I don't have any info on the ceiling fixtures. I ordered them from a local lighting store.
The thin pullout next to the sink holds two dishtowel bars. We had to add it as a filler, but we actually use it! It beats hiding the Cluny with dishtowels!

I love my drawer with my baking supplies. Because it's not a very large kitchen, the drawer is right across from the pull-outs with all of my supplies (mixers and pans), and my bowls are nearby in the glass cabinet. In the drawer, I keep all of the basics, so that all I have to do is reach down when I'm mixing and put them right back when I'm finished. There was no surface large enough to even roll out dough in my old kitchen. I love baking in my new kitchen!
