We have fans in every single bedroom, plus the living room. And we live in Texas. So as much as I would loveto replace the fans with some fun and stylish light fixtures, this is one instance when function wins over form. We need our fans. :)
But surely there is a way to modernize these very standard, ho-hum fans, right? Surely we can do better than those four little standard glass covers, as seen in the picture below:
We followed the instructions from this post from Thrifty Decor Chick and removed the glass shades and added a basic white lampshade for an instantly updated, modern look.

If you are looking for a how to, I would recommend reading the Thrifty Decor Chick post. To be honest, I still don't quite understand how it was done. Nick was the brainchild behind this operation. I was just the idea person :)
But anyway, I really like how the fan now complements the modern lines of my new entryway light, rather than detracting from it.
I am still debating the size of the shade. Should I try to find one that is shorter lengthwise? Does the shade seem disproportionately large? The scale looks about right in the pictures (especially next to the entryway light), but I keep doubting the scale in person. Thoughts?
