Accenting a neutral palette with bronze tones and distressed wood.

So, I’ve been watching quite a few Netflix true crime documentaries as of late and have found it’s a fantastic way to ensure yourself of a worrisome and tense night of sleep. If you’re looking for one of those stiff-neck next mornings, then those series episode are sure to deliver (for additional discomfort, crack bedroom window enough to allow for cold air entry). Speaking of viewable entertainment, who would’ve imagined that we could watch TV whilst also grabbling into the fridge for your lunchtime ale? There’s some pretty cool technology out there…and we love to buy it! So why not accent your technology with oil rubbed bronze hardware and distressed wood.

Fantastic refrigerators with 4K TV’s aside, we’ve got a kitchen for the ages here. There’s no doubt I’m a huge fan of gray tones, but let me be upfront on this: I typically wouldn’t equate oil-rubbed bronze as the finish de rigueur alongside gray paint, but here then I’d be wrong…dead wrong! Besides, these ORB-legged stools are top-shelf and couldn’t look better…Am I right?

I think it was just last week that I was ranting about the amazing distressed wood range hood in the photo. (That image is likely just below this posting) And it appears I’m still up on that range hood cloud, as this design ties the range hood to the floor here like the well matched shoe/belt combo you might find on an experienced crime fighter like Dick Tracy or Superman (when he’s Clark Kent).

This picture is a perfect depiction of perfect kitchen that quite possibly could have been outfitted with the inventory and expertise of www.WoodworkerExpress.com. There you can find various items on display here like this brilliant faucet, sink, wood range hood, recessed lighting and barn door hardware. Plus there’s always the pulls, handles, and vents. There’s also the organizational items within the drawers and behind the cabinet doors, but you’ll just have to use your imagination to picture those…or you could just boogie on over to the Kitchen Solutions section. As always, help is available and offered to you, so please reach out. If I don’t answer immediately (I will), I’m likely just getting closure on one of these new Netflix true crime dramas.

As always: Keep it moving forward and I’ll be here next Monday…will you?

Add high end style to your kitchen with a Wood Range Hood

Wow! This kitchen here is the bee’s knees as far as I can tell. A gorgeous wood range hood makes this design an instant classic. Almost a gold tint to what all we see here, which would make this a grand place to unveil the secrets of the masterpiece of a meal I often prepare: boxed Macaroni & Cheese! I know there’s likely a wealth of folks feeling a pinch of envy right now, but not everyone is cut out to possess such culinary gifts.

The satin nickel hardware pieces (and faucet) are doing their job when it comes to projecting a ‘high-end’ look to the kitchen. The satin nickel cup pulls and matching knobs/handles also have a hand in all of this upgrading, as well. You probably won’t, but don’t miss the coordinated/matching satin nickel ‘pot-filler’ faucet above the stove top. I’ve never owned one, but I have spilled water-filled pots all over the floor before, whilst making the careful move (obviously, not careful enough) from the sink to the stovetop. They ARE helpful…this I know. Am I the only one here who learns the hard way from their mistakes? Plus the handy pull-down faucet, essential for any modern kitchen.

Right above that ‘pot-filler’ is perhaps the best part of this kitchen…a Wooden Range Hood. These range hoods are available in a wealth of quality materials and finishes, as well as being sold in complete kits, which include the ventilator.

Whatever it is you’re interested in adding to or modifying, www.WoodworkerExpress.com is here to help, so feel free to reach out.
