## Community Q&A

**Q: What kind of wood?** *(in Photo Questions)*

beautiful deck! What kind of wood / stain is used here?

A: Hi, James. That wood is Ipe. It’s very dense and good for use outdoors. I don’t remember what product we used to seal it, but it’s just a clear matte. Maybe a Bona product.

**Q: Fireplace material** *(in Photo Questions)*

Is the Fireplace wall venetian plaster or concrete?  Thanks.

A: It's exterior cement plaster, smooth trowel finish.

**Q: blanket on the bed** *(in Photo Questions)*

Where's that blanket from? Thanks!

A: I'm not sure.  It's the home owner's.  He already had it when we did the renovation.

**Q: The pendants are perfect! Where can I find them?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Those are the world famous Tom Dixon Beat Pendants!  Classic form.  Tom Dixon sells them directly.
