Building the range hood was a bit daunting when I first started to think about the design and build. I ended creating a simple frame to start and adding some shape to the sides to create a silhouette that was both soft and structural!

[@janiceduhan3315]

Drew’s skills have exponentially increased. This vent hood is next level.

[@stevebullock2281]

I HAVE CONCERNS. 😂 1) the vented hood came out spectacular! 2) what if the vent hood needs service. Such as motor problems or electrical issues? How will you go about accessing that portion of the vent hood without ripping it all out first? 2) with the vent hood so high above the range and the shelf above it, will smoke, steam etc., still be able to be directed into the vent hood?

[@ECris9]

I personally would have brought the hood further down to where the marbel shelf is now, and only add shelf slates on each side of the hood. Usually, it's mentioned in the instructions manual the optimal distance between the stove and the hood (to me, it seems a bit too high up) Also, even though it would have kind of ruined the aesthetic, I would have opted for the front panel to be a door, so that I can access if necessary. But other than that, visually, it looks stunning. You always have great ideas!

[@erinmoore9681]

Marble is not combustible, so I’m not mad at the shelf. For some reason I thought the rail was for spatulas and ladles. The pots may get some splash back. Performance is not too much of a concern. We don’t know the range Drew selected. So it’s impossible to make recommendations without doing a BTU conversion to CFM’s and look at the clearance. People are too quick to judge in the comment section.

[@cruelaz]

yeah I don't think if it will be effective if it's so high up. We have shelves either side aswell but in the middle the hood or else it would be to far away to do anything.

[@jmcaulay577]

I think the hood looks great. I am worried about the height and effectiveness of the hood also. I wonder if the fan vibration would crack the plaster or the cooking fumes and grease will stick to it and make it hard to clean. You might find a custom vent hood made of stainless steel in the future. One more thing…I don’t know what the code is in CA but where I live there are height and material codes because of fire. I do hope it works for you as I think your ideas are beautiful. I just want everything to work out.

[@hllymchll]

@@erinmoore9681 they just gave their opinion based on observation. it was pretty neutral and didn't come across as judgy at all

[@erinmoore9681]

Good points on both sides. We’ll see what happens when the kitchen is done. The insert can always be replaced with something more powerful if Drew notices performance issues. No hate, just thoughts.

[@fianorian]

Love all the curves. They reflect the arched doorways beautifully.

[@Malenassaura]

You're doing such a great job at honoring your house's heritage and still making it stylish. Simply beautiful!

[@Nasalkeihpos]

Drew, it looks gorgeous! I fear it’s too high up and too far in for it to be very effective for cooking though. I hope I’m wrong

[@robinmp8300]

Those are VERY strong vents, my parents had one, sucks the piolet light off so dont think its gonna be much of a problem, smoke rises, it wont stay below the shelf

[@tracygarrett3952]

@@robinmp8300 I would love to see that shelf removed! No real purpose and too thin for a primarily decorative feature. Any shelf in the house should be twice that thickness if not more. MaCenna added trim piece to make her bookcase shelves appear thicker. Turned out great.

Short answer is we don’t know if your wrong. Let’s see what stove Drew puts in. I have positive aspirations. I can’t say the same for the comment section. Lol

[@scnordlund]

Its lovely vent hood! A bit too high for my preference, but to each their own - as long as its up to code. I do think you will regret not building in a way to access the vent.

[@kiki29073]

Yes. Hood vents need to be at a certain height to actually work correctly. And also vents need to be cleaned so need easy access but, by that time he will have money built up again to afford a new one instead of cleaning this.

[@capridovonrenislam4128]

I don't like that round thing, I guess I don't like art deco so that may be the reason, it doesn't go with the style of your house IMO. First time I don't really like one of your ideas but kudos to you for the hard work.

[@helenalantz4199]

Drew I have to be honest with you - I don't like it. It looks too bulky and it's distracting. It's also going to be hard to replace. BUT, at first I wasn't sure about the color of the cabinets either and now I love it. The rod looks absolutely amazing, but everything will get dirty when cooking. If I were you I would've put the rod on the other side of the kitchen where it won't be so cramped. Good luck with the rest of the renovation!

[@MD-ef7nl]

Why do you have a shelf in-between your overhead vent and your cooktop? This is not normal or is it in America?

