I'm going through similar feels as Detroit while pickling out surfaces for our first floor reno.

This 8" wide plank that we chose earlier. White oak, clear varnish. I went full over it and she says:

"That hardwood is not happening worst colour out there"

[Tar]

Dude, brick veneer backsplash is all over pinshit. She showed me. It's all the rage for a "rustic" (I'm so sick of that fucking word) wall treatment in the kitchen. Why? I have no idea.

I've been pushing hard for porcelain tile. That's "boring" and "overdone" apparently.

Holy fuck guise.

LOL, you need the Fax to send in an airstrike and Napalm her with proper architectural sensibility and utility considerations. Dude will also probably want to replace your steam heater with a nuclear reactor.

Bring your passport if you're heading this way.

So we sat down with her pinterest account found a floor we both like. Same product but finished in "bleach white".

Had a bit more good fortune yesterday. Playing with the stud finder I realized that the floor joists above the kitchen are going in a different direction than I had previously thought. The direction in which I could put a vent hood duct through.



One 90-degree from the hood and then an 8-foot run directly outside. Less than ideal, but it should still be very effective.

Oh, I forgot we had a vent fan.

She's claiming this to be the end-all be-all of smoke and grease capture. I keep warning her about the open shelves, and she says the vent fan will solve everything. That and I need to use the splatter screen more often when I cook.

It's always MY fault. I warned her.

At least I'll be able to put the cabinets back up when it's I'm just excited that I can route the ducting for the hood so easy.

Finding a hood has proven to be not so easy. We decided to do a 36" hood over the 30" range, which is apparently 5/7 for catching more crap (which would complicate cabinet install, but whatever)...and I wish stupid GE would make the matching slate hood with more juice than 350 cfm. That'll be nothing when you factor in the ducting. I figure I need 700 at a minimum.

Might just look for a cover and/or make my own out of stupid pallet wood or some shit.

One good bitching at, and a change in cooking methods has solved the problem.

I personally worry that it will get played out in a few years and natural wood is the better long term play but i also and Nicole has good style sense.

Contractor is looking into the finish and will get back to us.

Oh right the hood, we are looking at that too. So apparently nobody does the exposed ones anymore.... pinterest

Now we are shopping for a different type that can be embedded into faux cabinets/facia which weren't in the original quote. Similar to what Wap has in his kitchen. Price for said cabinet add-on is unknown.

Someone needs to shut that sight down.

Going 3" over on each side of the stove is 5/7 and will help a lot. But you definitely want more than 350 cfm. What happened to the copper hood you linked yesterday? Not pinshitty enough?

I made it clear that she's cleaning the shelves and the stuff on them regularly. She agreed.

I have to use that with Michelle. She refuses to read instructions and just does things how she thinks it should be done. "Do you, but anything you break, you're paying to replace or learning to live without it."

That looks good. Michelle is all about white stuff, I think she'd dig hardwood that looks like that.

If we could have, I would have liked to have gotten a 54" hood for my 48" range.

Most womenz will like it so that makes the house marketable if we go to sell. It's kind of a style right now.

I'm still admiring the first sample wishing it would go down. It looks 5/7 in natural light. I'd much rather this stuff (daylight pic below) but Nicole thinks it is too orange.

Going with the white/grey stain does work well with our furniture and maintains a light and "airy" feel to the house that we currently have with light grey tiles and maple wood strip floors.

It just makes sense. The ONE nice thing that these open shelves make available.
