My husband used a rug pad to create a checkered finish on the fan blades. The fan turned out great and looks like a new fan. Scroll down for directions on how to refresh a dated ceiling fan with spray paint! We spent under $25 on materials (new outdoor fans cost over $100). And while we took these steps for our outdoor fan, the same process would apply to an indoor fan, too.

Two weeks ago I shared our daughter's bedroom makeover and today I am back to share her 10 year old brother's room! Our son has a lot of interests: everything from dinosaurs to drawing to pirate ships. It was a lot of fun to include his interests in his bedroom while also making the room more grown up.
I partnered with Hunter Fan Company and Sherwin-Williams on this makeover project. The Cranbrook ceiling fan design in black with light blue-gray Misty SW 6232 by Sherwin-Williams give his bedroom personality and style—perfect for a preteen space!

I'm thrilled to share our daughter's room makeover with you this morning! She is 8, almost 9 and is at the beginning of the tween/preteen years. I partnered with Hunter Fan Company and Sherwin-Williams on the project because I am always beyond impressed with the quality of their products!
Our daughter has a fun and artistic personality and I didn't want to limit that with neutral colors. So together we picked a light blue-grey paint called Misty SW 6232 by Sherwin-Williams. And used Hunter Fan's Cranbrook design in mint overhead.

When we moved into our home 3 years ago we brought with us 1 petite sofa from our Saint Paul house to place in our living room. Our move from Minnesota to North Carolina doubled our square footage--and it has taken time to fill the space! 3 years ago we said hello to brass trim on the fireplace and mini blinds on all the windows. It wasn't a space that needed to be gutted, but it was PLAIN. I brainstormed ideas for high ceilings and later a $300 leather sectional from Craigslist.
Slowly we improved living room. I've created a room with an eclectic mix of modern, global, and vintage influences. A few pieces of art on the walls. Better carpet. A few accent chairs from the thrift store. And today I'm thrilled to share with you our ceiling fan upgrade and how it influences the space for good!

Last year I updated our primary bedroom with fresh paint, nightstands, and curtains. It warmed up the space, but there was still an eyesore in the room... the 1990’s style ceiling fan.
It just wasn't in the budget at the time to upgrade. And I had this idea in my head that I couldn't find a reasonably priced, well-styled ceiling fan. Since then I researched and discovered there are a lot of nice ceiling fans for under $250!