[@bethbellomy7090]

Haha, ventilation removes the HOGS -- heat, odors, grease, smoke. You should be running your ventilation every time you cook or all of that gunk will end up covering your cabinets and making them sticky/gross. I love, love, love your design aesthetic, content, personality, videos, and creativity. Thank you for all of that. There are a few people who have mentioned the size and the height of the range hood. For the most part, they are correct. Also, you should add up the BTU's of all of the heating sources (burners, oven, etc.), and then make sure your CFM from the vent are adequate to cover all of them. Typically, your ventilation will be one size larger than your range (ie: if you have a 30" range, you'll want a 36" vent hood. There are several reasons why your vent hood might be a fire hazard as well. Someone has mentioned those reasons below me, but now, I can't find it. Signed, a kitchen designer and appliance expert.

[@staceyallard2692]

Who else had to rewind a cpl of times to watch Drew do his happy dance when he got the vent hood up and turned it on??? I loved it! lol Great job Drew!! As always!

You could've hung the pot rack drilling through the shelf instead of drilling into the wall ...

[@crypticlish6717]

@@lauralee2248 that wouldn't have looked as nice and polished tho imo ...

[@lisaakinlabi]

I think some instruction reading and a bit of research would have been optimal for this installation because, that is way too high. Where it is located it will only be a bump on the wall with no real purpose. Top that with no access for repair it's a costly and time consuming mistake.

[@barbarajones9111]

Sorry drew, but there shouldn't be a shelf between the cooker, and the cooker hood.

[@adventurebabyboomer7318]

That looks weird. You should have left it plain for a more modern streamlined look...........

[@MT-un5xq]

Really nice job... My only concern is the grease build up on that shelf? That is the only drawback of having open shelving in a kitchen

[@sharonroy2645]

Exactly

[@aishwaryarathore4937]

As beautiful as it looks, I am concerned about two things in this design: 1. How would you access the hood in case of a need of repair? 2. The shelf running all the way across the width could be a slight barrier between the range and the hood.

[@leonalii1533]

It looks cute and unique! I would personally have wanted the hood to have a lip so you do not see the steel /metal part of the vent. Also in my experience, as many others also wonder about, these things need maintenance so this design does not allow for easy access to repair/change of lamp etc. And lastly I wish I could have had access to these vlogs when I was young, but unfortunately internet did not even exist at that time, believe it or not. Keep up the good work, many of us learn and get inspired by your fearless approach to new challenges. I follow McCenna too, fun that you are friends! Love from Sweden❤️

[@elleturnip]

Why do I just feel like this hood design is revolutionary?! Like how did you take something that is normally so boring and make it SO cool!!

[@lisaa8437]

Why is the shelf blocking the vent? That doesn’t seem efficient.

[@wendytasker9042]

Love the shape of the vent hood! I’m a bit confused though how the marble shelf between the vent and stove top will work. Won’t it interfere with the ‘updraft’ from the vent hood? Won’t the marble and anything on the shelf, get coated in moisture, grease etc from the stove top when the vent hood is on?

[@threegoodeyes7400]

Maybe the kitchen is just for looks. Don’t know how much cooking he does.

[@anblesduke6360]

A vent needs to be sized and located a specific distance from the stove top to be up to code. It looks quite small. I found this out the hard way when I purchased at larger 36” gas range. They had to upsize my vent size.

[@pattir8616]

I was thinking the shelf is blocking half of the fan and is much too high from where the stove top will be to be effective.

[@manedrain]

@@pattir8616 this drove me nuts 😭

[@runriot3598]

Same! I want to love this but between reducing the vent to 4" (which is too small for most hoods), not to mention gas usually needs a 600cfm fan and the shelf/height making the vent basically useless... I can't. Looks aren't everything, especially in kitchens!

[@1195mmg]

My stove doesn't even have a vent. Not even a microwave with a fan over top. Just cabinet.

[@manon2772]

30" above the range if it's electric and 36" over gas... that is a building code requirement and also a requirement from every manufacturer as a vent has limited suction power...when too high it can not do it's job properly!!!

