My son has my camera this morning so I can't take a current photo of the island and fan. We hadn't planned to replace the countertops, but now I think we are. So probably the wood top on the island will be gone bye-bye. I think I'm also going to get new bar stools.

Opinions please...paint the blades white or leave them?

Here's a photo of the fan (I hate those bright white bulbs!).

You can get replacement blades at the big box stores...might be easier that way.

If you don't like your bulbs in your fan you can get compact fluorescent bulbs that are round and look a lot like regular bulbs. We have them in our ceiling fans. I think we got them at Home Depot or Lowes.

White fan blades would look really nice in your kitchen.

And I know you didn't ask, but I also think that the wood counter top on your island looks very nice.

I went to take mine down to paint white and they were white on the other side so I ended up just having to flip them over.

I think it looks so much better now. What do ya'll think??

barb5, the pull chains do have faceted crystal balls on them. There's also a prism hanging from each arm on the light fixture.

Here's a close-up photo showing them.

I'm surprised that many of you said keep the wood on the island! When we decided to put an island in, I couldn't get a top to match my countertops because I've had them ever since dinosaurs roamed. LOL! The wood was just a desperate measure to have a top for the island. I've always thought I should have all the counters the same, but maybe I need to rethink that.
