Agreed... the original habitat is very cool. Just don't let Trading Spaces visit these homes!

A lot of those "re-fab" shows tend to take out the ceiling fans. I was watching one, I forget what it was called, on A&E or TNT or TBS or one of those extended cable channels . . . they were working on this beautiful 80s-style home, the main room had high vaulted wood ceilings with lots of skylights and track lighting . . . and on very long downrods, many many ceiling fans. The fans themselves were nothing special, but there they were, lots of them. And when the house was done, the wood ceiling was done over in drywall, with a spattering of recessed lights (I like recessed lights but there werent very many), an oversized modern chandelier, and one ugly Hampton Bay fan. ONE fan, in a room that had previously been home to five or six. And the ceiling was at least 15', so I am sure that one fan was not doing a thing!

Since no one yet is discussing the fans and the pictures themselves, I'll start that.
The black Delta II and the brass Delta I in the first few pics . . . those are my favorite "setting" pics of the whole bunch. Almost any decent fan would look cool in those places. I love vaulted ceilings. I wonder if I could put any fan in those settings, what fan I would chose.
The Four Seasons . . . is it K63 or K55?
The brown Zephyr . . . I know they're not rare with the pretzel brackets, but every time I see them they surprise me. I actually think I like them better than the standard brackets.
Codep Ornate Hugger . . . I've always liked these, this is the first time I've ever seen one installed.
Commander Spinner with light . . . I NEVER liked these. Never liked them. I had a 36" one and sold it. This one here shocked me because I really like it. I think it's the combination of the fan and light. It looks very very very 70s.
1895s . . . I like the brown/brass and the two ornate ones. Who's seen these ornate ones before? Anyone have any? I've passed up quite a few changes to get them and I regret it now.
The plastic Emerson on the front porch . . . can anyone identify exactly what version that is? It doesnt have the small switch housing and fiberglass blades i.e. the earliest ones, but the motor housing looks bigger than the later ones Adam has.
Fanimation . . . I really really like that fan in that setting.
Homestead . . . catch the spiral downrod and the canopy.
Hunter Comfort Breeze AB . . . I WANT IT. Too bad it's probably LONG GONE.
Hunter Reversaire Brown . . . that room needs two fans. It doesnt really like like a "brown Original room" . . . again, if you could put any fan there, what would you choose?
Quoitzel hugger . . . looks to be the same as the one on eBay. I wonder if the eBay one had the housing painted?
View Fan . . . I've seen one with those vents before but I cant place where. It's probably in one of our galleries.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
First Unknown fan . . . this is the one I'd really like to identify. I just cant tell from the picture. It reminds me of those Master Crafts, it also reminds me of a Patton.
The 4 blade Hugger looks like a Codep, but I havent seen a motor housing like that before, so I really dont know. Anyone?
ID those and the rest of the unknown fans . . . and discuss all those I mentioned and those I didnt!

I see a supreme ceiling fan in one of those pictures..
All those houses look very modern looking, they all must have been remodeled. I'm surprised all those vintage ceiling fans are still there. Usually when a house is remodeled they replace the ceiling fans too...

The very last fan on the proch is an Emerson patio fan from the early 90's. I used to have a brochure that would have proved it.

Also, where did these pictures come from? I am curious to see what the fan demographics are of these regions.

No, he's saying the fans were from when the houses were built and the houses were remodeled and the fans were left in place. Obviously those houses are from the late 70s and 80s and the one with those white Originals is from the 90s and some others are too. Several of those houses must have been remodeled. The cabinets, appliances, flooring, and other light fixtures are too modern looking to have been from the 70s or 80s. BTW, I LOVE all of those oak stained 6 panel doors. Most of those are definately original to those houses, because people are too cheap to use them now. I wanted to get those for my house, but they are too expensive. (about $200 each!) Strange they redid the kitchen where that little Emerson was, but left it and the 70s paneling in the living room! What is that little white spinner in the office pic? It looks to be less than 36". The house with the Casas and blue walls is probably more than 80 years old.

That's why I hate those shows. I don't CARE what is new and modern these days, I like QUALITY things, of which most new things seem to be lacking.

I will be the first one to admit; several of the fans on these shows do need to be ripped down. However, it would be nice to have ANOTHER fan in it's place- there is more to life then dinky "chandeliers" and can lighting. In the rare occasion that a ceiling fan is actually installed, it is usually something low grade. You can still buy a decent fan, but on these shows the idea is the Hell with quality, we just want something pretty and cheap. That should be the motto of this country sometimes, but I digress...

The fans were installed in the late 1970s early 1980s, and the houses were recently remodeled....
