We can't SEE your kitchen. All quartz is basically the same material, with difference being color and veining. The best way to see a large sample, any brand, and color, is find a fabricator who carries Cambria, or a kitchen cabinet shop who has the large samples in Cambria, and take it home on a lend. Show the kitchen, since it is generally unwise to change counters unless you are certain you love the layout of appliances and storage......and the top with all else in the room.

Either way, you can't pick a top online........Post pictures of your kitchen in a comment below: )

Thanks so very much Jan for responding to my post!!

I have included Jan the photo of my kitchen you recommended that I post. My plan is that I will only be replacing the old Formica countertops, backsplash and sink. The wood cabinets will not be altered other than that they will be repainted the same color that they are now.

I have been in contact Cambria to see about getting a larger sample of Bellwater than the 3” by 3” sample I currently have.

My hope is to be able to learn some information about Bellwater in addition to what I have found on Cambria’s online site. It would be so very helpful to get some feedback from individuals who have installed it or even just considered doing so, but ultimately decided against using it because of issues they learned about Bellwater and/or Cambria's comparable grey Myddleton quartz.

It is my understanding Cambria is suspending both Bellwater and Myddelton quartz. I am wondering why Cambria is suspending them both. Is it because there were possibly some structural issues with each of these quartzes and/or that there was just very little customer demand for each one of them.

This is a photo of Cambria's Bellwater quartz

Are you keeping your current floor. Not sure your Bellwater quartz choice will compliement the current flooring.

I doubt there were quality issues, most likely being discontinued from no demand : )

I think you are struggling to find a quartz, because the cabinets seem a warm white, the floor rather a warm gray.

Were I you, I might find a Dupont Corian dealer. There are a host of whites, it is the Original solid surface. You can still have a new under mounted sink, a new faucet, and backsplash.

But right now? I think I see a bit of palette clash that can only be resolved with perhaps a simple and plain black granite, or a cabinet paint job, or a different floor. Keep looking: ) Those two Cambria aren't the answer.

I think a search for a real stone not fake plastic might yield a much better choice . I really dislike quartz for counters .Usually sales drive the choices from any quartz supplier .I think putting a new expensive counter in a dated kitchen is a waste of money usually too.

Quartz patterns are typically discontinued due to lack of demand. The type of pattern of Bellwater Quartz is less popular these days. But setting that aside, I think that @JAN MOYER's comment about your cabinets' white vs your floor's gray is exactly the challenge. I also think that the Bellwater pattern itself does not go with the look of your kitchen. A solid Corian as she said is something you should explore. And an undermounted single-bowl stainless steel sink (Kraus sinks have a lot of bang for the buck).

Here are a couple of pics of Bellwater counters (more useful than just seeing the pic of the sample). As with all online photos, the color looks different between them - one is more gray, one is more brown, though the same Bellwater Quartz. Regardless, I think a solid white Corian would look better in your space. I've added a pic of the Corian Cameo White, but you should get a sample of Corian Glacier White to look at too.

I want to thank you all for the very informative and really helpful information and guidance that you all have so very kindly provided. It is my intention to have new flooring installed sometime in the not-too-distant future after I have a new countertop installed.

I saw tonight on Houzz where people have indicated Cambria's Swanbridge is a very pretty white quartz and one that it works well with warm white cabinets. I currently have Cambria's Weybourne countertops in my bathrooms.

Definitely sounds as though a white countertop that works well with my warm white cabinets is a very good way for me to proceed :-)

Thank you all for the really great advice and very kind guidance that you all have shared with me :-)

@M Miller - the first picture is not Bellwater - it is Crowndale

@Julee Yah that is interesting. The site where I pulled that photo named it Bellwater. Images online can be frustrating to know whether they are correctly tagged or not. When I looked up Crowndale, it looked different too from my first picture too. In any case, I stick with my original advice to the OP that she needs a quieter pattern or no pattern counter.

"It is my intention to have new flooring installed sometime in the not-too-distant future after I have a new countertop installed."

@J S I just saw your follow-up. It is usually better to pick the floor first before the counter. The reasons are that flooring is a dominating feature because it is large and horizontal. It is also less likely to be changed out in the future than a counter is. It is preferable not to have floor choice be dictated by a counter. For those reasons, it is preferred to pick the flooring first. Just giving you a heads up.

I was considering bellwater for my bathroom..I hope I'm not making a mistake.I can only find the bathroom picture with the gold faucet. I think its beautiful, but if its not that popular maybe it is not installed. Oh, such hard decisions! I only have the 3 by 3 sample as well.

We are considering Bellwater for our master bathroom as well. Meeting with our designer on Thursday and will know if it is actually being discontinued.

Thank you for your response, I hope it works out for you, I really love it. Please let me know what the designer says.. Thanks again! By the way, will you be getting it from Home Depot? We are in Wichita, ks. And was told they are the only ones that have it here?

Now I’m told Home Depot doesn’t have it🤷‍♀️

If Home Depot has not got it? It is only one of three things:

They weren't selling a surface basically being produced for them by Cambria, or Cambria jacked up the price to Home Depot and HD said no way......or Cambria dropped it.

There are a billion different quartz surfaces : ) I'd find another "prince"

We were told by our designer that Cambria Bellwater is only sold by Home Depot, so we didn't pursue it as an option. Evidently, an agreement was made between Home Depot and Cambria. If Home Depot is no longer carrying it, it sounds like you'll have to make another selection. There are many options, but I'm still having difficulty making a decision. Best of luck.

@DEBBIE MCCORMICK and @J C, near the top of this thread the OP stated “It is my understanding Cambria is suspending both Bellwater and Myddelton quartz.”

Thank you all for the response, It’s disappointing because it took me FOREVER to pick that one.. now I’m back to the drawing board! Thanks again! JC good luck on your project and I would love to hear what you ended up with! Have a great day!

Debbie, I initially was going to go with the white cabinets and Bellwater as I thought the quartz color made the white pop. I already have Cambria Brittanicca with white cabinets in our laundry room and wouldn't do it again as there isn't enough of a contrast and the whites are different. So I've gone full circle and I think we're going with Shiloh Sterling poplar cabinets (a gray) and we're going with Cambria Everleigh countertops. That's unless I change my mind before we actually order them. Pic Attached. That is our wall color (Worldly Gray) and floor tile (Hollywood Taupe). Looks like some pink in this pic of the countertop, but there is none.

I absolutely love this!! It’s going to be beautiful! My parents wanted white cabinets, but they ended up buying a new garden home that already had gray cabinets and they love it. I’m going to go and look at the Everleigh in person, That might be something we could use. I’m also going to check out Copeland. I would love to see your finished project.

Thanks Debbie! I put the Everleigh up to our white cabinets and I liked it better than what we opted for in our kitchen. And the Everleigh would bring in the gray in your floor or at least that's what it looks like to me. The Copeland might also make the white cabinets pop. Always best to see it in person. Good luck!

Thank you ! You as well.. I think it will be so pretty!

When Home Depot and Cambria's contract runs out for a handful of designs, the designs are once again sold by vendors that carry Cambria and you can order samples of that design by going on Cambria's site. Also on the Cambria site you can type in your zip code and find out what vendors in your area carry Cambria. As long as Home Depot has the designs under contract, you to to them for samples. They seem to have the contract for 2-3 years at a time. When that time runs out, HD pulls the samples of them on their floor and get a new contract for different designs.
