The Look for Less: Kitchen and Bath Bargains

The Old World look doesn't come cheap. A custom-made, Tuscan-style stone or cement range hood costs thousands of dollars and often takes a few weeks to install. Euro Cast Design's Cast Travertine Kitchen Hoods are made of pre-cast crushed travertine, meaning they are not only cheaper—they run between $1,100 and $5,800 depending on which of the six styles you choose, they weigh 70 percent less and can be installed in under half an hour. That means you'll also save a bundle on installation costs and may even be able to put the hood in yourself.
