Beadboard Wooden Range Hoods
We've taken a look at some fancy smancy ultra-modern range hoods before, but maybe you're more interested in something a little warmer than the glass or stainless steel that's prevalent today. This wood range hood from Crown Point Cabinetry is based on their Coventry door style and sports a beadboard front to add texture and interest to the kitchen. Crafted from cherry wood, it has a rich dark red mahogany finish. Its boxy shape allows it to be mounted flush with adjacent cabinets, meaning there aren't any annoying nooks for dust to gather in. The wooden hood is one of several different sizes, shapes, and styles the company offers.
Panini Press "Gourmet Sandwich Grill"
Grilled cheese sandwiches are so 20th Century. Today it's all about the grilled panini (if even Safeway is making something in its deli section, you know it's gone mainstream). A panini press lets you make a grilled sandwich (cheese, ham, turkey, tuna, or whatever strikes your fancy) without the hassle of trying to flip the sandwich over to brown both sides (I don't know about you, but that's usually when half the filling falls out for me). The press also has ridges, so you get those little grill lines, as if the sandwich had been cooked on the backyard barbecue. In my experience, sandwiches made on this kind of grill tend to get done in the middle more easily than when you just use a frying pan or normal griddle. The Cuisinart model shown here is designed to work both as a grill and a panini press, which means you can do more than sandwiches on it (grilled chicken breast anyone?). The review over at Amazon is favorable, and you can buy it there for $80: Cuisinart Grill & Panini Press
Recycled Glass Tiles
Glass tiles are a fun way to decorate the bathroom walls, and these recycled ones let you do it without feeling guilty about using products that leave a footprint on the environment (just in case you are the type to feel guilty about such things). Made by Idaho-based Sandhill Industries, the glass tiles are available in 36 colors, ranging from light to dark and subtle to bright. Each piece is made from 100% recycled glass that would otherwise end up in a landfill. Compared to ceramic tiles, each tile takes less than 1/2 the energy to produce. The recycled glass tiles take less than 1/4 the energy required to produce a normal cast-glass tile. So go ahead and remodel your bathroom, and feel good about the products you use.
