PS leave the paint color for walls decision for after...you can tweak the paint the most

Widen your parameters, please.

Several years ago I was able to order 12"x12" samples from the Cambria website for 25- each.

@aprilneverends Thank you for the suggestions. We purchased slabs of Brittanicca for the kitchen, but the baths will most likely be remnants from the counter person. He will send us a picture of the slab with the marked layout before cutting, but visiting his facility isn't an option. I suppose I could visit another site.

We did go to his shop with a 12x24 floor tile and a sample board with the backsplash.

We really are planning this backwards. Everything with the kitchen fell together because we chose the countertop first. The walls have already been painted the same color as the MB, and you're right, it can certainly be changed.

But we are where we are, and people need a decision made. I just don't know what I'm doing.

@princessmoxie You're right. I ordered one with the kitchen color that we chose so that I could take it with me when making other decisions. I have held up the backsplash and floor sample next to a 12x12 at the shop, but I don't have time to order bathroom samples before the decision needs to be made. Thank you!

We have Cambria in the kitchen but for the bathroom I found better options with other brands. We went with LG Viatera. I can't tell any difference in the quality and I love it.

Nicole, I did everything even more backwards..in the kitchen, I started with the backsplash...:) because the tile was custom and 6 weeks wait at that time, while the slabs are usually there and ready.

Well they were there and ready, but I couldn't find the right one for weeks after that. We were going everywhere with the sample of the tile, the floor, the cabinet door..You get the picture. Well found it eventually. Lol.

That's why I'm afraid to give you a potentially bad advice by just looking at the screen-I remember what it takes, to choose the material.

Had a very similar experience with the counter in the master bath..they gave me some tiny samples(literally, like 2 by 2 at most) and asked to choose. Then I chose. Then I opened a thread here where I mentioned I chose something because people are waiting, but I'm really not sure whether it's the right choice . Then I got some encouragement to speak up. Then I wrote a letter to our GC and Co: "So sorry. I really wanted to make everyone happy but I need a couple more days to choose the stone". Next day, we drove to the slab yards around us, and found a remnant that was like a hundred times better choice than the one I reluctantly chose before. BTW was cheaper than their pre-fab Quartz too. Maybe twice as cheaper.

Well the GC and us did get a bit mad at each other, and he stalled us for three weeks not picking that slab. Was not exactly easy for him to pick it up too I must say, as all his guys are not local, and it became a real problem at some point, as the remodel went on and on.

Then we met to reconcile, which we did.

We silently arrived at consensus -we payed for the slab, even though it was a part of their quote-but they did come to pick it up.

Now I love my new counter, and I must say the GC loves it too. Will make his work on that bathroom look much, much better. Which is kinda important thing for somebody who takes pride in what he does.

Don't worry. It will fall into place. Try to visit other facility if possible. It's a big decision, you shouldn't be rushed into it. Also look at the remnants they've got there, just in case(if they got them)-who knows, maybe you'll find your stone winking at you.

Good luck to you, and I wish I could be more helpful-to me, slabs are the worst..

I agree you need to see in person. Ones I thought were perfect ended up looking totally different IRL. And the little samples you get aren't always much help.

@aprilneverends Thanks very much for your advice. I really appreciate it!
