Fantastic Vent Hoods(22)

When a classical colonial home was renovated, the kitchen work area was relocated to the center of the house, adjacent to a family room. Because the kitchen is now a primary living area, the homeowners downplayed the vent hood with a furniture-like mantel treatment above the range and a casually elegant mosaic tile backsplash in subtle caramel tones.
