## Community Q&A

**Q: What material is the floor?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: The floor is red oak.

**Q: What color stain was used on the slab?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: The slab is walnut so it is naturally dark. We used a clear penetrating wax like Osmo.

**Q: How did you attached the breakfast bar to the worktop?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Are there brackets underneath, or is it somehow fixed directly to the worktop?

A: There are 3 square tube steel brackets (custom made) that are fit into slots in the bottom of the slab and that extend down into the back of the cabinet.

**Q: what light has been used above the cabinets?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: It is actually a very simple LED rope light on a switched circuit above the cabinets. These lights are not expensive and are widely available in different lengths on the internet or elec supply houses. Pay attention to the color of the LED's though as some cheaper ones may be very blue or yellow. 
Good luck!

**Q: Counter tops** *(in Photo Questions)*

Where did you get the counter tops??

A: The white counters are Caesarstone Ice and the wood is a walnut live edge slab sourced locally. There are many sources for wood slabs in the US and Canada. You just have to do a little looking around to find the right size, color and price for your project. Good luck!

**Q: I live in Denver looking for live edge wood ? What species is this one** *(in Photo Questions)*

I live in Denver looking for live edge wood ? What species is this one?

A: Thanks!
