I’m not a FAN
Want to know what I think about at O-dark-thirty when I should be sleeping but can’t because there are too many projects that I need to start and finish and I want them all done immediately but know it’ll take years? Lately I’ve been thinking about ceiling fans.
I’ll just be blunt. I don’t love ceiling fans. I think they’re generally … not that attractive. I’ll remove them from the living areas but we generally have them running at night in the bedrooms during the sweltering summer months. (Even though the sound of the whooshing blades makes me slightly motion sick.) It’s just too hot to get rid of them. What are you gonna’ do?
I’ve been looking for most attractive options.
This is the one I’d buy if I were a gazillionaire!
Yeah, you saw that right: $6000 for a ceiling fan light! I’m so in LOVE with it though. To bad I’m not a gazillionaire. 🙁
This one is kind of cool. It’s too industrial/modern for my home but my brain wants to look at it as the beginning to a DIY’d version of that first light. I know, completely crazy!
I just don’t know…maybe something like this. It’s simple,and unobtrusive.
It’s no Casablanca, but who can afford that thing?
What are your thoughts on ceiling fans? Has anyone ever DIY’d a ceiling fan? Is that completely crazy? It’s getting harder and harder for me to discern the “Realistic – Crazy” ideas from the Crazy – Crazy” ones.
Wait until you start having hot flashes, Girlfriends. Trust me…. you will never sleep, even in the dead of winter, without your ceiling fan on in your bedroom. Just a little air movement can make all the difference between sleeping and a homicide involving your spouse.

I know, I’d like to check it out as well. After reading reviews, as in everything, some love it, some hate it. It’s just personal preference of course. The common theme however, is that you just feel the “breeze” directly underneath the fixture.
The fans rotate and you have your choice of speeds, high, med, low. You can position the individual fans in any direction to get optimal air flow. There are several sizes and I plan on getting the smaller one for our bedroom. I like that they come in the bronze and nickel finishes, with or without the light.
Wow Deb. That’s scary! This is a cool fan. I’ve been seeing a lot of this type. I was wondering if the fans stay in one place or if they kind of rotate around? I’m so visual, I want to SEE exactly how it moves when it’s turned on.
