My custom made kitchen cabinets were installed and I didn't like the way they dominated the entire space, SO ...
I hired a local handyman and by noon of the next day I owned the perfect kitchen. We moved a cabinet to a better location. We reduced the size of some of the cabinets so they would not jut out so far.
With the left-over lumber we built a new cabinet and with the oversized facades for the oversized refrigerator (we purchased a smaller one) we built a brand new corner pantry. We even had enough lumber left over to build a cabinet so I could hide my washer and dryer.
And then, I asked him to build me a chimney piece. Out of plywood he fashioned the hood. He measured once, adjusted the angle once, and it was done.
All that was left for me to do was to paint a tile mural to cover the plywood.The uprights you see are architectural fragments made of cast cement. I simply painted them with acrylic paints.
