| Main thing is that "momma boog" doesn't like the looks of a hood hanging from the ceiling & thinks it will block off the "openness" of the kitchen. She likes having family & guests in & wants to be able to talk to them while finishing preparing the food & feels a hood will disrupt that. The hoods we had looked at were either glass or stainless steel which she felt didn't go with the atmosphere of a 100+ yr old farm house.
Thanks for the offer of allowing us to come see your kitchen. We spent the better part of the afternoon & evening looking at different settups . Found a dealer in IL that sells both appliances & cabinets and had several different settups on display. I think she has decided to go with a Jenn-air 36" downdraft stove top in the island with a raised Bar behind the cook top with room enough for 3-4 people to sit at while she cooks. She also wants to replace her wall convection oven with a wall mount double convection oven. Going to cost more than a downdraft dual fuel oven but not near as expensive as the custom cherry wood hood we looked at. I'll let you know if she changes her mind & wants to come take a look.
Thanks again for taking the time to answer,
boog
