This is the kitchen of the house im buying. The darker wood is the after. The current owner removed the doors and nailed the dark wood over the frame. Side panels were built to bring the box to the ceiling, cut the white crown, and added the gray crown. My plan is to remove the microwave and install a hood vent and then vent it outside (exterior wall but not vented currently). Heres my options.
1. Buy a vent that sits under the cabinet. Reattach doors (they are in the attic), then build dummy doors above the ones that open. Or build new doors that are taller, or something along these lines. I dont care about storage in that cabinet necessarily, aesthetics are more important.
2. Build a range hood and install an insert.
Opening is 30"
I would prefer gray paint to match cabinets but open to natural wood if I build it.
I like to cook so I want it vented outside. I installed one at my current house, cut the hole, ran piping to outside through the garage and love it. I can sear a steak inside my house with no odors inside.
Negatives. I cant find that white piece of crown in the house and matching it might be a pain. I cant tell if its two piece or one. So as of right now im planning on keeping the cut crown as it is but I will try to find more.
