Jennifer of Décor Gold Designs is an interior designer, home décor/lifestyle blogger, and photographer. On her Instagram and blog, she regularly shares ideas for making homes more beautiful. Classic Custom Metal Works and Design recently designed, fabricated and installed a one-of-a-kind brass hood for her new kitchen. Below is an interview with Jennifer highlighting her experience.
Can you share your initial inspiration and vision for your kitchen design?
My kitchen was designed in my mind long before we decided to build a new home. For years, I dreamed of a wall of windows with a statement range hood. This was incorporated into the plans from the start.
How did you decide on incorporating a custom metal range hood from CCMWD?
I knew CCMWD offered fully custom hoods at an amazing level of quality. One look at their portfolio, and I was certain this was the right company for me!
What was the collaboration process like with CCMWD during the design phase?
The process was wonderful. From the first conversation with Cindy, I felt like I was speaking to a friend who would be so happy to help me throughout the process. She was completely invested in providing support and guidance.
Were there any specific features or details you wanted to include in the hood design?
Before my first conversation with CCMWD, the only thing I knew for certain was the color scheme I wanted to incorporate, stainless and brass. They guided me to the design that I ultimately chose by offering several beautiful design options and chats as needed.
Tell us about the materials and finishes you chose for the range hood.
After seeing multiple designs in my desired color combination, I found that CCMWD was able to closely match my range finishes, which worked perfectly for my design.
What factors influenced your decision?
Our oven is quite lovely, and I wanted a range hood that would be equally beautiful. Also, the kitchen design called for an exceptional focal point on the main wall. The brass tone added much needed warmth to this large wall of soft gray marble tiles.
How did the installation process go? Were there any challenges or surprises along the way?
It went very well!
Now that your custom metal range hood is in place, how do you feel about the final result? Does it meet your expectations in terms of both functionality and design?
IT IS STUNNING! It elevated my kitchen in a way that I never could have imagined. I love it!
What advice would you give to homeowners planning a kitchen remodel, specifically regarding choosing a stove/range hood?
If possible, design a space that allows your range hood to be a focal point in your space. CCMWD can build a range hood for you that is truly a work of art.
What would you do differently, if anything, next time?
I wouldn’t change a thing!
About the hood
The seven-sided angled corner range hood was made of solid brass with hand-applied antique patina finish. The stacked horizontal brass and brushed stainless-steel trim elegantly complemented the mixed metal finishes throughout Jennifer’s stunning kitchen.
