Looks great! I'd love to utilize wood like that somewhere in the house. Maybe revamp the fireplace or strategically place shelving somewhere thst showcases them.

Sorry, still believe 1/7 practicality.

You did top notch work, though. :like:

Are those shelves just sitting on the pipes or are they attached to them somehow?

Using them as shelving around a fireplace would be a great idea.

I had ZERO say in this kitchen. I just did the work and gave some suggestions (that were ignored) on colors and layout.

TBH, the open shelving isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Dishes stay surprisingly clean, it's really easy to find what you're looking for (I can't remember where anything is my kitchen, I open and close cabinets at least 3 or 4 times looking for what I need), and overall looks decent.

Wap, to your earlier question, the shelves aren't actually attached to the pipes. I bought straps to do so but they ended up being unnecessary. First, they're so heavy that they won't go anywhere, and second when I screwed the end caps on, I did so with the shelves in place. Doing that tightened the caps into the shelves and snugged them into place. They can still move if you try, but they don't on their own easily.

All that said, I really don't care for the "rustic" :gag: look. :tits: would live in a damned tree if she could, but this is just a bit far for me. I prefer things that better fit the character of the house, but whatever. if I was 100% calling the shots, I would have reused our upper cabinets, but cut them down to accommodate the wider vent hood (which is really a 5/7 call), and had doors made with glass in the middle to give a see-through look. Painted the walls a more neutral gray and used a muted green/green subway tile with a fun pattern for the backsplash with a grout color close to matching the walls.

At least the functionality is solid.

yea.....those colors are a terrible combination, sorry bro :gag: . The gray backsplash is good and a light green wall paint would look stellar with it. The reverse would also be true as you suggest, but green tile might get dated quickly.

This is real design (as opposed to pinshit) 101: light colors open up spaces. So in a smallish kitchen with 8' ceilings you should NOT go with dark on dark on dark on dark.

None of the plates and whatnot do, but we go through them too fast I think. Choosing a vent hood larger than the range was also a 5/7 decision. It's amazing how much that thing sucks up, and we've already cleaned the filters in the hood. I think that's where most of the stuff goes.

I"m actually surprised that it's not a more standard practice.

Our highest power burners are on the outside corners of the range. Those create the most smoke, but have the least amount of coverage by the hood. By making the hood slightly bigger, it catches the smoke from those better. I watch the smoke come up and get caught by the edge...if it was the same size, the smoke would bypass it entirely.

The vent hood is by far the best thing we did in the kitchen. It does such a great job over that POS microwave.

Those microwave vent hoods are generally pretty worthless, especially when they vent back into the room. A modern, high powered hood (mine has 4, count 'em FOUR fans) does an :amaze: job at creating dat suck.

Mine actually only has one fan with 3 settings, but the thing is a beast. External venting was the game changer, doe.

Believe it or not, I suggested it. I had to patch the ceiling there (the plaster was falling down from a bad patch job before) and figured I wouldn't have to put as much effort into patching it if I was hanging a big thing there.

She said it would be "too cluttered".

Like everything else isn't?!?
