Hood-winked...

I am loving how hoods in Kitchens are the new focus. And I adore these metal hoods with straps. They seem to be popping up in all the right places.

They can have such an antique, distressed feel.

And come in a variety of metals from pewter to stainless and copper.

They can be hammered looking....

Or clean and elegant.

This contrasting white with stainless straps in stunning.

And the black is fabulous.

If you are doing a new Kitchen or renovating an old one and are interested in these hoods check out http://www.rangecraft.com/ or http://www.the-metal-peddler.com/ . I believe both have custom and standard opportunities.

Happy Cooking!

Cheers,

BBS
