Trying to beat the heat

Things are heating up in Utah. It looks like we should be hitting triple digits this week. Unfortunately for us our house has neither central air or a swamp cooler. We have been blowing cold air from our basement up the stairs to try and keep things cool, and it definitely helps. To make sleeping a little bit nicer, we decided to buy some ceiling fans. We went with the cirrus hugger from modern fan. It’s the same fan we had at our last house, and we loved them there. Installation was a breeze (luckily our boxes were already braced for a ceiling fan) and they look great in our room with our new Malm bed and dresser.
Cirrus Hugger Fans available from Y Lighting starting at $304

Malm bed and dresser available from Ikea $149 - $199

    I just bought a Lapa Modern Fan and absolutely love it. It’s SO well made, beautiful, and serious volume of air movement.

    We just installed a Mastercool evaporative cooler and it works very well. It easily cools our entire house at a fraction of the cost of central air. You can also get a big rebate from Utah Power as well. It is well worth the cost (under $1000.00) installation is not too bad either.

    Jacob is lying. Installation sucked. But, he did a great job.

    We need one of those fans for our living room……did you get it locally or order it online?

    What kind of plant is that? My husband and I have been looking for a modern house plant/tree and a ficus just isn’t going to cut it. This looks like it might fit the bill. Can you tell me where I might find one?

    Beth, I think it’s called a fiddlers fig. It’s in the ficus family actually. We call him Mr Figgles.
