So as the bonus room comes together, we finally have the next things picked out! Lighting and a fan. It was actually hard to find a fan--really hard. Because of the lower ceilings, we couldn't have a light on it otherwise we would be constantly bumping our heads... and because the ceilings are slanted the fan had to be less than 50''. It's a lot harder than it seems! Then we stumbled upon this guy...
The best part?? It was only $70. I can't say it's perfect...I mean, honestly, fans are pretty ugly. But it serves it's purpose and met all of our specifications. It is also much more modern than what is currently in there. Our lighting is going to be MUCH improved as well. It's going from this ugly "school lights" as I like to call them.
To this!....
"Track" lighting from the Home Depot. Ohhhh...ahhh!
Unfortunately, the previous owners just screwed the lights and fan right into the ceiling drywall, mounted on nothing. So it took a couple of extra steps than we imagined, but the room is really coming together.
Especially if you compare it to the before....
Ooooo, ahhhhh. Love it.
