Pottery Barn has the brushed steel one on sale for $40. I have it and best part is, it doesn't say Deco Breeze on the front like the colored ones. It also runs super quiet.

Also, on Amazon.com if you search Deco Breeze, you'll find even more colors and patterns and for less than $68.

I have a true vintage fan in a sort of seafoam color.

PRO: It was only about $15.

CON: Watch your fingers-- Safety wasn't such a big concern back then!

I got a silver retro style fan at the Gallery Place Bed, Bath and Beyond that was around $38, it was even cheaper with one of the coupons that come in the mail.

I was just eyeing these up yesterday. I'm boring and would choose black or white to fit w/ my bedroom. I have been considering a real vintage fan for some time now...Molly Margarita, did you have to upgrade the electrical at all?
