blessedstar 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2014 I am! Renos almost finishing now, but I thought it be good to document what went on, maybe can help others. I don't think I did as much homework comparing quotes and all (not as hardworking!), but perhaps by sharing some of the vendors and products that were good (which I used), can also be a good reference point for others Sorry ah, noob question - how to upload pics here ah?

blessedstar 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) Ahhh! Can! Success!Maybe I start by documenting my search for a ceiling fan. I really love beautiful fans, so I looked at the Haiku, Aeratron, Sycamore and also the Spin fan. But because my ceiling is quite low, I narrowed down to the Haiku and Spin fan, with the smallest drop-down of 10" from ceiling to blade. Both uses DC motor, very quiet and energy efficient.I ended up buying the Spin fan in Savannah color (gorgeous wood), but ended up getting a big NO NO from my ID because he says the Haiku in cocoa (dark brown) would go better with the decor. Yikes! So now gotta sell the fan. ANYONE INTERESTED?? I have two SPIN fans in the gorgeous wood color for sale, if anyone keen, drop me a PM and we can talk offline Edited March 25, 2014 by blessedstar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blessedstar 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2014 The other ceiling fan I saw and liked also is the Minka Aire Artemis fan, sold at Elmark. Very beautifully sculptured, but when I went to test the fan, I felt it didn't move a lot of wind Still find that the Haiku and Spin fans are best in moving wind.Also installed KDK fans in my other bedrooms. M11SU (shortest blade at 44") in my smaller bedrooms, but this is already discontinued, very hard to find this model now. R48SP in the other bedrooms, 48" blade. Both tested and good at moving wind in the rooms Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greglhc 30 Report post Posted March 26, 2014 I just wanted to chime is that the fan is very nice!You may wish to consider just staining it yourself to the desired colour since it's already wood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
