What is ceiling height?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi Matt, the ceiling height is 8 feet. The IKEA cabinets are older sizes that IKEA doesn't make anymore. But they are 12" depth and 39" tall. Width varies. **Q: Curious. Why a white dishwasher instead of a stainless one?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Two reasons: 1\) it's only an 18" DW, an uncommon size, so the cost for a stainless steel one is substantially more than a 24" stainless steel DW. The cost for a white 18" DW was much more reasonable. 2\) It's a tiny kitchen, with a lot going on, so we felt that the white dishwasher would be more homogeneous to the look of the under cabinets. **Q: Countertops** *(in Photo Questions)* What color are the countertops and where are they from? A: Hi - the countertops are Silestone "Tebas Black" color. The homeowners purchased them from Home Depot. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Silestone-2-in-Quartz-Countertop-Sample-in-Tebas-Black-SS-Q0330/203674462 However, you can also find another Silestone dealer here: http://www.silestoneusa.com/distributors/cosentino-centers/ Good luck! **Q: What is the approximate length of the window wall?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Barbt123, Including the depth of the cabinets, the length of the wall with the window is approximately 13'-0". **Q: Where is the light fixture from?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi Kyrstal, the homeowners purchased this pendant at Menards. Unfortunately it is not available any longer. However, here is a suggestion for a similar fixture: http://www.canarm.com/Residential/Residential\_Lighting/Pendants/IPL177B01BN --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