[@sbodolus]

You better PRAY that vent hood lasts FOREVER, otherwise someone will have to destroy the thing to to fix / replace it! I'm also thinking the shelf may defeat the purpose of the vent. Looks nice, just not very practical.

[@oliviadelgrande]

I love your design, but I shutter to think about the vent hood going out and needing to be replaced at some point. 😳

[@xoshaunnicole9698]

If I had a nickel for every time I have heard you and Makenna say “I have no idea what I am doing but we’ll make it work” and then go on to create masterpieces I would be a wealthy woman!

[@leannsmarie]

I wonder what the height of the space is between the surface of the range and the bottom of the range hood. It's not supposed to be more than 36 inches. I know this because we just replaced an over-the-range microwave with a proper range hood in our house we just bought.

[@mel__senpai]

Drew dancing to the sound of the hood vent is everything the world needs and more! 😂❤

[@ElectroT0y]

Drew, you having a shelf between the stovetop and the range hood defeats the purpose of the range hood. The range hood is there to suck out the heat, steam and grease in the air as you cook. The shelf gets in the way of it doing its job. This is a BIG mistake. You chose form over function.

[@dorsvenabili5573]

100% this!!!

[@stacielliott3311]

glad i’m not the only one who thought that! the bottom of that shelf is gonna get SOOOOO greasy/discoloured 😬

[@jere5555]

It’s pretty, but will be greasy

[@robinmp8300]

It might not be a problem, my parents have one like that and the blower is so strong it sucks out the piolet light, so the shelf will help block some of that. Smoke rises, so it wont stay under the shelf

[@nancyjohnson5483]

Yup, particular hood is made to go a specific distance from the stove- look at suction power, noise decibles of fan, etc. Love learning from and with you.

[@maxinebaskerville6020]

What happens if you need to change/repair the range hood?

[@robinmp8300]

I was thinking the same thing.🤨

[@bhavleenk]

Loved it. But I wish the hood came out a little further. Half of it gets covered by the shelf. Wouldn't be much help during cooking.

[@jeannawalton8107]

So Drew is the vent hood the right distance from the stove top, and is it big enough? Will the shelf be a problem that some here feel it might be? It turned out really pretty (and I'm crazy about the brass rod!) but will it function well?

[@isaiahisu]

I just don’t know how I feel about this one …… I always instantly loved your designs but with this one…. I’m not sure

[@kayelle8005]

It looks great but I am slightly confused about whether the ledge will interfere with performance of the extraction fan. From the angle it looks like the ledge blocks it.

[@robinmp8300]

My parents have a hood vent like that, it is so strong that it sucks the piliot light out, so maybe the ledge will help so he can actually use it, smoke does rise, so it will go around the shelf.

[@reneesmith695]

In general, most installations require a distance from 20" to 24" between the bottom of the hood and the cooking surface. Over a gas range, this distance should be between 24" and 30", unless otherwise specified. If the range hood is mounted too high above the recommended height, it won't be able to extract away the fumes. That means you'll have to clean the range hood, your cooktop, countertops, and cabinets more often. In other words, your range hood won't function as it's supposed to.

[@sharonluvisi6069]

20"-24" is too low. It's 30"-36" above the cooking surface.

[@BN-gs5hr]

I love the look, but had the same concern. There's also an issue with a plug in an inaccessible concealed space. It would have been better to hardwire in a safe jbox. Though it's not likely to happen, a plug can fault, spark, etc. and therefore should have some sort of access panel. I don't know residential code that well but that's not allowed at least in a commercial space.

[@paddakoor]

@@sharonluvisi6069 If you have an electric cooktop, range hoods should typically be 20-24 inches above the heat source. For gas cooktops, your range hood should be around 24-30 inches above the stove.

[@ske3230]

yeah, looks high and that marble shelf is blocking the way. Also with moisture and heat, can't help but think there are going to be a lot of cracks in that plaster.

[@carronalee]

🧐🧐Once the stove is installed, no-one under 6’ 5” is going to be able to reach the buttons/switches on the hood. Everyone will have to step on a stool to reach them.

[@AmandaComeauCreates]

Rangehoods have a required height from the surface of the oven, do they not? or they aren't effective?

