Cambria Bradshaw

11 years ago

Brand new Cambria color - just released in May I think. We had decided on Canterbury but the decision isn't quite finalized after seeing Cambria Bradshaw. It is lighter than Canterbury and in the Waterstone line so flowier. Only think that is holding me back is that we picked our hardware to go with the Canterbury and our cabinets and I think it all ties together very well. I would have picked different hardware with the Bradshaw Cambria but it wasn't available then.

The GC loved the Canterbury but thought the Bradshaw was even more stunning when he saw it yesterday.

I really liked the Bradshaw when I saw it in person. Little more of a wow factor for me. Canterbury is definitely "heavy" looking. I think the hardware you picked for Canterbury would be fine with the Bradshaw...You're in the same color family.
Sounds to me like you're second guessing your choice and flirting with a chance to change. GC thinks it's more stunning too, but you have to decide what YOU like.
Bring a large sample of both home and take a second look.
Which one calls out to you?
I changed my mind on Canterbury a week after it was templated and ordered....wasn't cut yet so I lucked out.

Very nice! Why does this change your hardware selection though? The basic colors are very similar, although the Bradshaw is lighter, so I'd think what would go with one would go with the other. Is the hardware already ordered and paid for? Could your order be changed? Not that I think you necessarily need to change, but just exploring the possibilities.

Two more induction questions - what's important and what's not?

For those of you who have Miele induction, do you by chance also have a Miele oven? I am leaning toward either the Miele or GE induction..but I do like the individual timers on the Miele and the stop and return feature if you have to step away. I like the price on the GE! I'm also leaning toward the Miele Combi Steam oven and will need a 30" regular convection oven too--but not sure if another Miele is the way to go. Would love input.

Kitchen Island Cabinet Cost
Q
Comments (1)
Islands have to be finished 360. Cabinets in a perimeter run don't have finished sides or backs. Fiishing off the sides and backs costs as much as buying extra cabinets. Islands that size, I'd expect to cost 2-5K in a mid grade line. Depends on door style and the options chosen. Drawers or specialty cabinets like pullouts will be more, plain cabinets with a single top drawer and doors will be less. Sides with integral door panels will be more, veneer applied end panels will be less ( and won't age as well) Same with the back panel, a simpleveneer will cost less than a wainscotting panel. Corbels can be $100 or $350 or $500. There are levels of pricing for every choice. 3K isn't the cheapest that it could be, but it is no where near the most expensive that it could be. If you've got some drawers, and plywood finished ends, and some simple corbels, that would be about right with those upgrades and one of the less costly full overlay doors.

a2gemini, my utensil drawers are 36" wide, but the inside drawer dimension is actually 31". Those bins look good! I do agree about the odd sizing. I had to buy a few of each size and lay them out to see how they would fit. Looks like you managed to almost completely fill the drawer. You do lose just a little more space due to the thickness of two adjacent bin walls, but I like the way they look and the ability to clean them up. For me, the key was to group like items in each bin. So for example your two small bins right in the middle with measuring spoons could all be in one slightly larger bin, if such a bin exists. I would even combine them with the measuring cups directly above them. One 6x12 bin would probably hold all your measuring utensils perfectly as it did in mine. But, you have to go with what fits in your drawers. I found that fewer of the big bins wasted less space that a whole bunch of the smaller ones and the organization didn't suffer at all.

Jody Jean - Your kitchen was my first inspiration - and you helped me along the way! Thanks!! Glad I could find your email. Sandesurf - I posted on your question - but bet you found the answer on here - Grazia Rixi Crema with Tec antique white grout Phoggie - Funny story on the color - couldn't figure it out and had to make my decision - everything looked like I tried to match the floor and failed. I walked into a series of cabinets at the KD store and said - Perfect - sometimes you just know it when you see it! Oh - Brookhaven Autumn Cherry with black glaze. Momo7 - Wow - and thanks!!!!

What finish do you have on your cabinets? I found the Canterbury to be quite dark. I think the Bradshaw definitely has more flow to it and looks lighter.
In person, I saw splotches of peach in Canterbury that I couldn't get past.

Cabinets are Ginger Maple with sable glaze - a light color but not as light as natural.

Hardware is ordered and almost all installed. We ordered the hardware in oil rubbed bronze to pick up the glazing and the bronzy brown in the Canterbury. The hardware does tie everthing together nicely and I still love the Canterbury but the Bradshaw is quite tempting.

IMO the picture of the Bradshaw doesn't do it justice. It has tiny silver and copper specks.

I just had my Canterbury installed yesterday and LOVE it. I have oil rubbed bronze hardware and faucets. My cabinets are cherry-oregano with a chocolate glaze. I really like the colors in the Canterbury and don't find it too dark. Also I certainly don't see any peach, just grays, brown and creams with lovely copper flecks. We are also using a piece of the Canterbury in our mini bar with a copper sink and hardware.

Thank you for bringing Bradshaw to my attention. We had planned on using Canterbury for our master bath, but from the photos, I'm liking the Bradshaw much better. They were suppose to template in a week, but we just found out our tiling is getting pushed back. I this it's an omen!

weimom - thanks for posting about your new Canterbury counters. I have a 12x12 sample of it and don't find it too dark either.

nhbaskets - let us know if you get Bradshaw instead.

I still think Canterbury is the better choice for us but wanted to let others know about the Bradshaw Cambria. I think it might be a popular addition to the line.

Marie,
I love the way the Canterbury turned out in my kitchen. I looked at the Bradshaw too and it is lovely, but I didn't think it looked as nice with my cabinets. Can you borrow a large piece of the Bradshaw to compare for your cabinetry? I have the 12x12 sample of Canterbury too and that really helped me to make my decision.
I would post pictures but can't for the life of me figure out how to post pictures here. It's one more frustration that I don't need right now, lol.

i especiallly liked the copper flecks in the Canterbury. The Canterbury was just too dark for me with the white cabinets. If they were more cream colored I would have never changed my mind.
