Our nursery is in a home 100+ years old. We wanted vibrancy, no pastels and chose eggshell walls (6 coats!) with candy-apple trim and black accents. Daddy hand-made the crib. Best part: totally unfinished when I went into labor a month early, daddy completed it in 36 hours!

Small Space Questions: Wall Mountable Fans for Small Rooms

I just bought a 600 sq. foot condo in an association that doesn’t have a fitness center. This meant that I had to forfeit an entire bedroom wall for an elliptical cross trainer! I also need a tall fan in front of it blowing directly on my face/torso. The space would look less cluttered if a fan could be mounted on some kind of an arm that came out of the wall (up high). Do you know of anything like that?
