I googled around after I read your question and it seems that both Autumn Fantasy and Autumn Blaze are the result of crosses between red and silver maples, so they are not Acer rubrum. I agree with QQ that you can tell by looking at the leaves that it has Silver Maple parentage in it. By the way, there is yet another place on the web with an incorrect name ... how about Acer freemonti 'Autumn Fantasy'?

I think there is definitely a fine line between country and cottage. I also think beadboard has now crossed over and is traditional, country, cottage, vintage, etc. I guess beadboard could be considered timeless and looks good in almost any design scheme, except super modern. When I think cottage, I see images of more pastel colors than with country. I also see more delicate flowers and painted furnishings. Now mind you, this is in my mind, it's nothing scientific. LOL In my new house I'm seeing traditional country for living area, country with modern accents for master bed and bath, old New Orleans for guest bath, cottage for guest bedroom, traditional for kitchen, vintage/traditional for foyer and traditional for office. In realizing my confusion for design and need to have all designs in one house, I suppose I won't be winning any design awards anytime soon. LOL In a year we can look back and see if I was able to pull all of this off in one house. HA!

Nothing, it's the same product.

"Joseph, from what i have gathered different companies have a differing amount of quartz to resin impacting the look and durability. but does that really make one better over the other and justify such a price difference?" They tinker with their formulas, but it's essentially the same thing, however, Cambria does not tinker with its prices. They have seen that there is no business to be had competing against Vietnam and China on price and they aren't going to play their game. Cambria is successfully building a brand. They've got very good service, stay on top of quality control, and lead the industry with designs and colors. If that's worth something to you, pay up. As a businessperson, I admire this strategy.
