Ceiling fans are great for circulating air in the room, but if you don't love it - stick with a lovely decorative light fixture. A simple tabletop fan may be enough for cooling you down in the summer, especially since you are up north.

That's a great idea - we'll go that route so we have more options down the road. Thanks for all the good advice!

I don't care for the look of them - but living "down South" they are a necessity...especially in the bedroom.

if you don't need it, or want it...then..... If you like a fan at night then.....
