Love the range! - Is it possible to use a microwave over the 36" range instead of the hood? I need to conserve space. »

Futuro Futuro Kitchen Range Hoods Even though it is possible to use a "microhood" (combination microwave & range hood), it's not a good idea from the ventilation standpoint, for several reasons.

1.) Microhoods typically have very low-power blowers. 200 CFM is not going to make much of a difference, especially if you cook a lot. Average full-size (standalone) range hoods have at least 400-500 CFM, usually more.

2.) Microhoods are not designed with comfort in mind, and tend to generate noise in the 6-8 sone range, which is very uncomfortable.

3.) The filters on microhoods tend to be relatively thin, with 1-3 layers of mesh. This does not filter well, and tends to wear out much faster than the 6-layer, metal-framed filters on full-size range hoods.

Last but not least, microhoods don't offer anything in terms of design. With a full-size range hood, you have a choice of 100's of styles and designs, so you can outfit your kitchen with a "centerpiece" designer range hood that expresses your individual style. Take a look at our website, www.FuturoFuturo.com, to get an idea of what you'd be missing if you go with a microwave range hood :)

Rebekah Zaveloff Lots of people don't have a choice and do a mw/hood combo. Check out my upcoming ideabook on microwaves. But as Futuro Futuro points out, ventilation is better when using a real hood.

I've bought a decorative tile that I have to use selectively (as small accents but not across the entire backsplash as it will darken the space) - so I was on the site checking out ideas on how to use it - I see you used a decorative tile just as a small layer along the counter, and then up to the hood - this looks great, but I'm curious about functionality - exposed walls easy to clean around the stove and backsplash under upper cabinets or would having tiled all the way up have been more practical? »

Gelcys Nielsen thanks so much for the response! googling now!

Chandani I agree with Shawn. Using a plain tile along with the accent tile will also make it look more finished. Try to keep the dimensions of the tile the same, though, otherwise it might look busy. Another slightly different option is to put the accent tile above the stove like you have it, but instead of it spanning he entire width of the stove and going up to the fan, you can do a rectangular feature above the stove and trim it with a finishing tile.... so that it looks like a framed picture.

Why don't we see more stainless steel work restaurant-style tables used in home kitchens? They are very inexpensive when compared to other island options. I want to use one in our traditional kitchen, but will warm it up with baskets and some type of light fixture and possibly wooden dressers or smaller wooden islands booking each end. I'm getting a lot of resistance from everyone. »

Annie Thornton I love stainless steel work tables as well as stainless steel countertops for residential kitchens. This photo is a perfect example to show how a more rustic and traditional style kitchen can totally own the look without seeming cold or institutional. For more warmth, maybe wicker or more natural baskets could be a good choice.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Rebekah Zaveloff to Defining a Look: European Eclectic Kitchens
Continue the European feel with an open furniture-style island. You have to give up the closed storage that base cabinetry offers, but you can't deny the impact on the look. Go for something vintage to add texture and a more collected-over-time appeal.
Stainless steel. Looking to add a little bit of restaurant feel to your kitchen but not looking for a major overhaul? Visit your local restaurant supply store (or online) and get a freestanding stainless table or island. They can be used for a kitchen table, for a small bar off to the side, or for a full-fledged island. And of course, add a wall-mounted pot rack or two and show off those kitchen utensils and pans.
added by Lily Gahagan to Flea Market Finds: Wire Baskets
They'll keep items close at hand and easily retrievable when you're in the midst of cooking.
I love this kitchen and all its accessories. You can tell that not only does someone cook here, but also that others gather and keep the chef company. Somehow that cutie rooster up on the vent hood is helping tell this story; he keeps this kitchen from taking itself too seriously.
added by Rebekah Zaveloff to 6 Kitchen Fixes for Nomads
I've painted every apartment I've ever lived in, and there have been more than two dozen of them. I don't regret a single one, and even though my landlords said I'd have to paint it white before I moved out, everyone who came to see it as a potential replacement renter wanted to keep the painting as is, so I never had to! That said, go neutral. Don't get crazy and paint the cabinets orange or green, not only will you get sick of it, but your landlord will make you paint them white before you move out and that's so not worth it.
Pots and pans take up quite a bit of storage in any kitchen. Free up one of those cabinets for something else!
added by Rebekah Zaveloff to 6 Great Places for a Natural Fiber Rug
5. Kitchens. Natural fiber rugs are great for kitchens. They naturally repel dirt and you can take them outside and shake them out. Strangely, I find that having a natural fiber rug underfoot doesn't make me think to take off my shoes and I don't worry about it. I love using them for entrance mats as well as in mudrooms and entryways.
You can also create a U-shaped kitchen by adding a freestanding island to an L-shaped kitchen. In this case, the one end cabinet was turned to face away from the kitchen, and a beadboard end panel was added to allow for a place to intersect the open island. Because the island is open, you have knee space for stools and seating without needing an overhang.
9. French country, modern and industrial style. Country houses are often places where homeowners feel it's safer to ignore the rules and do what they like. There's an attitude of "why not?" And when you let your creativity flow without worrying about its being perfect, you often end up with a much more interesting space. Original oak cabinets were painted white and mixed with an industrial stainless steel island and stools, modern appliances and Mediterranean-style terra cotta tyle with plenty of patina.
