## Community Q&A

**Q: Size of space** *(in Photo Questions)*

Hi may i know what is the dimension of this space including the wardrobe

A: The room is 7ft x 10ft. The wardrobes are 24” deep, and each door panel is 20” wide.

**Q: beautiful cabinetry** *(in Photo Questions)*

Can you kindly share the source and color? So gorgeous!

A: Kungsbacka cabinetry from Ikea

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

I'd love to know the length of this kitchen--it looks like a 30" range, but is the dishwasher full-size?  Also, is there a small gap between the range and the wall, and if so, why?  Thanks for posting fabulous pictures of small spaces!

A: You're spot on, that overall length is just about 90''. I loved the 18'' dishwasher, it just felt so efficient. If you get one, you'll learn how to use it to work for you. If you're having a dinner party with 4 or even 6 people, I would find myself running quick loads midway through cooking, or just before serving, and then another afterwards. I never felt bad about running a small load because it uses water & energy very efficient. I'd recommend getting one with the cutlery slide-out tray on top, that's what our Bosch had, saves some space on the bottom rack for more dishes

**Q: Love the cabinets and floating shelves, where did you buy it?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Thanks! Floating shelves were 'Baltic Birch Butcherblock' slabs cut to size on-site. Bought those from Lowe's. Then clear sealed with a matte acrylic sealer. Cabinets are IKEA Kungsbacka. Pulls are IKEA too. The cabs are made from loads of recycled plastics which is cool.

**Q: Love the neon sign! Where is it from?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: not real neon. it's LED in glass tubes. made in china, found the fabricator on etsy

**Q: Love the backsplash!  Where did you buy this?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: The sink is 33” wide. It’s Elkay brand, black quartz material
