Casablanca Cambridge Repaint (not the whole fan)

[Cole S.]

So that Cambridge I got in Montana had some bad scratches on pretty much all of the antique white parts. Since nothing on this fan is really in mint condition, I decided to change up the color and go with a fine textured black. Only touched the white parts, the brass is still in pretty good shape despite some scratches and such. It's shown in a few configurations here, Instagram users have seen me wearing out the #ceilingfan hashtag for the past couple hours posting these different configurations LOL.

17" walnut blades, without and with a corresponding Emerson light kit (that I painted awhile back for my Delta I). Also, a closeup of the finish.




And then with 21" gloss black blades, without and with the light kit. Would love to see it with some matte black blades, but this is still pretty sweet. Thinking I'll do the video in this configuration, shown in Demo with the light kit and the general speed settings without the light.

I knew this finish combo would look awesome.

You should get on Facebook one of these days, some of us refuse to use silly Instagram.

I love that classic Casablanca leaded glass! And the K4S. The finish combination and the blades make it all come together nicely!

Yes you definitely had the right idea, confirmed my thoughts that it would look great when you mentioned it. Vincent suggested black blades, which was another killer idea.

And thanks Vincent, I know you already saw it a few times lol.

Love it, with the wood blades.

I also refuse to use instagram, and I dont put fan photos on Facebook.

Very cool. IMO The black blades really make the brass pop the best. I'm just a Facebook person, and like Dan I never post fans anywhere but here.

Looks great Cole, great job on the finish!

[Cole S.]

Thanks for the comments, guys.

Ouff! It's not the best match but it's passable especially without the light kit. With the light kit it's too black and with the black blades even more. I like it on the first picture. That was a risqué match of colors and style. Unless you did not had any good white blades at all to use on it you could have just repaint the ivory parts in white.

I laughed quite hard about the silly Instagram vs silly Facebook.

[Cole S.]

Didn't know if you'd like it or not lol. I didn't have second thoughts about it, some Victorians came in this combo so I knew it'd look good in my eyes at least. I can always get any blades I need had I wanted to go with white, but I wanted to do something different and very unconventional.

To be off subject.. They're all silly in my opinion.. Seems like everyone has to look down at their phones all the time.. Some should pay more attention in the "Realistic" world than the virtual world.. This needs a thread all of it's own..
