Not long after we moved in, we noticed there were no ceiling lights in any of the bedrooms, this is most obvious when you realize you didn't pack a single lamp in the stuff that you have been trucking in every night. It was a bummer but something that could be fixed. I knew it could be fixed because I've installed ceiling fans in the old house. I also knew, after that experience, that it wasn't something I wanted to do. Luckily I know a general contractor and I've even ridden bikes with him. He gave us a quote to put in ceiling fan boxes in each bedroom and today he started and finished the work. I am delighted with the work done, everything looks great and now I just need to install the fans, something I've done before and don't mind doing.
Here's the first fan in our bedroom. We're still waiting on our bed before sleeping in there. We did get the back wall painted a lighter color as an accent wall.
Here's my daughter's room. It's the most complete of all the rooms so far. She loves it! whenever anyone asks her what her favorite room in the new house is, it's always 'my bedroom'.
I think we should get a copy of
Cinderella ate my daughter before it's too late!
We splashed out on switches like this. They allow us to control the fan and the light from the wall with only one wire (and no need to punch holes in the wall). They also allow us to get little remotes off ebay and we can control the fans from our bedside, awesome!
