What is a "pretty good"?

Is relocating the microwave the only renovation you're doing to the kitchen?

I think the OP means "hood."

Is this part of a larger renovation, or the only thing you want to change? If it's going to be a full remodel, locating the microwave is part of a bigger plan; if it's a smaller project, do you have a pantry it could move to? Or it can be hung beneath a cabinet orinstalled beloew the counter in the island. The other option would be a microwave drawer.

Omg. Pretty hood! Lol. Not the only renovation. I want to change granite to quartz, paint cabinets white, eliminate soffit, and change the structure of the island a bit.

We put in a drawer microwave in the island. I love it!

What's the width of the set of drawers on the island? You can modify that cabinet to fit a Sharp Microwave.

Width of island drawer opening is 16.75”.

Do they make decorative hoods that are cabinets that “hide” the microwave?

I don't see any soffit in your pictures. Am I missing something?

Oops! I always thought that space between the cabinets and the ceiling was called a soffit. In any event, I’ll be getting rid of that space with Moulding.

Duh thanks for explaining "pretty hood". I was apparently a little thick the day I responded. Do you have a walk-in pantry? You have a ton of cabinets, maybe it would be easier to modify one of those for a microwave than in the island? Or do you use the double ovens? Could one be replaced with a convection microwave?

I'd look to conceal the microwave altogether on a pull out or false pantry door to give more focus on the rest of design (instead of appliance). I like the above idea on a 'hood' to conceal.
