Our home comes with 2 ceiling fan pre-wiring in the formal living room and the master bedroom, but Darren and I added 2 more in our upstairs loft and my downstairs study. After living in Hawaii for 6-1/2 years and had ceiling fans at our Maui house, we knew we wanted to have them in the rooms that we spend the most time in.
We saw these 54-inch Hunter ceiling fans at Costco many months ago. Just like our Samsung refrigerator, I have been keeping an eye on them and the price every week to see if they would go on sale. Finally, back in June, they went from $139.99 each down to $60.00 each! The new lower price was handwritten on the tag, so I asked the manager if they truly were $60 each or if I misread it. The manager replied: “Yes, they are $60 each! We are trying to move this product quickly.” So Darren and I grabbed 3 of them that day. I was going to grab the 4th one for my study, but it seemed like a pretty big fan for my smaller office.
We love these fans! Not only do they add a nice “farmhouse” feel to the house, they also help circulate the air on those warmer days. We hired an electrician to install them a few days before we moved in. It worked out great because there was no other furniture in the house except for the couches.
We have used them a few times since we moved in, but didn’t realize that our youngest cat, Sidney, is actually deadly terrified of the fans especially when the blades are moving. So now we have to use them when he’s not in the room. I hope he’ll get used to them soon, but luckily the insulation at our house is AMAZING, and we barely need to turn on the A/C or these fans. Here is the one in our formal living room…
And here is the other one in our upstairs loft…
I finally found a slightly smaller fan for my study, but it also has the wooden blades with different farmhouse lights to tie in with the rest of the fans in the house! We absolutely like the look of them. What do you think?
