At that time I was rookie dealing with renovations, overthinking every decision was, perhaps, the reason for taking such a long time! :/ I spent about two weeks painting the cabinets (inside and out), not counting prep work or the waiting time for they to dry well.<br />Thanks for stopping by and for your kind comment!

It has three settings, the lower, number 1, is the one I use the most and I can perfectly have conversations right in front of the stove while using it. Number 2, the noise is louder but still bearable. I've hardly used the number 3 setting, is hard to keep a conversation right there in front of your stove, without the fan being a nuisance. <br />Now, if you need to use that setting, I think you're so busy taking care of what you're cooking that you don't want to have a conversation :) <br />That said, I'm a regular cook, I don't cook fancy stuff that requires venting in those high settings, and that's why for the price of that fan it was a good deal for me.<br />I hope this helps with your decision ;)Cristina Garayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16229690505771934030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618114936688162288.post-62017720731032499222014-03-03T13:24:23.377-05:002014-03-03T13:24:23.377-05:00How has that particular model of range hood insert...How has that particular model of range hood insert worked for you?

I have found the best way to do cabinets is renting a paint sprayer and applying 2 coats of very high quality oil paint. I am partial to Benjamin Moore because it goes on like butter and provides complete coverage with the first coat, leaving the 2nd coat as a durable cover to the paint job. I have visited condos 2 years later and they still look brand new. It makes such a huge impact for such few dollars spent.Debra Russell Fine Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10906126296635142335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618114936688162288.post-13991276204331671262013-03-20T02:38:32.461-04:002013-03-20T02:38:32.461-04:00Nice post,Your kitchen is very beautiful.kitchen c...Nice post,Your kitchen is very beautiful.kitchen cabinets are looking very nice and you select good colors of all things in your kitchen.I appreciate your work.Thanks for sharing.<br /><br /><a href="https://plus.google.com/105342015214393581688/about?hl=en" rel="nofollow">kitchen remodeling Birmingham, AL</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15829606887021342203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618114936688162288.post-67886002758353981302013-02-17T15:07:22.049-05:002013-02-17T15:07:22.049-05:00My kitchen needs an update 8 years after remodelli...My kitchen needs an update 8 years after remodelling.
