gawdy ceiling fan light

19 years ago

I just purchased a new house that has a lovely vaulted ceiling in the living room. It came with an inexpensive ceiling fan which is suspended by an approx. 2 ft pole with a gawdy lamp that has a white round globe. Might anyone have a suggestion on what I might do to improve the look of the lighting, I do wish to keep the ceiling fan.

Thanks,

You can change out the light kit for something with multiple bulbs and glass shades, like these: http://www.bellacor.com/results.cfm?Cat=24&Page=1&Reset=1&Cat_Referer=1

You can also paint the ceiling fan - there are spray paints that simulate aged bronze, satin nickel, etc. It's tedious because you have to take the fan apart to get it right, but it's very inexpensive to do that.
