Caesarstone Amazon Green anyone?

14 years ago

Wondering if anyone has any experience with this color they could share. We loved the sample in the store, but can't even find even a picture of a kitchen or bath with it on the web.

Thanks

Hi, here is the link for the color from the Caesarstone website.
It is a new color so there probably not a lot of pictures or kitchens with this color on the web.

I haven't see it, but it looks like it's pretty green. The Rosemary color, which looks grey on the site, is quite green in person.

Caesarstone has a deal where you can look for showrooms with different colors installed-- I don't know if anyone will have that color yet, but it would help a lot to see it in a whole countertop. It's definitely pretty, and probably fairly bold (is my guess!).

Earthbox Sale on Amazon-free ship

It's a pretty good price. They can be purchased directly from earthbox.com for $47.95 each. This includes everything the Amazon offer does, but also adds a bag of potting mix as well. They are less if you buy 3 or more. Shipping is $15.95 for a total of 63.90. So $55 for one without potting mix or $63 for one with potting mix. Kind of a toss up depending on whether you want the EB mix or prefer to make/buy your own. $8.00 for a 2 cu. ft. bag is about the going rate in my area. If you decide to order directly from EB, call your order in and ask them to do better on the shipping price if you buy more than one. Their web cart charges $15.95 each for shipping no matter how many you buy, but they will fit several into one box so calling them may get better shipping terms. If anyone does this and they don't cut the shipping rate please let me know. No, I don't have any *pull* with the EB people, but I know a couple people working for them I would ask about it.

Anyone grow Amazon Lily?
Q
Comments (67)
Hey all! I just recently bought a "Christine" Amazon Lily (Eucharis Amazonica), and I'm confused as to how much light it should be getting. It is currently out on my patio (southern-facing exposure), but is on the coffee table in the center of the patio where it should receive only earlier day direct light (if that). It is currently very humid here (zone 10, SW Florida), and I have just put it into an 8" pot. Only received it earlier this week, but I'm noticing tiny yellow spots, with a little bit of brown inside the yellow on a couple of leaves, and I'm wondering if it is too hot/too much direct light? I had it closer to the screen enclosure, where it was receiving a lot more light, and just moved it tonight. The potting soil I used has fertilizer in it, but am wondering if I shouldn't feed it? Thoughts? Also, does anyone know when the blooming season is here in FL? Where I'm at, it very rarely gets cold enough to actually freeze. Daytime temps are usually (at the coldest) in the upper 50's-mid 70's. However, humidity levels plummet in winter here. Would misting help during these hotter months, or will simply keeping it watered well suffice? I'm new to this plant, and want to make sure it grows well! Thanks for any advice!

Anyone building green?
Q

rosebud- I think "green" buiding can take many forms, solar panels and other high ticket items notwithstanding, there are lots of other green options. Not only can we choose VOC paints and energy efficient windows, but we can limit SF, limit the goodies (such as multiple body jets in a shower, installing A/C in an environment where it isn't needed, making children share a bathroom, etc.), choose light fixtures that work with CFL bulbs, limit the use of vinyl (go ahead, shoot me now), using locally milled or quarried materials, etc. There are many things that can be done without spending an extra $$ on solar panels. Yes, in our build we have done many things right, but we did not spend the extra $$ on solar or wind cuz we chose to spend our money in other areas and we were on a tight budget, and when you're looking at a 50+ year payback for solar panels, well, that's a no brainer for me. Nova had a great show on solar and wind power in Germany last night and they made a big deal out of how the German government has made renewable energy affordable to average citizens and how Germany gets 30% of their electricity from renewable sources compared to 1% for the US (worthy, no mention of Canada, sorry). Then they went on to say why the American people would never support such measure here and that we depend on the market to make our changes for us. Oy. The truth hurts. sandyponder

Anyone using Caesarstone in Buttermilk or Limestone?
Q
Comments (7)
In my last kitchen I had Caesarstone champagne limestone countertops - we had espresso colored cabinets. The countertop color gave a warm feeling and was a good combination with the cabinets. This time around we are going for a more modern/contemporary look and are doing slab front walnut base cabinets with clear gloss and opted for Caesarstone organic white countertops. I love light countertops - find them easier to keep clean - streaking is less noticable - and they brighten up the space. Here's a picture of our kitchen in progress with the light countertops

I did find one showroom that is supposed to have a table in Amazon green, but no kitchens are to be found anywhere, and I can't even find any pics. The sample we saw last week didn't look nearly as green as the sample on the website is showing on my computer. It was a very mossy green with a lot of brown tone to it. The the Caesarstone site, it looks very green.

Guess we will try to go see the table at least. It is a bit bold to order without seeing something a little bigger than a 3" square.

I think seeing the table will tell you all you need to know. I'd love to hear what you find out/decide! I was really drawn the the Rosemary but in the end it didn't work with my space. I may find a use for it in the future, though. Green is just such a perfect, calm color.

Caesarstone has 10" square samples that they provide to designers. Maybe the store can order one for you to help you decide.

We went to the kitchen showroom yesterday, but no table in Amazon Green was in sight! But at least they had the bigger 10" square samples that do give a much better idea of overall effect than the 3" samples.

The Amazon Green is a very mossy green, with the overall effect being more brown than green. Very different than it looks on the website sample. It is quite nice, but we didn't love it nearly as much as we did when we saw the smaller sample.

Instead both dh and I fell in love with the Lagos Blue, which is incredibly calming and beautiful. Also, it does have a bit of a greenish cast to it (I think the overall effect is taupe).

And the Lagos Blue was definitely the winner when we held it up with our tile. They looked fantastic next to each other, which is a big coup since we are trying to keep our older floor tile for budget savings.

By the way, the Rosemary is also quite beautiful, and that would have been our next choice (before the Amazon Green I think). It has the same soothing feel as the Lagos Blue.

The Caesarstone site does allow you to order samples by selecting a color and adding a sample to your shopping cart. I tried to order the Amazon Green and Lagos Blue more than a week ago, and they have yet to process the order (I did hear back from them that they had a problem processing it).

DH sent me the pics he took from the phone. It is very hard to see the colors, but you can at least see that the Lagos Blue is much more subtle than the Amazon Green.

Wow, the amazon does look a lot different in "person"! I think the Lagos blue is really pretty. It didn't go with my cabinets, alas, so it wasn't in the running, but it is really a pretty countertop. It's one of their most popular colors, I've heard.
