Cedar Gables Inn is a great bed and breakfast experience
My wife and I had the opportunity to spend a wonderful weekend in Napa, CA at the Cedar Gables Inn B&B. The intimacy of our hosts Ken & Susie Pope made us and all the guests of the Inn indulgently comfortable. The intensely charming bedrooms are full of antique furniture, fine linen and art work along with all of the other rooms at the Inn. The favorite meeting spot is downstairs in the lounge where wine and beer are served along with fine cheeses in the late afternoon to welcome new arrivals and those returning from their daily excursions. The social atmosphere is relaxed and allows you to introduce yourselves to guests from all over the world. With your revitalizing sleep, you awake to the wonderful smells of food preparing for the gourmet breakfast held each morning. These delicious breakfasts are prepared each morning by Susie; she used to run a culinary school in Los Gatos for SurLaTable.
We are most fortunate for having visited this fantastic retreat.
I was approached last year by Ken to assist with their kitchen renovation project. Ken & Susie discussed their intentions for their kitchen design with me and I was happy to supply them with one of our copper range hoods, a copper apron sink and a copper prep sink.
Ken & Susie also host cooking classes with distinguished chefs from the Napa region in their new kitchen. You will be able to experience cooking and preparing food with our great copper fixtures!
I can’t wait to try out a class and visit the Cedar Gables Inn again!
Copper Island Hood with Stainless Steel Hardware
Mountains Edge Copperart continues to create beautifully sculpted custom copper range hoods for clients with distinct taste. We have just added a section to our website that features discounted copper hoods. These hoods are mostly premade and prefinished and ready for immediate shipment.
The prices are usually discounted 35-50% from the original custom hood order price. This collection of copper kitchen hoods was formed from non-orders, dimension-changes and some from our showroom stock. Have a look and see if the dimensions might possible work in your kitchen. We will assist you in the selection of the exhaust fans that will work in each of these copper hoods.

Along with our copper range hoods, we also have a dozen or more hammered copper mailboxes in both large and small sizes. The large mailbox goes for $350 and the small mailbox goes for $300. Prices in USD
Each copper mailbox is handcrafted by our artisans from the best materials and will endure a lifetime of use.
Copper wall mounted range hood in bell design
Our coppersmith artisans are creating some of the most beautiful designs in custom range hoods.
Copper range hoods compliment many different design styles such as; Tuscan, French country, rustic, arts & craft, mission, American country, Victorian and modern design. Natural materials like stone and wood seem to be a strong foundation for materials that cooperatively work with copper. We have found that stainless steel integrates best with a copper range hood in the form of rivets, straps or pot rack hardware.
Copper range hood designs are only limited by the ability of the craftsperson. Copper crown moldings, corbels, multi-faceted designs, Repoussé work, hammered textures, creative patina colors and the incorporation of other materials like glass, stone, steel and wood are part of the palette that we, as copper artisans, works with. The copper patinas applied to our copper range hoods are expanding from the warm natural brown penny colors to vibrant patinas exhibiting hues of reds, blues, yellows, purples, silvers and white.
The patina coating on copper range hoods can usually be coated with a lacquer coating that will permanently protect the patina coating. Typically though, patinas are coated with a wax to naturally preserve the patina finish. The periodic application of a wax to the patina surface can help maintain the patina finish. Applying a furniture polish such as Pledge or Orange Glo to copper range hoods with wax coatings will also preserve the patina finish.
Today’s copper range hoods also take advantage of sophisticated exhaust systems in varying capacity, dimensions and ergonomic integration. These exhaust systems are usually supplied in the same brand names as your kitchen range or oven.
Large copper fireplace hood
Outdoor installations of a copper range hood over grilling and BBQ areas are increasingly used to enhance the visual appreciation of the outdoor patio design. Particular attention must be paid towards the proper selection of an exhaust fan able to operate in an outdoor environment as well as the size of the hood and its ability to capture exhausting fumes from the cooking area.
Fireplaces and fire pits are another area that copper hoods are used for an enhanced look as well as the hoods functional properties. Since fireplaces are usually constructed from stone or masonry materials; copper is an ideal complimentary material.
