A few years ago i bought a very run down mobile home and i started rebuilding it from the steel/iron frame up. Ill include a few pics of the in between in the comments, but this is my kitchen finally completed. I rehabbed some used cabinets and built a good bit of them from scratch as well as the cabinet doors. This is my first time building anything at this level. Many mistakes were made, but i learned alot.

    Thanks! It wasn’t my first choice, but we had to make some concessions based on space. I wanted to keep the counters as free as possible and storage is at a premium so microwave hood vent it is. I just liked the profile of that one more than a full size one above the stove.

      Fair. That’s why they make all kinds.

      Whirlpool has a new “flush mount” over-the-range now as well, which is taller but only 12-7/8" deep to the face of the door. That one is taller than a typical OTR but shallower. They allege it doesn’t “need” a turntable and it hasn’t got one, but I remain skeptical.

      I do dig the rustic plankwork above it. Goes well with the butcher block countertops. I’m trying to talk the missus into letting me do butcher block when we redo ours. Everyone is all starry-eyed over granite nowadays, but granite is a pain in the ass and if you fuck it up that’s a $5k replacement. But I can work with wood any old time, all day long.
