About one month after we moved into our ten-year-old dwelling, our range fan went out. We checked out a new fancy one and didn’t like the value one bit. We determined to purchase a good however plain fan after which to cowl it with a DIY hood. We love the ultimate end result, and it saved us about half the value of a fancy hood.
We made positive to make the brand new hood in the identical model as our present kitchen cupboards. I feel they’re shaker.
My husband was the engineer/carpenter on this undertaking, and I used to be the painter. He began out constructing a easy wooden field that he took all the best way to the ceiling. Then when he put the trim again, he ran it across the entrance of the field.

That is what the previous fan seemed like earlier than the DIY “upgrade.”
As soon as all the trim was on, we added finials and a shelf that might be excellent to brighten in response to the season. We sanded, primed, and painted, and it’s a great addition to our dwelling.
