The cabinets will be refaced as an espresso brown wide rail shaker. Countertops are being changed to viscostone carrara quartz with superwhite quartzite island. Pics are attached.

I have questions about our range hood and back splash. Due to the extra cost and lack of functionality, we are not adding to the cabinets to reach the ceiling, so the height will be similar.
A new rail will be added on top, but I don't think the height will change by very much. We are changing the backsplash to a glass and stone medley picture attached, will be installed horizontally, pic is vertical and will have it extended up behind the range hood.
The range hood will be vented out the wall, not the ceiling, using the existing exhaust pipe used by the OTR microwave. My questions are: 1. Should we extend the range hood chimney above the cabinets to the ceiling? We may need to get an extension for the chimney if we do that. I think the range hood would need to be put quite high above the stove if we don't get the extension. The crown moulding will need to have an area removed to accommodate the chimney.
How high should we extend the backsplash? Would it look odd to have the backsplash end at the cabinet height if the range hood chimney is brought up to the ceiling? Would it look better to have both the backsplash and hood chimney end at the top of the cabinets?
Thanks for any input! Positioning a Range Hood Q. Once you select the model you like, you could ask the manufacturer what is the ideal distance from the top of the stove to the bottom of the range hood.
