*finally* found the right fixture for my low-ceiling bedroom!
Comments (58)Thanks southernheart :) I know it's not everyone's taste, but I thought I'd share because we have a 70s house with the 8' ceilings and it's been nigh on to impossible to find an interesting ceiling fixture, much less one that reflects 'us' as much as this one does. It reflects us so much that last night realized what it's been reminding me of this whole time: amphibian egg masses! :) Backstory: DD and DH volunteered last year and are about to do so again this year with Metro, the local environmental authority, to find and monitor amphibian egg masses in one of Metro's preserves. They loved doing it, loved writing up field notes, it's become a strangely large part of our lives--because of last year's field notes DD's maybe going to write field notes about wildlife observation at the preserve in general -- pretty big honor for an 11 yo :) -- and darned if the little cipollini don't look like amphibian egg masses, some bigger, some smaller, some that didn't 'take' at all...so it's a wonderful, if somewhat odd, sign of spring up there :) (and don't worry, we won't share our personal image with any potential buyers when they come through years from now LOL) pbrisjar, I've been there the first year it opened, to get DH some unreal chocolates for VDay. OH yeah, it's definitely great. If you come visit, we'll go there, o.k.? :)...See MoreCoffering the bedroom ceiling for a ceiling fan
Comments (3)How about a wall mounted fan? Consider fans from Matthews fans and Fanimation. There are a few more options. I have 8' ceilings and the huggers are wonderful and work very well. My huggers are from Modern fan. I saw that Matthews Fan just added a ceiling hugger that is also very appealing. Good luck!...See MoreSize of ceiling fan (with light) for master bedroom

Comments (5)While I think the fandelier you're considering would work, I personally think overhead lighting such as that tends to look harsh and uninviting. Do you need the climate control a fan provides? Where I live, it's a must, but it all depends on what your needs are. If you do need a fan, I would go with a ceiling fan with an unobtrusive look. If you don't need a fan, then a chandelier in a unique style that would provide soft ambient lighting would be a better choice than a fandelier in my opinion....See MoreVAval
