new old fan.

So Katie surprised me with this fan a couple of months ago and I have been meaning to mention it on my house blog ever since because it is perfect and goes wonderfully with my house. Found at a garage sale where she also found an old, über-cool door that she turned into a corner shelf that looks perfect in her place. A little WD40 once in a while is all it takes to quiet the squeaking and it is so much better than a new one from Restoration Hardware cos this is actually old and comes complete with a bunch of squeaky character.

I do love a good summer garage sale.

Oh, and she found that lamp for me, too which nearly perfectly matches a floor tripod/surveyor's lamp that I already have in my living room.
