a new one.<\/h3>\n

\"Painted<\/h3>\n

(This before shows the old fan and the back splash before we painted it.)<\/p>\n

\u00a0One thing we did notice after living in our house was the molding was not centered with the hood. \u00a0On the right of the hood it appeared that they ran out of molding, and it always looked a little “off.”\u00a0 We then started looking at hoods and were shocked by the prices.\u00a0 So, we decided to buy a hood insert<\/a> and build our own custom hood.\u00a0 It turns out that even after buying the insert and the supplies, we saved hundreds of dollars, and we ended up with a new custom hood that we LOVE.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

I was lucky enough to marry a really handy guy who can figure out how to make something and then do it.\u00a0 He is totally self-taught. #keeper\u00a0 Building a new fan box was all Yankee, and I came in for the painting and finishing touches. \u00a0I didn’t take many pictures along the way, but here are a few I took with my phone. \u00a0The easy part was installing the new insert fan.\u00a0 We knew the design would be the same as the design on the cabinets which is Shaker (I think.)<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Overall, Yankee didn’t think the project was too hard other than the little details.\u00a0 The toughest part was the molding and trying to reposition it on our tall ceilings.\u00a0 It was hard to do in places even with a ladder.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Custom<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Here the crown molding is back up, and that really started to add the finishing look. \u00a0We wanted to add a little shelf to the hood. \u00a0Or I should say,\u00a0 I<\/span> wanted to add a shelf so I could decorate it. \u00a0We also thought corbels would be a nice addition.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Custom<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Once the shelf and final details were up, then it was my time to really get to work and paint. \u00a0It is amazing how much we can get done during nap times on the week-ends.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Custom<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

It is so fresh and airy, and I just love the look. \u00a0I also love that our house has a working fan now.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

After a few days of not having anything on the mantel, I relocated the FALL bottles from the dining room fall decor<\/a> to the mantel, and I think they are perfect for fall.<\/h3>\n

You also get a sneak peak of our new island.\u00a0 Since we took these photos, it has gotten its update.\u00a0 You get to see it soon.<\/h3>\n

Well, there you have it…. another update to our kitchen. \u00a0I love seeing how our kitchen has evolved with really not doing that much other than some paint and a little construction. \u00a0It now feels more us.<\/h3>\n

I just love it, and the important thing is to love your home.\u00a0 We are hosting Thanksgiving this year, and this room will be getting quite the work-out.\u00a0 Thanks for reading and following along in our little kitchen update process. \u00a0Next up will be a closer look at our new kitchen island.<\/h3>\n
