Kelly and I are both contemplating bathroom renovations. Kelly is looking to add a clean, spa-like midcentury look to her primary suite bathroom for her 60’s Deck House. My midcentury cottage has a small main bath. I’m looking to add colorful floor to ceiling tile to match the cozy charm of the rest of the home similar to the photo below. Always, looking for inspiration I found this trendy article on House Beautiful here. Enjoy!

Electrical ceilings fans were invented in the 1880’s and have long been a part of our life here in the South coming into play somewhere between electricity in the home in the 1900’s and air conditioning finding its place in the 1950’s. They became out of vogue for a few decades until the energy crisis of the 1970’s found them to provide efficiency. The popularized 1980’s version seemed to get its aesthetic from the original turn of the century style. Today, ceiling fans are common place in providing comfort for our homes and there are fans for most any style of home. Atomic Ranch assembled a modern and mid-century collection you can find here. Please enjoy and stay cool this summer!
