Those are still so new that I know when I was wanting to see larger samples it was hard enough to find them made up, much less with stained maple. Something I found helpful: on the Cambria website you can select your area, then showroom display, and then the style you would like to see, to see if you can find one of them made up in a showroom nearby. I did that and got to see the Praa Sands made up, although I don't recall what the cabs were. It was at a kitchen store so it was one counter with 3 different styles of kitchen sinks installed - a bit distracting! :) - but I got to see a much bigger expanse of it. Including the link below because I can never find it from their website.

Here is a link that might be useful: Where to see Cambria

Thanks, beeps. Did the Praa Sands look good? That's one that I'm considering. In the sample, it looks like it has quite a bit of blue in it. Did it read as blue or was it subtle? Thanks.

Another thing you can do is find Cambria on facebook. They have tons of photos of installations not on their website. And if the one you want to see is not already there, you can post a request.

Wow - wish I had thought of FB - might have helped me on figuring out the backsplash etc

Thanks, I'll check that out.

Wow! There are a lot of photos (on their Facebook page) of the different collections-as slabs and installed! Thanks for the info:)

I hope you found a pic of it on Facebook. I took a few pics of the Praa Sands at the store but they are horrible and of no help. (I was on a new cell with, as it turns out, not a very good camera. Plus I was still learning how to use the camera. So, I would post them but they are actually misleading.)

I would say yes, it will def read as having some blue in it, but that is not the predominant color. I would describe it as having veining in black and taupe, not sure which of those is more dominant, but with the blue veining being the least dominant. I thought it was very pretty. You saw this pic on the Cambria website with dark cabs?

No, I didn't see that one and it is so hard to visualize when most of the pictures are on white cabinets! Ohhh, I really like it:) I think this might be the one for me! Thanks for posting.

This is one of the pictures that rotates through when you first log on the site. If you don't see it just refresh your screen/log back on and eventually you will see it. I suggest that because it also shows it with a panel of the Praa Sands vertically facing you so you can get a better idea of what it looks like.

Glad you like it. It is very pretty. Good luck with your choice!
