Easy Breezy: Decorating with Vintage Fans
Vintage household appliances are always an interesting addition to room — they add a certain charm and style to a home, no matter the over-all aesthetic you're going for. But, what really seals the deal for decorating with these vintage items is when they're still functional!
Sleeping with a fan on, especially in the summer, is essential in many households. Turn them off during the day to save electricity, but crank those babies at night! If you're in need of a desk fan and don't want to succumb to the ugly modern day interpretations, try a vintage fan.
They're super attractive and often they're still fully functional and really easy to come across. Place one on top of a stack of books on your bedside table or if you have a collection; bunch them up on top of a bookshelf if you just have them just for aesthetics.
Vintage fans are perfect little gems that have form and function on lock down!
IMPORTANT NOTE: As some wise readers have pointed out below in the comments, there are safety concerns to be aware of when considering actually using vintage fans, rather than just displaying them, so please consider carefully whether or not it is something that will be safely usable in your home.

Slippery Fingers: When Auto Correct Goes Awry, Decorating and Decor Does, Too!

In today's Daily Mail profile about predictive texting—otherwise known as auto correct—a mom erroneously switches the words "Santa" and "Satan." Heavens, no! Curious, we browsed Damn You Auto Correct, a lovable blog that chronicles the texting imbroglios on phones near and far, in search of chatter about decorating and decor. The texter here, for example, confused the word "fault" and with the word "fauteuil," which so happens to be an elegant type of upholstered armchair. Check out the full photogallery after the jump—the font size is small, but some content may not be SFW.

The Guilt-Trip Christmas Decorating Award
This one goes to the inimitable design-world couple Bunny Williams and John Rosselli, who bedecked their 19th-century Connecticut house with their collection of Neopolitan creche figurines (above). They also "cut fresh evergreens to form the base of the creche and I tie the angels with fishing wire and place them over the scene so they look as if they were flying," says Williams. Way to make us feel bad, guys!
The Inversion Award
Yep, this one (right) was sold at Hammacher Schlemmer until it sold out. Which means that people actually bought it!
The Creepiest Ornament Award
Not sure why, but severed heads seemed to be popular in ornament design this year. We saw lots of frightening ones, but the decapitated Barbie doll (right) brought back some skeletons we had hoped would stay in the closet.
The Most Lavish Thanksgiving Tablescape Award
Look above, and take a guess.
The Most Creative Use of a Vegetable Award
This October, a couple of wonky designers turned 16 pumpkins into the likenesses of 16 different starchitects (right). Included, of course, was Mies van der Rohe, Zaha Hadid, and Gehry. Fun with knives!
The Most Reckless Celebration of Halloween Award
Too many to count.

Stories of Seasonal Decorating is a particularly relevant Curbed National feature in which we commemorate the countdown to Christmas by rounding up decor happenings in neighborhoods, small towns, and cities across our fair continent and publishing 'em at various points throughout the month. Got a local tale of your own? Send it along to the tip line.

DENVER, COLO.— The Denver Post takes a look at Boettcher Mansion,the Colorado Governor's residence that Governor-Elect John Hickenlooper may or may not move into. There are some great shots of grand, gracious holiday decor. [Denver Post]
BURLINGTON, ONTARIO— One resident was so flabbergasted by the "minimalist" holiday decor at the local Mapleview Centre mall that she contacted the mall administration. "Mall employees, too, are concerned," reports one article. "Many say they've been inundated with questions from shoppers about the sparse decorations and Mapleview's general lack of seasonal spirit." [TheSpec.com]
BOCA RATON, FLA.— It's Florida's version of the NYC mosque controversy! Except in play here is a menorah, erected outside City hall, and a determined pastor who thinks it should be taken down and replaced with a nativity scene. [WPTV.com]
TERRE HAUTE, IND.— Reindeer were recently reported stolen from a local park. Extra police are being deployed through the holidays. [WTHIV.com]
