Ceiling fans were around longer than AC units. Back in the day they were used on porches so you could enjoy the outdoor humid evenings.
Ceiling fans are available in different finishes, styles and materials, so you can find the perfect accessory no matter what style of home decor you’ve selected. They also provide a source of lighting for the room.
*this is a sponsored/paid post, however, all opinions are authentic and my own*.
I chose Build.com for my shopping and viewing experience while researching for ceiling fans.
Build.com is well-known for it’s customer service and their on-site resources for people looking to improve their homes.
On each product page, there are different sections with PDF instructions, installation videos, Q&A, reviews, and product specialist contact information help.
Our guest room is in the midst of an overhaul.
The first thing I needed to replace was the ceiling fan. It was outdated. Back a few years ago, I did however, jazz it up with my diy drumshade for a ceiling fan.
It did the trick for the past 8 years but it’s time for a change.
Plus as you can see from the above it was brushed silver and after replacing the floors in the bedrooms, it was not a nice compliment to the lovely flooring.
I absolutely love the style and selection I found at Build.com.
Vaxcel Lighting FN52997 Sebring 52″ 5 Blade Indoor Ceiling Fan with Reversible Motor, Chain, Light Kit, and Reversible Blades Included.
With so many choices and styles I had to narrow it down. I want this to be our forever fan. I chose the brushed bronze because it compliments our floors nicely. Build.com had a nice variety and a range of affordable prices. Ranging from as low as 64.99 and up!

One of the nice things about shopping on Build.com is that you can get live help. Clearly, they want to make sure you’re project goes as smoothly as possible.
I love the live chat option and utilize it whenever I see it available. Simply hit Live chat and get connected to a live person! How remarkable these days.
On Build.com they give product specifications, features, technologies and reviews.
If a fan without lighting is more up your alley. They have plenty of those to choose from.
Hunter 52067 Hudson 42″ 5 Blade Ceiling Fan – Blades Included
I will be saving up for this mac daddy of a fan! I want this one for our master bedroom.
I love the unique, vintage style to it. Sure would keep those hot summer nights a whole lot cooler!
MinkaAire F802-ORB Oil Rubbed Bronze 42″ 6 Blade Indoor Ceiling Fan with Blades and Light Kit Included
At Build.com you can find a variety of Kitchen, lighting, Hardware, appliances, Flooring and more. The site is very user friendly and did I mention you can actually speak to a human!
Gosh, I love that.
In reference to the installation of this fan, I would like to note, it was a two man job. I was the girl of course who helped the man! There were some tricky parts that he needed me to hold in place while he drilled. I felt at ease if we ran into an issue we could quickly get help with a chat away. Overall, though it is very well made, instructions were an ease to follow and to say the least, the fan looks gorgeous. I can’t wait to get to the reconstructdoos in there now.
One thing off the list.
What’s your thoughts on ceiling fans? Do you use them?
Thanks for stopping over today. If you are not a regular, I sure would love to see you again.
XO
P.S. The guest room is complete and I am excited to share with you soon. Here is a sneak peek.
See you back soon. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and all good wishes to you!
UPDATE:
Counterclockwise Fan Direction for Cool Summer Savings. In the summer, ceiling fans should rotate counterclockwise to push cool air down to the floor. The cool air evaporates perspiration and creates a wind chill effect, which makes you feel cooler without affecting the room temperature.
Clockwise Fan Direction for Warm Winter Comfort. In the winter, ceiling fans should rotate clockwise at a low speed to pull cool air up. The gentle updraft pushes warm air, which naturally rises to the ceiling, down along the walls and back the floor.
GUEST ROOM FINAL REVEAL HERE
We moved south and now have 15, yes, fifteen, fans, inside and out. The movement of the air is such a pleasure and keeps us from turning on the air. There’s something nostalgic and romantic about a fan during warm weather. Merry Christmas.
Thank you! Same to you. 15 WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW LOL!
I did not read anything about the reverse of the fans in the winter and in the summer. My hubby and I always disagree which way the fans should be going in the summer and in the winter? Debbie?
Read the comments, someone just mentioned that Jeanie..you should do it the opposite way in the winter. I don’t think my husband and I have ever did that, but I am going to try it tonight:)
Counterclockwise for Summer.
Clockwise Fan Direction for Warm Winter Comfort.
I just looked it up and added to the post. Thanks ladies. We all learned a little more something today.
I have 5 ceiling fans and I too love the movement of air that they provide. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Merry Christmas to you too Jessie!
I’ve also learned that most fans have a switch to reverse the direction of the blades. This helps to circulate the warm air that rises to the ceiling in the winter, helping to keep you warm and decreasing heating bills. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! I look forward to seeing more of your posts in the upcoming year
Yes, great point you make Linda! I never thought of that option, but yes, our fans do the same. Thanks. Merry Christmas to you too! XO
i love the fans ialso do what Linda does use it in reverse for winter helps the heat flow .i will be looking for a new fan on this site thanks Deb 🙂
I think some of the TV shows gave ceiling fans a bad rap a while back. We have one over the bed and I love it.
Really? That is cray cray! Who watches TV anyway lol! Merry Christmas Bliss.
We use ceiling fans in every room except dinning and living rooms. Just love them. I have 12 foot ceilings and master is pretty long so have 2 fans inn there. Have 2 on back porch and couldn’t live without them for sure.
Fans are a must have! Love yours!
I absolutely love the fan but I was wondering if you could share the name of the paint color for the bedroom ? I have such an awful time finding the right color and LOVE the color of your walls!!
The color is cappuccino by restoration hardware. We took the swatch to Benjamim moore to color match and use their paint.
thank you so much for sharing!
