I am always amazed at how sometimes a really small change just makes so much difference.  Living in the desert, AC and a ceiling fan in every room to keep the air moving are major necessities.  Just the right ceiling fan can also make or break a room.

Case in point my family room area next to the kitchen.  This isn't a big room at all - 12 x 15, but it is the place we like to hang out and we definitely need a ceiling fan.  This room has 81/2 Ft. ceilings.  I know that is a weird size, rooms are usually 8-9-10 and sometimes even 12 or like our living/dining  - two story.  Anyway the first ceiling fan I bought is the kind we usually buy, but it just seemed to overpower this small room.  All you saw was ceiling fan.  I changed it out for what they call a "Low Profile White Ceiling Hugger".  This makes such a big difference.  You don't just see fan.
See how nice this looks, it doesn't dominate the room.

This was with the Oil Rubbed Bronze one that I originally bought.  You notice the ceiling fan before you notice anything else.  (This one is moving up to the loft, it will be perfect there.)

The other small change is the candle sconces around my horse painting.  I wasn't sure if they kind of took over the space or not, but I think the wall needs them.  They look so nice and I really love them.  If you need something that makes a statement, these are it.  I got them at Z-Galleri...
