I think the fan on the beam would look terrible.

Agreed - not on beam. I also agree about using white to be invisible. However, these new propeller styles are being done in beautiful wood that will compliment your beam. Either way, I’d stay at 60” or less. You’ll still get plenty of airflow. More importantly, see if you can find fans with quiet mechanisms. Here are photos of what I mean

Casablanca fans really are, in my opinion, the best. I didn't buy them, they were in a house I lived in. They were about 40-50 years old and still fantastic. You can also buy them refurbished... there is a person on eBay who refurbishes/resells them. Perfect vintage for a mid-century house.

Thanks everyone for sharing your thoughts an opinions. RL Relocations, I do appreciate you sharing your opinions with me, but you need to realize that 1) your opinions are not fact, and 2) even if they were, there is no reason to be an A-hole about it, especially when someone is asking questions and looking for advice.

When you preface something with I'm sorry, that means your not trying to be an Ass. Sometimes you just need to bring a point to life with a little zest. No one is here based on FACT is subjective opinion. Also if you think a 7 foot is the right size than buy it. But it will be an issue with the slop.

Yeah, I don't agree with that. I don't personally think that saying "Sorry...." or "Not to be _______...." before a message absolves you of responsibility for the content of that message. Responding by asking someone what planet they are on, or including 22 questions marks at the end your question is just rude and unnecessary. I think that if you feel the need to include a disclaimer like "Sorry" before your message, than that is an opportunity to pause to reflect and consider whether or not your message is helpful, appropriate, or needed.

I feel that when we respond negatively to people who open up to ask a question, and in doing so admitting their ignorance on a topic, then we are discouraging them, and anyone else who might see the interaction from reaching out to ask questions in the future. These types of reactions contribute to our collective ignorance, and general disconnectedness of our society. I think that we as individuals, have a far greater ability to shape our country and world through the many small choices we make on a daily basis, then any politicians or celebrities. We all bear the weight of that responsibility. I would encourage you and everyone else to consider that when choosing how to interact with people, on the internet or otherwise.

Drew- Seemed like RL Relocation was trying to provide a bit of levity into our otherwise gray and dreary lives and that you are having a bad day and taking out your general unhappiness about the world on an innocent contributor.

If you were actually offended you should just say so. How does calling someone an A-hole contribute to the connectedness of society?.

I AM sorry if this comment offends you, but hopefully you will grow and learn from it. Your response is not at all proportional to the perceived slight. And really, it's a tiny bit much that you're correcting other people's posts when your own was so incredibly offensive.

RL was trying to help, if you don't like RL's advice, don't take it.

You know, sometimes you just have to call a spade a spade. And how does that help? I think that standing up to bullies is needed. Hopefully it can encourage them to reconsider how they treat people, and if not, at least feel it may make them a little less comfortable acting that way in the future. Letting someone treat you like an A-hole and not saying anything about it does nothing to help the multitude of people who will be forced to endure that kind of behavior down the road.

Name calling, such as calling people bullies for no reason, is inappropriate, so please stop. Hope you have a better day! I'm sure that ordinarily you're an absolute delight!