[@rockshot100]

Lone, I am thoroughly impressed. One of my pet peeves are the range hoods that are oversized, overly ornate and gaudy they become the focal point of the kitchen. It is a fan, so NO sense in making those so ornate and big, they steal the show. This does the job, but is inobtrusive we can now appreciate the other things going on in that room. At first the curves seemed unnecessary but they really help to blend the hood into the wall and that architecture, making it even more subtle. Also very impressed with the way you built it, now with the box the noise should be greatly reduced. I have never heard of "poly board either, but what a great thing, this would take forever to use drywall. This design and execution could not be improve upon. Maybe use a metal drywall corner bead for the bottom lip, so it is not easily chipped (the same thing you would use on an arch)? Congrats Lone and much respect. Anybody could use this design idea, even without the curves, and painted the same color as the walls. It has an adobe vibe, in keeping with your Spanish house, but without the curves, it would not be. The beauty is in the simplicity. WOW, Fantastic. A++++

[@vonndee6713]

Very nice. My only concern is - what if the hood goes out? Do you have a plan on how to get it out of its cage? I would so hate to see any damage to your hood covering. Truely enjoyed watching.

Just bought a house and it's a new build so very builder grade....ugh, I know. There's so much I'm going to do to the house to make it more custom but one thing I'm doing for sure is to remove the microwave from above the stove (literally hate that....not sure why anyone would think that's ok). I'm going to replace it w a vent and was seriously considering doing a plaster custom vent hood cover, to hide the hood but also to look beautiful and match my off-white cabinets. Then I saw this video. It's fate. I'm sold on this beautiful style and cannot wait to make my own. Thank you for the beautiful inspiration!

[@debschreiner3600]

It looks utterly fabulous! I love it. The only thing I would change would be to recess the hood liner into the bottom of the hood cover. You had the space inside to mount it higher, then you wouldn't be able to see the stainless so readily when standing on the ground (because the edge would have a longer lip on it). That said, it still looks wonderful and it's always easier tossing out what if's from my chair. Your home is going to be stunning when you're finished!!

[@NailahRoberts]

Shouldn't that cooker hood be the other way around so the vent clips are at the front???

I think this looks really good, however, this is a really DANGEROUS installation and not effective. DO NOT RECREATE THIS IN YOUR OWN HOME. 1. It is VERY dangerous to use a plug-in connection in a permanent installation as it creates a fire hazard. 2. The height of the hood renders it completely ineffective; it's way too high.

[@diurnyr.80]

Hi, Drew the range hood turned out amazing and the style goes well with your home, you're very creative and you're not afraid of trying new things, however I think you should lower the range hood to where your marble backsplash end, It will funtion, flow and look aesthetically better. That means sacrificing the marble shelf.

[@IGuess...]

You don't think your marble shelves look too thin??????? I bet they would look even upscale and "substantial" if you beefed up the edge profile... Like Athena Calderone's inspirational kitchen....

Have you ever heard the term 'self praise is no recommendation.' Instead of telling us how great your design is it might be a good idea to hear/read viewer's feedback, this VLOG sounded rather self-congratulatory, and a tad narcissistic, you might want to tone the ego down a little, it's a bit of a turn-off at this end. I'll probably get blocked for what I've said, but oh well, never mind, I'd rather be straight up as opposed to a sycophantic follower. I do like a lot of what you have done in the past, but the lack of humility is starting to get a little over the top! Sorry, but I think this particular job is a very sloppy. You may be able to hide the inside, but I'm not sure shoddy workmanship is the best way going forward. I feel confident in saying that I believe you can do better than this! You might have been better to use an adjustable metal band to hold the range-hood duct hose in place. Not impressed at all, and that hasn't always been the case, because I know you can do better!.

I'm really impressed with this, Drew. It's amazing. Perfect choice. Well executed. I really love this with the arches and plaster. Perfection.

