Under the hood: Style, power and a purr
Homeowners are investing in all areas of the kitchen, including the ventilation system, as it becomes the main gathering place for families and friends. The range hood needs to match the size and features of the stove or cooktop. Decorative hoods such as this one combine style and function. This 60-inch island hood (Vent-A-Hood CILH9-2+260) has a price tag of about $4,800. (Courtesy Vent-A-Hood via Charlotte Observer/MCT)
