He installed it one day while I was gone, without any help. He says it wasn't a big deal and that it's just a ceiling fan....but I still say, "He's amazing!" I love it, and it fits our room perfectly!
(FYI: I always knew that ceiling fans could go different directions, but I didn't know that you are supposed to set it a certain direction for winter and summer. Did you guys know this? I found this out while reading the end of the instructions for installing-such a silly thing, but I had no idea!)

I wanted to get it framed for him for Christmas, but we found out that it would cost a pretty little penny. Michaels said it would cost over $1,000!!
So, Kenyan decides....he can build a frame for it himself. And guess what, he did!! For how much you ask? Around $80! Take that Michaels! The final product:
The picture doesn't do it justice, but you kind of get the idea. He had to make it slightly deeper because the scroll has a thick rod at the bottom in order to roll it up.

okay, praise to Kenyan because Matt and I had to install 8 ceiling fans in our new huose and I swear it almost ended our marriage! LOL It's HARD!
The frame looks awesome! Glad you didn't have to pay 1000 that's ridiculous!
That is awesome! I am coveting your fan because I have wanted that one for a long time. Our fan went out a while ago and then I almost bought it, but then Chuck fixed the old broken one (blasted handy husbands) :)
Way to go, Kenyan! I wouldn't have even thought to make a frame. I can hardly wait to see the real thing!
So great. Kenyan is almost as crafty as you.
I love that he was so thoughtful and did it as a surprise for you. It is a lovely ceiling fan. And what could be better than a custom frame made by Kenyan himself for his scroll from the mission?
