It’s not that we don’t like keeping it real. We definitely do, but that ceiling fan can be quite distracting and sometimes it still snuck in the pictures, eh well:
Last week we posted on our facebook page that we had finally got around to ordering a new ceiling fan. We had it narrowed down to these three options:
a b c |
Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

LOVE your fan! Good choice!
looks great!! love the fan you chose. doesn’t it feel good to have things start to come together?? if only my own bedroom could start taking shape!
I’m a huge fan of the gun-metal. I always like white, but the gun-metal looks better in your room. It’s comin’ together!
Oooo, I hear ya. Mine sneak into some pics too (they’re white, although we have one salmon pink one – ugh). I wanted to axe them until a really hot week just after we moved in. Because we lack AC (I don’t even like AC) the fans were fantastic. Your new one is gorgeous – modern and functional. Hooray for fans.
I never knew that! Great tips, Meagan. We did choose an efficient fan. It is rated to operate at 36 watts at high speed (without lights), which gives it an airflow efficiency rating of 69 CFM/watt. (As a comparison, 36 in. to 48 in. ceiling fans have airflow efficiencies ranging from approximately 71 to 86 CFM/watt at high speed.) But like I said above, we really only use it during the night in the summer.
It looks great!!!! When we finally have our own place, we will be on th hunt for heavy duty ceiling fans because ours here are NOT cutting it. I’ve also heard they ceiling fans are only to cool you down, not the room. And they use lots of energy, so make sure they are off when you leave the room.
very nice! It’s so refreshing to see NEW contemporary fan designs. Love it. Great colour too :)
i love this fan! I have such a hard time picking out ones that i like, but this one is beautiful!
Soo I don’t think I’ve ever commented on your blog before, but I’ve been loving reading it for awhile now! (somehow I wandered over one day from YHL I think :) )
And I wanted to comment that I really like hearing about someone else choosing/installing ceiling fans! Thanks! We need to update two of ours – they were here when we moved in, and like you I just wanted to change them out for something else – but we definitely used them all last summer. So great. We’re even using the one in the living room this winter with the blades turning the opposite way, it keeps the warm air from ‘pooling’ at the ceiling. You’re helping inspire us to get on the look-out for updated fan-nery! :)
haha – i try to hide some of our fans in pics sometimes too bc they need some updating
The fan looks great! I like the finish in the room. I don’t think I would have liked white as much.
