Fanfare II
Recently, I was perusing a realtor friend’s ‘listing of the day’, an immaculately stylish home with an unusually acute attention to detail. Rather than the typically staged-for-sale look of many homes on the market, this house was truly and authentically stylish. As I’m admiring the decor (minimalist modern glamour), I about chocked on my coffee as the ceiling fans came into view: horrible but more importantly, so completely out of place in rooms exhibiting such careful consideration to detail.
Simply, you cannot overlook this one item. Without sounding too melodramatic, a cheap, Home Depot-issued fan neutralizes nearly all of a room’s good decor and design. It’s like a wrong note in a Sonata. Here I introduced my favorite, but if your ceilings are low and require a flushmount/hugger style, this is the jam.

Was this our home you’re referring to? I’m thinking no because of the “an immaculately stylish home with an unusually acute attention to detail. ” but we do have very plain fans!
No, it wasn’t. The anonymous house is anonymous to me as well. The realtor is located in another state. 🙂
