Friday Favorites... Fans

Our temperature reached 90 today- it's time to start talking FANS!

Ceiling fans are mostly ugly, occasionally bearable, and on a very rare occasion beautiful.  I found a few beautiful fans and thought I'd pass them along.  They are from Aria Ventilatori.  They sport hand-carved blades with flared tips and fabulous cast iron bodies.  

 

I was in a ceiling fan store about a year ago- and there was an amazingly beautiful fan- but when I asked, I found it was not for sale.  It was an antque that the owner had picked up.  Sad that nothing in the shop could hold a candle to it.  These fans were inspired by a fan found in an antique shop in Florence.   

Check out the diverse interiors you can see this fan in.  A very transitional style.  The line offers two distinct designs, Aliseo and Maestralino.

 What do you think?  Is anyone out there as big a fan of the fans as I am?

 

A Few of My Favorite Things

I love herringbone floors., herringbone fireplaces, and herringbone fabrics.

I love Neirman Weeks. Above is one of their adds. I also love mossy brick. I adore the use of the screen outside. I like the juxtaposition of crisp white with the green earthy feel.

I love these drapes from Anthropologie. I love the attention to detail- the pleats- the tucks- the whole thing.

Of course I also love frozen yogurt with marshmallow sauce and Rascal Flatts. :)

So there- what are a few of your favorite things?
