Put It To Good Use: Keeping Cool With Vintage Fans


Vintage fans are probably one of my favourite practical household items.  They made them in so many colours, and the great lines they have add instant interest to any room. 



The unrelenting heat has put these fans to good use in our house lately. This robin's egg blue one is my favourite. We have 5 vintage fans in total. Each living in a different room in our house, but this blue one is so bright and compact it's perfect in our
living room. 



A few things to consider with these fans... if you have kids, probably best to keep them up high since their little hands can fit in them really easily. We always have to put these away when little ones are around. Also make sure the electrical is all intact. The motors can get hot and you don't want to make it any hotter in your house than it already is!

This summer heat has been brutal! I love these old fans. So much more character to them! They are decorational & have a purpose!
