We recently had the pleasure of working with home décor and style expert Kristy Wicks on her stunning kitchen remodel. Kristy shared her insights on working with us and incorporating a custom metal range hood into her new kitchen design. Here's a glimpse into her journey and the beautiful results.
The Inspiration Behind the Design
Kristy and Jeff Wicks envisioned a kitchen hood that would reflect their elegant style while complementing the professional, chef-style kitchen Jeff enjoys cooking in. They wanted a standout feature that felt both elegant and functional. The design team at CCWMD took their initial vision of a curved hood and elevated it, blending finishes to create a harmonious space with stainless steel, brass sconces, faucets, and hardware.
"Jeff and I designed the kitchen hood by incorporating elements that truly reflect our style. The design team took our initial vision of a curved hood and elevated it even further, refining the shape to make it a standout feature." - Kristy Wicks
Collaboration with CCWMD
Our expert team at CCMWD helped guide the project smoothly toward the final design. Kristy wanted a hood that wasn’t too square or too round, and CCWMD delivered the perfect, balanced piece that met their vision.
"Cindy and her team brought a wealth of ideas to the table. They created the perfect, balanced piece - exactly what we had envisioned." - Kristy Wicks
Materials and Finishes
It was important to ensure the hood’s details tied in perfectly with the other features in the space.
"We wanted a painted hood that would seamlessly carry the wall color into the kitchen. Cindy and her team provided amazing options, making it easy to find the perfect look." - Kristy Wicks
Installation Process
CCWMD provided clear instruction, and the installation process was seamless, according to Kristy. Their contractor knew exactly what to expect during the build, making the installation smooth and efficient.
Final Results
Kristy and Jeff are absolutely in love with their kitchen hood. The thoughtful design and craftsmanship make it a standout feature that ties everything together beautifully.
"We are absolutely in love with our kitchen hood - it has exceeded our expectations in every way. It’s the true jewel of our kitchen, adding both elegance and character to the space." - Kristy Wicks
Advice for Homeowners
Kristy advises homeowners planning a kitchen remodel to consider the hood as a centerpiece rather than an afterthought. By thoughtfully selecting the style, materials, and finishes, you can create a statement piece that reflects your personality while ensuring top-notch performance.
"It’s a key design element that enhances the overall aesthetic and serves an important functional role in cooking." - Kristy Wicks
Looking Back
Kristy and Jeff prioritized the design of their hood from the very beginning, and they’re glad they did. Working with a team early on allowed for a smoother process, ensuring the hood fit perfectly into their vision.
"We wouldn’t change a thing - it was one of the best decisions we made for our space." - Kristy Wicks
A Happy Chef
We asked, ‘does Jeff’s cooking taste even better under the new CCMWD range hood?’
"Absolutely! A well-designed hood creates a joyful cooking experience, making for a happier chef and ultimately, better food." - Kristy Wicks
We’re delighted to have been a part of Kristy and Jeff’s kitchen renovation journey. Their custom metal range hood is a testament to the beauty and functionality that thoughtful design can bring to a space. Thank you, Kristy, for sharing your experience with us!
