RIGHT FAN INSTALLATION: https://www.airconditionersductless.com/ Ceiling fan blade spans range from 29 – 54 inches - the most popular being the 52-inch model. To determine which size you need, measure the room where the ceiling fan will be installed and follow these guidelines: Room Dimensions Suggested Fan Size Up to 75 ft2 .....29 – 36" 76 – 144 ft2 .....36 – 42" 144 – 225 ft2 ......44" 225 – 400 ft2...... 50 – 54" Choosing the Appropriate Mounting System Ceiling fans should be installed, or mounted, in the middle of the room and at least 7 feet above the floor and 18 inches from the walls. If ceiling height allows, install the fan 8 - 9 feet above the floor for optimal airflow. Standard mounts come with a 3 – 5 inch downrod, which is the metal pipe that extends from the ceiling bracket to the top of the fan. Downrods are usually either 1/2 or 3/4-inch in diameter. Extended mounts can be used to hang the ceiling fan at the desired 8– 9 feet from the floor for tall ceiling heights. Downrods can be purchased from 6 inches (9 ft ceiling) to 120 inches (20 ft ceiling). Check with the manufacturer or sales associate to determine the right downrod length for you. Flush mounts anchor the fan directly against the ceiling. Most standard fans can be installed as a flush mount however, many manufacturers sell “hugger” or “low profile” ceiling fans that are specifically designed for this purpose. Hugger fans are ideal for rooms that have ceilings under 8 feet in height or in situations where a fan with optional light would hang down too low. Hugger fans will not move as much air as a regular fan because the blades are closer to the ceiling.

Talked to builder the reason there is drywall space on the 2 story great room between the windows is because the roof overhang with the covered deck would not allow them to add more than 2 smaller windows in the mid drywall area. As it is now we will have 4 3x6 windows near the ceiling and 4 3x6 closer to floor. A suggestion was add 1 foot transoms to windows closer to the floor but theres no room to add them to the windows closer to the ceiling. So the choice is leave alone as they are now drywall space will be approx 3 and a half feet or add transoms lower windows only and have 2 and a half drywall feet. What would look best ? These sre the only options unless we centered 2 smaller windows in middle of drywall which im not sure about. Need to give them answer mondayI say. please help. thank you!

I kind of like the fireplace. It's nice to have a fireplace bridging the living room and dining room, making both spaces feel cozier. But it really makes no sense as the location for the TV. Just look at the renderings. How does anyone sitting on the sofa along that window wall even see the TV? Patricia Colwell called it--you need a different furniture layout and/or a different TV location. Something worth figuring out before wiring is done, or masonry designed for a TV inset.

Its a personal preference. I have ceilings, that are painted same as the walls, in the bedrooms, and bathrooms and laundry room, but, I prefer white in kitchen, living room, and dining room, and also the hallways.
