my mom loves her ceiling fan (yuk) but has also always wanted a chandelier in her bedroom.

Any way to affix one or make one? Ideas?

Thanks so much

HI -- Robin please , you do not need a 10 foot high ceiling to have a ceiling fan . I have standard 8 foot ceilings and have had a ceiling hugger fan for years and I live with tall people .Last time I looked everyone still has heads attached ! Ceiling hugger fans are still best sellers and the rod does not even need to used to hang it up . I would not be without my fan , I even use it in the winter too. Not liking ceiling fans is something that started from a stupid show on HGTV called Trading Spaces years ago. That dumb show gave designers a bad name . People - get over the ceiling fan issue ! And I am trying to still get over that stupid show ,thanks !

If you search Google for "ceiling fan chandelier" (no quotes), you'll find a number of options. Apparently your mom isn't the only one looking for this -- they're also called fandeliers!

The fan delivers are wonderful. However you need a minimum of 10 ft ceiling height to make it work on a short rod.

Here are some fan light combos. I think I would get a pretty chandelier and buy a $20'standing fan for next to the bed! Smile!

@lefty46 Trading spaces? I seem to recall knowing someone who watched that. Their opinion of it was not much higher than yours I'm afraid. :) I started watching HGTV within the last several years so I haven't seen any of the older era shows yet. Maybe YouTube? I could try.
I have had heard good things about Designing for the Sexes, did you like that?

I like the third option Mia posted but she does have a point. Maybe a fan next to the bed would solve a lot of problems!

HI - Yes HGTV used to have some great shows in the beginning and I did watch most of the bad ones too . They were a point of discussion . I enjoy the ones where they teach you things and talk to the audience like they are normal people and not little children or idiots . I think I remember Designing for the Sexes , it taught people to compromise .That was the one with that designer Michael Somebody I think . I love Sarah Richardson's shows and have watched her from her beginnings . I hate the computation shows , they serve no purpose and I hate the shows that are acted out like the Love it or list it ones but I do like the before and after results . I seem to enjoy the ones to find the best designer , but you never see anybody after they have won ... odd . I just realized that I waste way too much time watching HGTV .

Yes. It seems to be getting easier and easier to stop watching their shows. These days if you've seen one you've seen them all! I miss
the Dear Gennive days. The days where you watch actual designers who didn't renovate your home in a week! And all of the products were not from sponsored companies! :) Oh well it was fun while it lasted.

As for now I'd better stop cluttering someones thread with off topic discussions!
