Smith & Vansant Architects PC Hello,
The one in the kitchen is a nelson saucer pendant. The one in the foreground is a standard round pendant.
Hope that helps!

Eutree Wide Plank Flooring They almost look like Hickory or White Oak. They look great with the wall system/play fort. joel@eutree.com

Smith & Vansant Architects PC Hello,
These floors are actually yellow birch, 3 1/4" width with a wonderful "green" finish called polywhey from Vermont Natural Coatings. This finish actually comes from the whey in cows milk - nice too because it is local here in Vermont and there isn't the nasty off-gasing like urethane.
Hope that helps!

What Houzz contributors are saying:
The other side of the entry hall housed a sunroom that has been transformed into a playroom for the boys. This castle loft play space is carpeted and has its own light, making it the ultimate fort. It also utilizes a thick zone in the form of these deep bookshelves down the side, which helps create a niche for the ladder.
added by Becky Harris to 6 Favorite Family-Friendly Homes
An awkward box covering the stairs to the basement was covered with shelves for books and toys and a loft overhead, creating the ultimate secret fort for little ones. See the rest of this home
added by Becky Harris to Fantasy Kids' Rooms
This secret loft is a private space for little ones within the public spaces on the first floor. The shelves at the bottom of the ladder are filled with games, toys and books they can bring up with them.
added by Becky Harris to For the Kids: Secret Forts Indoors
This secret fort is over a staircase, making great use of what was a very awkward box that surrounds the stairs to the basement.
added by Danyelle Mathews to How to Carve Out a Nook for Play
If you're the kind of parent who likes to have an eye on your children at all times, consider dedicating a couple of shelves on the family room bookcase to toys and children's books, so they can play within close sight.More:Kids' Bedrooms: Amp Up the PlayfulnessCreative Play Spaces For KidsVertical Limit: Making Room For Great Play Spaces
