## Community Q&A

**Q: wood stain** *(in Photo Questions)*

What color is the stain on the cedar. It goes so well with the brick color. Thank you.

A: Hi Diane, it has been a bit since we did that and I can't find anything in the file with stain color for the cedar.  However, I think it may just be a clear coat without just the natural color of the cedar.  The roofing is cedar shake and it is left natural as well.

**Q: What kind of wood, or finish is on the ceiling? It looks fabulous!** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Thanks.  It's a pecky cypress with a white washed / wax finish.

**Q: Island countertop** *(in Photo Questions)*

What is the material used for the island countertop?

A: This was a limestone countertop.

**Q: Ladder?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Can you tell me anything about the ladder and the track that it travels on, por favor?

A: Our client found this in an antique store. if you are able to find one, make sure you have installation instructions, or that the track and wheels are compatible. Some of the tracks and wheel attachments may not work together.

**Q: Mirror** *(in Photo Questions)*

Please share the manufacturer and mirror dimensions.

A: Sorry, don't have either one.  Our client purchased this mirror and provided it to us. Thanks.

**Q: Love the light fixture.  Where did you find it?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Thanks.  Our client provided us with the light, so I'm not sure where it was purchased.
