Our kitchen just isn't right for it. </p> [attach=251/16/ofvx4s.600x450.IMG_9931.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-this-the-side-eye#post-2645064 Sun, 30 Oct 2016 08:08:27 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2645064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I feel like it's not crazy. That's very trendy right now I think. My bil and SIL have it. We considered it too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-this-the-side-eye#post-2645004 Sat, 29 Oct 2016 20:28:38 +0000 delight 2645004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shantuck: feeling great but antsy! My EDD is tomorrow but not looking too promising. Best wishes to you in the next week as well! :heart: </p> <p>@mediagirl: I quite like that faucet and can see it working in a modern/industrial type kitchen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-this-the-side-eye#post-2644998 Sat, 29 Oct 2016 20:15:49 +0000 Shantuck 2644998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: thanks!

I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-this-the-side-eye#post-2644993 Sat, 29 Oct 2016 20:03:41 +0000 delight 2644993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shantuck: Wowza! I'm swooning over your kitchen! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-this-the-side-eye#post-2644956 Sat, 29 Oct 2016 15:18:09 +0000 Shantuck 2644956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit7: That's a good point. We have a single basin sink and our faucet has some stretch to it and a hook that it easily catches onto. It took awhile to stretch out though. It's definitely a good idea to go to a showroom and test it out first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-this-the-side-eye#post-2644954 Sat, 29 Oct 2016 15:16:08 +0000 Shantuck 2644954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Meow: Thanks! It was a labor of love! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-this-the-side-eye#post-2644941 Sat, 29 Oct 2016 13:34:55 +0000 Littlebit7 2644941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>in my experience with those, sometimes it is annoying to get the handle of the sprayer back into the holder. I do like the style, but every one I have every used (and we have several in our extended families' kitchens) has been annoying in one way or another. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-this-the-side-eye#post-2644937 Sat, 29 Oct 2016 13:26:30 +0000 Meow 2644937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shantuck: holy cow dream kitchen! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-this-the-side-eye#post-2644920 Sat, 29 Oct 2016 11:49:33 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2644920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I think you should get it!!!! It's not 100% my style but I still like it. And I could see it looking very cool in the right kitchen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-this-the-side-eye#post-2644782 Fri, 28 Oct 2016 20:47:27 +0000 Shantuck 2644782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also, this is my kitchen, which is not industrial or super modern but I think the look still works. </p> [attach=2794/16/ofscz3.450x600.IMG_1573.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-this-the-side-eye#post-2644773 Fri, 28 Oct 2016 20:27:16 +0000 Shantuck 2644773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a similar faucet but it's chrome and doesn't have a matching soap dispenser. We've had it since June 2015 and we've had no issues keeping it clean. The cafeteria lady comment made me chuckle but these are actually the new style in nice homes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-this-the-side-eye#post-2644767 Fri, 28 Oct 2016 20:21:31 +0000 OldpuebloJenn 2644767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a very similar faucet, in addition to two other standard faucets. The coil isn't difficult to clean, and I love it, but don't use it daily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-this-the-side-eye#post-2644766 Fri, 28 Oct 2016 20:18:33 +0000 pinkb 2644766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just redid our kitchen and this was the one we wanted. After much consideration I decided to go with a sleeker lower profile one to fit in better with the whole look of the kitchen. This one to ended up being too tall and just looked a bit weird in our small kitchen even though we loved it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-this-the-side-eye#post-2644666 Fri, 28 Oct 2016 16:13:05 +0000 PinkElephant 2644666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would only get it if you have a very modern/industrial kitchen. Otherwise it won't really "go" with your kitchen, and you'll probably tire of it. When we were house hunting I saw a lot of these paired with oversized stainless farmhouse sinks, grey subway tile backsplashes etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-this-the-side-eye#post-2644664 Fri, 28 Oct 2016 16:04:25 +0000 dc yoga bee 2644664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My faucet looks like that without the coil part. I like the coil though. We probably would've picked it had it been available as one of our design choices. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-this-the-side-eye#post-2644659 Fri, 28 Oct 2016 15:54:28 +0000 Purpledaisy 2644659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just had to replace our faucet and I fell in love with the same one!! We ended up getting a different one because I had the same thought as @honeybear! I image that the coil part would get all gross and disgusting. I'm still a little sad about not getting it but I think we made the right choice :bummed: . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-this-the-side-eye#post-2644623 Fri, 28 Oct 2016 15:00:29 +0000 youboots 2644623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well if you are nuts I am too. I got something similar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-this-the-side-eye#post-2644610 Fri, 28 Oct 2016 14:32:52 +0000 skipra 2644610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: When we were faucet shopping I found that we couldn't really pull down on them either. I thought the stores did that on purpose? With that said, this one is not my favorite but I probably wouldn't notice it in someone else's house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-this-the-side-eye#post-2644595 Fri, 28 Oct 2016 14:17:05 +0000 sapphire 2644595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know about "side eye" but I don't think it's very attractive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-this-the-side-eye#post-2644591 Fri, 28 Oct 2016 14:09:19 +0000 snowjewelz 2644591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Really! We never had any issue with ours! DH just ordered it online. Even my toddler pulls it out lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-give-this-the-side-eye#post-2644586 Fri, 28 Oct 2016 14:03:12 +0000 Cole 2644586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@honeybear: This is a good point! I wouldn't give a second though to your faucet choice but omg I have no clue how so much stuff gets on our faucet! I can't even imagine scraping food particles off the coil on that thing. </p>
