A cool breeze

This weekend was no doubt HOT. Especially after the chilly weekend we endured last weekend. Cale and I spent the weekend cleaning out and organizing our shed, and thank goodness we found some fans from my dorm room college days. Though due to the inherent ugliness of the boring oscillating white fan, Cale and I made a quick trip to Home Depot for a $5 can of metallic spray paint. The result:




Camera died right after this picture. Kind of off on the color but you get the idea


Much better than a boring white fan. It’s different. As Cale describes it “shiny.” But much better than trashing a perfectly good working fan and better than spending $30 for something similar. Too bad today we woke up to clouds and a forecasted high of 60.

    Hey Stephanie!
    Thanks for the comment! How funny that you went to Fresno State too– I’ve actually checked out your other blog before but I’ve been bad and haven’t left a comment yet. (Your blog was SUCH a great idea!! Love it. Can totally relate to wanting nice stuff for less! Who couldn’t?!) Haha, I love that you said you were “that” person that never read the Collegian– I know, sometimes I wondered if anyone ever read my articles! ha. What was your major at Fresno State? Oh, and I love the fan btw!
