but what kind of wood do I ask for? this is very nice.

Lovely room. Where is the pendant light from? Thanks!

cabinets could well be Ikea

I like the glossy gray cabinet doors under the island countertop. Where are those from?

Cabinetry is built by Omega (omegacab.com) in the Dynasty line. The gray color is Battleship Gray; the cabinet is a standard sheen but appears glossy in places due to the chair material in front of it.
