Considering A Fandelier For The Bedroom (Do These Actually Work?)

I didn’t get a lot executed on the bed room this weekend as a result of my candy little cat Felicity had a little bit of a medical emergency that resulted in some very unusual habits and sounds that I’ve by no means seen or heard from her within the seven years she’s been with us. And as cats do once they’re sick or not feeling properly, she discovered a hiding spot to get some solitude. I spent hours of my weekend looking each nook and cranny of this home, flashlight in hand and calling her identify, however I couldn’t discover her. I searched from one finish of the home to the opposite about 5 instances on Friday, and nothing. I repeated that at the very least ten instances on Saturday, and nothing.

Earlier than I went to mattress on Saturday evening, I arrange a motion-sensing digicam within the doorway between my studio and the breakfast room in order that I might be notified on my cellphone if and when she walked by. So when she lastly emerged at 10:30pm on Saturday evening, I scooped her up and headed to the emergency vet clinic. We didn’t go away the clinic till 2:30am, after which I didn’t get to mattress till after 3:00am. Lengthy story quick, she’s doing a lot better now, however what they discovered is that she had a mouth damage that was inflicting her extreme ache when she tried to eat or drink. We do not know what triggered this mouth damage, however they gave her some ache meds and antibiotics, and she or he appears to be on the mend now. She hasn’t gone again into hiding since we’ve been again, in order that’s signal.

All of that to say that whereas I did make some progress on the bed room, I didn’t get something truly completed to share with you in the present day. However my total “to do” record for ending the bed room and lobby is getting shorter, and I’ve excessive hopes that I’ll be capable to get each areas completed by the tip of this month. It would really feel so good to get these tasks completed and be capable to transfer on to the subsequent one!

One merchandise I’m contemplating including to my “to do” record for the bed room is changing the ceiling fan within the room. I do know ceiling followers aren’t fairly, however we do dwell in central Texas. And whereas I’ve saved ceiling followers out of our different rooms, a ceiling fan in a bed room is an absolute must-have merchandise for us. It does form of destroy the aesthetic, although. I’m conscious of that.

Over the past yr or so, a number of individuals have really helpful that I look into Fandeliers. These are lights fixtures that appear like a chandelier but in addition have a fan covertly included within the design. A few of them have retractable blades. Others have very small blades which can be hidden within the design of the sunshine fixture.

I had by no means given them a lot of an opportunity as a result of, to be trustworthy, I had by no means seen one which I truly appreciated. However over the weekend, I made a decision to present them a critical look and see if there was something on the market which may truly work in our bed room. This time, I truly did discover some that I like.

Most likely my favorite one is this one (affiliate hyperlink). I do not know if I bought the dimensions proper, however I like the form, the gold accents, and the pure fibers of the shade.

I additionally like this tiered rattan style (affiliate hyperlink). That is the one one which I discovered (and like) that will give some distinction to with the ceiling.

This one is a very simple design (affiliate hyperlink) but it surely’s a Hunter, which is a widely known ceiling fan model, so I like that. It’s additionally the most costly possibility of those I like.

And naturally, I had to include this flower option (affiliate hyperlink) as a result of…properly…I’m me, and I like flowers. However I believe that is in all probability a greater match for one more room and never our bed room.

So there are undoubtedly some choices that I like, and I may see a few of these working rather well in our bed room. However my principal query is that this. Do these truly work? I’m so used to having a very highly effective ceiling fan that circulates a number of air. I simply can’t think about these being comparable because the blades are enclosed in shades. In my thoughts, I can’t think about them circulating as a lot air as a regular ceiling fan. So in case you have expertise utilizing a fandelier, particularly in a bed room, I’d like to know your ideas. Have you ever been proud of it? I’ve spent a number of time studying buyer evaluations on all of those, and despite the fact that they’re all rated 4.1 stars or increased, I simply have a tough time trusting that we’d be proud of it after having such a strong ceiling fan in our bed room.
