Semi-Modern Ceiling Fans

February 2, 2015 by Ashley Mayes 12 Comments

Hi! Hope you all had a great weekend! Luke and I had a date night on Friday night which was awesome. Saturday, Greyson had a basketball game and, other than that, we just worked on a few projects. Sunday… well Sunday was Super Bowl Sunday and, if you know me; well, then you know that I love football.ย It was a crazy game to be sure! Seriously though, you passed on the 1 yard line when you have one of the best running backs in the league. Just a crazy play call.

Anyways, Greyson’s closet nook is coming along. Yay! We took a break from that the last two weeks to just finish the bathroom off. Now that the bathroom is finished we can focus on the nook again!

As one thing leads to another, focusing on the nook area has also got me thinking about his room in general. Greyson’s room has been halfway decorated and organized a few different times since we moved in. I’ve never finished it because, really, it isn’t the worst looking room in our house. It’s been easy to put off because he doesn’t really care. But, every time I actually think about it I get annoyed because it’s *this* close to actually being done. Like we need a little bit of money to make some changes and probably 2 weekends and it would be finished.

Along with the kitchen reno (which nothing has been done in there since painting the dark trim), I’m pushing to get the little man’s room done.

One thing on the list to change out is the old ceiling fan.

old Fan in Boys Rooms (1 of 1)

See, it’s pretty bad. To be honest, it actually looks better in that picture than it does in the room! It’s a bit willy wonky in person. Our house is a multi-level split so some rooms cool/heat differently than others. The two bedrooms on the north side (Greyson’s room and the guest/office) are hotter in the summer and cooler in the winter. This means that we need to keep a fan in both rooms. Ceiling fans are not my favorite, but practicality wins out in this instance.

I’ve done my research and have ended up with these options for a ceiling fan.

I would say they aren’t overly modern but they do have clean lines and are are MUCH better than the option that we currently have.

Which one would you pick?

    I would go with the last one. Something about that blade shape is really appealing ๐Ÿ™‚

    I like the first one. It’s less spaceshipy looking. But they’ll all make for a good choice I think. I was personally bummed with the fame, but I guess that goes with having a favorite.

    I’m also a fan of #1 (though they’re all lovely)!!

    Also, glad I’m not a Seahawks fan today. What a frustrating end of the game it must have been for them!!

    We have sooo many ceiling fans in our house (two in the master bedroom alone) and I’d so love to replace them with modern ones. Don’t know if it’s a worthwhile investment though. I think I like the first fan the best. I think I like the look of five blades and I think I read somewhere that more blades equals more air circulation. And I agree with another commenter (I couldn’t put my finger on it) but three blades looks somehow space shipy.

      Wow, two in the master? Crazy! We have about 5 left and since this is our longterm home… I’m changing them! All of ours (minus 1) are like the bottom of the barrel quality or at least they seem like that to me. I was a bit surprised on how much they cost in general.

    I had a ceiling fan that worked just fine, but I didn’t like the color. A can of “hammered paint” in a pewter color gave it new life. Just a thought. Personally, I dislike the popcorn ceiling more than the fan!

      I totally agree with the popcorn!! We had our popcorn tested for Asbestos before we moved in though and it tested positive. It’s quite a bit of money to have it removed correctly!! Maybe someday!
