I am a FAN of fans! But, I love chandeliers too...what to do?

Morgan and Hayley's rooms are upstairs and it is really warm all year round.  Since that's okay in the winter, I haven't worried about it up to now.  However, summer is creapin up on us and I am a huge celebrator of warmer weather (I get my projects done when it's nice out!)  It has been really nice outside, but the girls' rooms have been a little warm.  They have old fashioned barn lights that look like this:

Morgan's is red and Hayley's is blue.  I love the style of this light and plan to repurpose these on the sunporch or somewhere in the house, I'll get back to you on that! 

For replacement, I really wanted to put up a grand bright colored chandelier like these:

I also love the capiz chandeliers:

West Elm

I have seen/read about some clever bloggers that have made these out of wax paper and patiently glued/ironed/sewed them together.  I have 7 month old baby-I don't have time to do this.  Who am I kidding?  I have decorating ADD and probably couldn't sit still long enough for this to get done, even if I didn't have any kids-I have so many projects going right now anyway!

My current projects: I am working on all of these right now in some stage or another!

OH EM GEE!!  There I go again with the ADD!! Back to the fan issue in the girls' rooms. Sorry!

 However, the girls need a ceiling fan.  Mr. TSL wouldn't go for this :

I wouldn't either, but I thought it was super funny!  I love the label in the middle that says ceiling fan-just in case you were wondering!

What about a compromise?!?  A combo of a fan and a chandelier?

hahaha. they have vaulted ceilings this could work-Please tell me you can tell I am being sarcastic?  Can you?  I am-being sarcastic!  This looks like an electrical fire waiting to happen!  Not to mention it's just dumb!

I would call this the fandelier!  So, I typed in fandelier into google and it pulled up one of my new blogs I stalk LURVE !  House Tweaking!!

She dubbed hers a fandelier too! But hers is BA (that's bad ass, for you non-potty mouthers) !

I can do this!  I am going to paint the girls' white though!  We already have fans with no lights so I am purchasing the light kits and I got 2 capiz shell hangings for $20 each from the World Market-I bought online because ours is like an hour away! 

Yes, this is another project I started!  Don't judge me! Hello, my name is "Kari and I have decorating ADD."  This is where you say, "Hello Kari-it's okay do what ever you want!"  You think you feel bad reading about Mr. TSL lives with it!!