[@3Oh3metrostation]

interesting and creative idea. I believe you can also use drywall instead of the poly board. I heard u say that the reason was because poly board is more flexible but drywall can also be made into curves by scoring it and the plastering to perfect rounded pieces. Unless of course there was another reason for your choice, then I would LOVE to know. I think this is an amazing idea. I've contemplated ways to update my mom's range hood without spending thousands for one of those industrial sized ones. Strongly considering this as an option. Many great ideas! Thank u for being bold enough to go for them 🤗🤗

You are so unbelievable handy and creative, it blows my mind 👏🏼

[@Gromobran]

Thats too high. And that shelf is now at the wrong place. If you take off shelf and put marble up to that thing you created, it would look lovely. Edit: also, you obviously have no experience of cooking food, that rod and pots will be greasy in a matter of month, if you decide to cook :-) practical part is missing and thats why people going to school to be proper designers

[@kathleencassel1350]

I love how you had to style the space so we could all see your vision even while it was still drying and in need of another coat. It is so much fun to find someone who thinks like I do about making things beautiful!

[@LisaLou4sho]

Looks fabulous! Just thinking what if the fan parts need work done or replaced and there's no access? Maybe the answer is obvious and I'm not seeing it. 🧐💕

[@thatssoreagan1]

You always do beautiful things and create beautiful design, but sometimes you seriously blow my mind and anyone else out of the water! This is one of those times, this is amazing 😍 There is no one like you Drew!!

[@centralWisconsin1]

-central Wisconsin: Drew, you never mentioned when you were securing the bracket that will hold the fan hood, or when you were screwing any of that hood frame into the wall or ceiling, that you were screwing into studs. I hope you were vs drywall. I just thought I’d mention it, so in future videos, you can remind people to be sure to screw into studs. as for newbies doing at-home renovations, this could be a valuable piece of information/reminder.

[@AshlynManghane]

I fall in love with your style with each video! How insanely beautiful is this kitchen?! Wow.

[@knottyneedle]

I agree with a lot of the comments below. While the design is quite interesting and I like it, I think the vent is too small for the size of the oven he will be putting there. Also, if there is any maintenance needed for the hood, or if it has to be replaced, it's going to be difficult and all that will have to be demolished.

“It’s giving ventilation” made my whole holiday season ❤

[@colinboiTM]

Looks good, however.... What happens if it breaks and needs fixed or repaired? You have boxed it in completely with no opening or any way to get to it??

[@CINRZ]

It looks so gorgeous 😭! Im absolutely loving seeing it all together!

[@thethrifterpicker-upper3584]

Not to be "that guy"....but this wouldn't pass codes. Fire hazard. Needs to be lower. You need an access to service it, and the shelf needs to be gone for proper ventilation..

[@alisharwood7589]

All the way from Australia here…Drew this is beyond impressive! Long time watcher, first time commenter but I HAD to chime in here because this is truly inspiring. I genuinely love watching your creative process and would love for you to share some more details of your planning process and where you are drawing your inspiration and influences. I’m so happy for your success, you could not be more deserving. Absolutely stunning!

[@catieprice3179]

I think it looks stunning! If I had the patience I think I might actually be able to do this. One word of caution though, it's a good idea to check local ordinances cause many don't allow wood to be used above a stove unless it meets minimum allowances, meaning it must be more than so many inches above a heat source otherwise it presents a fire hazard. Just be careful. Great job! Love it!

[@patricklilly]

I’m impressed. I’ve renovated several homes and would never have the nerve to try what you did. Well done and conceived!

[@amiem6480]

Just curious. Drew are you not concerned about bed bugs with fabricated furniture that you found outside? I would be leary of why people leave/abandoned furniture outside. Please be careful I’ve heard horror stories.

[@g.d.anonymous8235]

Drew is an interior creative, or decorator. He's not licensed, so he would not have to have been tested to know all the codes. He is so creative and such a visionary, I wish he'd get his Interior Design degree so he can further his talent and passion in between being a KZbinr. Drew and MCenna are one of a kind!

[@MJ_X2]

Who needs a degree when you're so baller you can buy a historic home in LA to renovate and teach yourself while you earn money from people watching you learn? Lol

[@Gemmythebulldog]

@@MJ_X2I love your comment. I'll tell drew you said that. Happy new year!!

[@g.d.anonymous8235]

@@MJ_X2 You don't get it.

Height of your range hood will affect its efficiency, as will the obstruction created by the shelf you installed. Range hoods not only take out steam but pull out way more cooking oils than you would ever expect, even if you do not fry! There is a reason that kitchen surfaces are usually glossy because they are the most cleanable; rough and/or sanded surfaces will be a bear to clean on a repeated basis.
