The exhaust/ventilator is made by Broan. I originally replied to this comment awhile back but because I included the dot com address HGTV removed my comment - sorry about that. I can't remember which of the two models we purchased but it's either the L400K or the L500K Losone Select Ventilator ceiling/wall mount 120V. It was less than $400. It's very quite and very effective. In fact, when it's hot in the summer we use it almost like an attic fan to cool the kitchen (we do not have ac. I find the Broan website a bit difficult to navigate but they have a wonderful technical team that answered all my questions and made the right recommendation for our kitchen. Best wishes to you in your kitchen remodel.

sorry - typo - the exhaust is very quiet

What a beautiful job. I was wondering How the exhaust fan is working for you. Isn't it to far away from the stove top? I love your kitchen so much I want to do the same thing but Im afraid the exhaust won't work right. Did you get the exhaust from Loews also?

BEAUTIFUL KITCHEN!!!! Superb job!!! Looks like something right out of a Home & Gardens Magazine, but also very warm and joyful. Great job! I love the chandelier in that breakfast area; great decorator touch. I enjoyed seeing your postings.

Thanks for the compliments! I have two young boys so when they are on the window seat the pillows come in handy. I put the pillows on the floor just in case anyone rolls off the window seat. And I cook enough to serve breakfast, lunch and dinner every day so the placemats are high on functionality for our family. It's so amazing to be cooking in this beautifully transformed space. I thank the good Lord and my husband for all the support in this remodel. And thank you for your kind words and ranking.

What a wonderful job you've done with this space. The sunlight you now get is the icing on the cake. The window seat and that wall are terrific. Okay, I'd personally prefer to see the valances done in that print fabric you have on the pillows, but that's just me, and I have to agree that you don't need both cloth and placemats, just one. Even so, it's a gorgeous space. Congrats.

I like the soothing colors. The valances with sheers are very pretty. I would have to have some kind of privacy curtain option for the patio doors. The place mats are not needed on top of that pretty table cloth. There are way to many pillows on the window seat. All in all i think the room does deserve a 5.
