How To: Ceiling Fan Refashion

Ceiling fans get a bad rap. We've lost count of how many times we've seen designers on shows like Trading Spaces walk into a room, look at the ceiling, groan, and immediately remove the fan. Yeah, they are kind of an eyesore, but they really cool down a room and potentially reduce the risk of SIDS....

What a great idea. I generally dislike ceiling fans. But! This is fun. :)

I don't understand why people don't like them. I love ceiling fans. I wish I had one in ever room.

Now, this is pattern-covered ugly.

I thought the gold-antiquated lightbulbs combo couldn't get any worse. I was wrong !

I'm not a huge fan of faux-Victorian ceiling fans, but I've got one in my kitchen, and two others. I have no A/C, and honestly don't really need it. Ceiling fans are amazing at keeping my house cool in the summer, and they allow me to keep some heat in my first floor during the winter. Without the ceiling fans, the upstairs gets a good 15 degrees warmer than the downstairs.

Those fancy designers on HGTV who rip out all the ceiling fans don't have to live with the ridiculously warm and/or cold rooms left behind without the breezes.

Yikes. That does not make the fan look any better.
