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.

[@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.

[@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?

[@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.

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!

[@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++++

[@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

[@markita.hardenhome]

Check your local code rules for the recommended distance from the stove to the hood....... or check to see what your stove/oven recommends. It's pretty though

[@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❤️

[@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.

[@Femi-tee]

👆👆👆Congratulations 🎁 🎉 You’ve been selected to receive GIVEAWAY PACKAGE 📦 Text me 👆👆👆to receive prizes 💝 Thanks for watching🤝..

[@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.

[@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!!!

[@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!!

[@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.

Very cool, although I would try to recess the insert a little by adding a second frame to the bottom. Because the hood is so short, the insert really stands out.

[@heathersiu3537]

There's always a point where I remember to hit the "Like" button...and today it was you dancing in front of your newly framed & mounted hood vent that did it 😂 love you so much, and love seeing your home progress! The range hood turned out beautifully!

[@quazylade90]

The hood feature is awesome. Since your house is Spanish style it fits so well. Congratulations.

[@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.

[@mikewaters2]

I recently find your channel and start enjoying your lovely videos. You are very talented! I hope you keep growing your style, love the colors you choose on everything.

[@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.

[@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.

[@drekfletch]

For the detailing around the hood vents, get a piping bag used for frosting. With a small tip, pipe the plaster like caulk.

[@soniaspangenberg8557]

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.

[@CarolYatesWilkerson]

For the record, the person who said the shelf below the hood would obstruct the air flow from the range up to the hood is likely wrong. What I will say is that the thing about the shelves in all the kitchen is that they might collect dust and grease if someone is cooking with it. The underside of the shelf over the range may need additional cleaning for that reason. Please, just let Drew live his dream ❤ 0:03

[@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?

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!!

[@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!

[@Aiko2-26-9]

This is great for a designer who doesn't cook much. But if you love to cook the hood is not enough to do the job. It should be lower and farther out from the wall so it is right over the burners. That shelf and the pots would soon be covered with grease from cooking. And the plaster finish would be so hard to clean. But, as I said, it's fine for Drew and his lifestyle.

[@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!

What came to mind is rustic, love it. Can't wait to see the stove.

OMG, you did an amazing job on the vent hood!!! The styling is chefs kiss🙂

I just love your daring, adventurous spirit and your excitement! I’ll be honest…I didn’t think I would like the vent hood but I ended up LOVING it! You have such a great eye and design sense! Can you come to my house? 😁

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.
