So far the only drawback of quitting my job is that it is HOT here! We don't have AC like we did at my office. (Where someone would always turn it down to 58 degrees and I'd end up wearing a sweater and socks with my skirt all day.)
In general, the house stays really nice until around 1pm, when even the slightest exertion (like typing) or embarrassment (the mailman hearing me sing to the girls about diaper wedgies) can make me break out into a sweat that doesn't go away until about 3am.
So please help. I need a ceiling fan for the living room. Should I:
a)
buck up and buy the modern fan "ball" one? ~$275
http://www.modernfan.com/ball.html
b)
get a cheapo industrial one that is sure to cut off a finger? $70
(Actually, this is not even an option because it literally WILL chop off a finger. They are only recommended to be installed in tall ceiling spaces. Our ceiling is only about 8'-6" max.)

c)

THANKS!

We just got a Minka Air fan for our kitchen. Wanted the Modern Fan Co option but didn't want to pay the money...so this was a cheaper comprimise.

Kevin,
ReplyDeleteWe have the minka one for Franca's room and I love it. So quiet and looks nice. Not completely mod, but good.
The only reason we are thinking of the modern fan co. For the living room is that the fan will literally be the first thing you see when you walk into the house!
The ball fan is AWESOME. But don't purchase solely on my advice. I'm a shitty budgeter. :)
