If you can't find an off-the-shelf range hood that suits your kitchen, you can build your own from scratch-or you can take an easier route, as we did. Archways & Ceilings offers many range hood designs that you can size perfectly for your space.
Once you have chosen your design and have supplied dimensions (following the instructions on its website), Archways & Ceilings cuts all the parts for your range hood kit and ships it to your door. You assemble the hood and then finish it as you wish. On the following pages, we'll walk you through the steps to install it.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR HOOD
Archways & Ceilings offers an array of possibilities for customizing range hoods. Bella, the style we chose for our kitchen, is just one option.
The company also makes curved framing kits for archways, ceilings and walls, or "your hard-to-build stuff."

9 ALTERNATIVE USES FOR SAWDUST
Every fully stocked wood shop has a table saw. You can usually find a pile of sawdust under it, even if it's used only occasionally.
