While dated, at least there were all white. I removed them from several rooms where they provided little comfort. My lanai has the same Lowe's Harbor Breeze.

Lighting on fans is just the very worst. I chose simple fans, Hunter and Casablanca in bronze as they tend not to show dirt and dust. Very practical here and adverse to lots of clean-up although I have an amazing housekeeper who cleans them often for me! I have a huge Fanimation Odyn fan with 72" blades in my Great Room which is awesome; many mistake it for a Big Ass Fan.<br /><br />Best of luck on Wednesday; you are well on your way to occupying your house! <br /><br />best,<br /> teaorwineteaorwinehttp://teaorwine.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395859504434574133.post-48631521479549587522020-07-03T15:51:34.183-04:002020-07-03T15:51:34.183-04:00So true - this house I am about to move out of has...So true - this house I am about to move out of has a massive Sub Zero fridge/freezer and it really dominates the room.

We haven't moved to the south, but with changes in climate we are having hotter summers here in Kansas. During our remodel, I got rid of several, but kept the two upstairs. One is a Casablanca. One is a Hunter. Both are very quiet and stable. They are not modern!!! When I was going to create an office for my husband (now to be my dressing room!!!), I was going to use a Matthews Fan. Co. industrial style there. Some of their fans are rather stunning!<br />I think you hit upon a solution that works for you: minimum, efficient and forget about it. home before darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272062955786414729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395859504434574133.post-79418739367882111742020-07-03T12:31:42.722-04:002020-07-03T12:31:42.722-04:00If your blades are flat, you can also cover them w...If your blades are flat, you can also cover them with fabric or wallpaper that you love.

Since they are a necessity in hot climates, one would think they could be a little creative and design fans that were more attractive. I'm still obsessed with that ceiling fixture in the Amanda Lindroth bedroom. It looks like a fan, but is it actually a light fixture? It would make a wonderful ceiling fan.
