FAQ – Answers to Questions We Get Asked ALL the Time!
Sources/Where We Got It
Where did you get your dining room table?
We’ve had a few dining room tables. Like about 7 in 10 years!
The light wood trestle table was the Restoration Hardware Salvaged Natural Table. We clear-coated it with a matte varnish to protect it. It was a GORGEOUS table, but ultimately didn’t hold up to a lot of wear and tear…and it was brutal on the knees if you were sitting at either end!
The dark farmhouse table is the Calistoga table from The Brick. It is very solid and takes a beating well. Plus the extensions were a LOT easier to take on and off than the RH ones were. Ultimately, we didn’t love the dark color and my sister now loves it!
Our newest table was built and finished by us with legs from Osborne Wood Products. We’ll link a how-to blog post here as soon as we get it finished.
Where is your sectional couch from?
Our sectional couch is the Ikea Ektorp, currently with the Nordvalla Beige slipcovers. We wrote a review of our couches here.
Where did you get your open shelving brackets?
For our two most recent kitchen renovations, we installed open shelving. And for both installations, I designed and Dean created the shelving brackets. But if you don’t have a Dean who can make them for you, you can find VERY similar ones here.Where did you get your dining room light fixture?
The dining room light fixture is from Wayfair and was called the Odie 8-light kitchen island pendant. Wayfair occasionally changes the names of products though. To make it easier for you to find, here it is on Amazon. Where did you get your black kitchen track lights?
The black kitchen track lights in our farmhouse-style kitchen were source from Build.com. They are made by Seagull Lighting and have unfortunately been discontinued. We have not yet been able to find similar versions elsewhere.
Where did you get your huge black clock?
The Fulton Street black oversized clock was from Wayfair. You may be able to find it on Amazon too.I absolutely love your china cabinet, it’s so classic! Do you have a source for it?
Yes, our one wood-look ‘china cabinet’ is from Wayfair (affiliate link). If it’s in stock when you look, buy it! It’s frequently out of stock!
Where did you get the flat bar for your DIY barn doors?
My husband sourced our via his work. But you can find similar flat bar at Metal Supermarket and sometimes at Lowe’s or Home Depot.
How on earth do you keep your open shelves clean?
I’m going to assume you’re referring to our kitchen open shelves. If that’s the case, we put our everyday dishes up there on display. Which means they get daily use. Anything that doesn’t get used gets dusted weekly (along with the shelves) with a Swiffer Duster. If something like the cake stand or something is not used for a while, we will of course wash it before use!
What paint color is that?
We get asked this one all the time! If you visit the links below, you can find all the colors we used for each house, except the first, which wasn’t very pretty! 🙂
