New Trim Work for the Range Hood

Updating the look of your range hood can be an easy weekend project that will bring the entire kitchen a brand new look!

I was trying to freshen up the look of my kitchen. Five years after a big makeover, there were some issues that I wanted to address. Painting the kitchen island a brand new color was the first part.

It all began when I found the corbels for the island. 
I quickly installed them and gave the entire island a light gorgeous new color.

Then, the barstools that I was using for years didn't really go with the new style the kitchen island sported so, the barstools got a makeover too.

While in the middle of painting the island I noticed the cabinets a bit more than usual and remembered I wanted to have both of them opened. They looked like plain door-less cabinets so, the cabinets got a custom look.

Once I was done with the cabinet's top treatment, the range hood was my next victim. :)
That little trim on the front was something I wasn't fond of.

So, I removed it. Good thing I glued those little pieces after painting the range. It was somewhat easy to remove them and there wasn't much damage to the surface.  Anyways, the holes were filled and the whole area was cleaned and sanded very well.

This time I wanted to add the trim in a tapered way, the one before was too square-ish, Some trial-and-error was necessary.  I didn't want it too slanted.

Once again, the small pieces of trim were glued on with Superglue. And it was ready for the next step...

  2. Hi I am wondering if you've considered papering the inset of your cupboards? I am thinking of doing this myself. You are so very fearless! Love what you've done. Where did the wallpaper come and can you feel the texture?

    1. Thanks Karen! Yes, I did consider papering the inside of the cupboards but thought it would be too much. I also added beadboard to the inside of the kitchen island's shelves. I bought the wallpaper at Amazon, I can feel the texture, the lines. Overall it's a soft paper with a foam-like texture even after painted. I'm editing the post to add a link to this product.
      Thanks for the" fearless" comment, I wish it were true! ;) I think once you begin diy'ing, many of the projects begin to look less intimidating than when you haven't done anything.

  17. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the new look! But I'm a sucker for open cabinets and beadboard wallpaper! BEAUTIFUL! (And I didn't think it could get prettier! )

  18. I LOVE your kitchen. I don't usually like open cabinets, but yours are an excellent use of space and the small details, like the arch, make me completely love it in this case!

    ReplyDelete
  19. I love the redo! Great simple ideas. I have a question regarding the little arch trim pieces you installed at the top of the open cabinets.you had said you don't have a big saw so I figured you must of purchased them precut What are they called, who makes them and where can I get some!!
    PS Thank you so much for including the type of layered trim pieces you used. So many people don't and it is impossible to figure it out from a picture! Well done!

    1. Thanks Julie! I don't have a big saw, but those top pieces on the cabinets were done using a jig saw. You can DIY them. They do need a good sanding after you cut them.

  20. I have a question, where the controls for the fan and lights? Do you have to reach up in the hood? Does that feel awkward?

    ReplyDelete

    1. Hi Heather, Yep, the controls are there under the hood. No, it doesn't feel awkward.

  21. Now that you've had the hood installed for a few years, are you still happy with that model? Getting ready to purchase an insert. I need good exhaust but I don't want a loud one. I've been spoiled by my Bosch dishwasher. So quiet that the new model has a light that shines on the floor to tell you it is running.

    1. Oh Cindi, sorry for the late reply. I've had this insert for over four years now and these are my thoughts: It's loud, especially the highest settings, which I hardly ever use because of that same reason. It does its job and so far it's being working nicely, but if you're looking for quietness this is not your guy.

  23. where are the controls for your hood- on the front of the hood? Are you able to reach up and get at them?

    1. Hi there! The controls are underneath and towards the front part of the hood. Yes, I can easily reach to them. You can check how that lower part of the hood looks in some pictures in the following post: http://www.remodelandolacasa.com/2012/01/how-to-build-range-hood.html
