A customer of ours has a blog about her Bungalow Remodel, here in Portland, Oregon.  It is an incredible resource for anyone who is thinking about, dreaming about, or just plain interested in the respectful remodel of a classic Bungalow.  Here is her Blog

And here is what she kindly says about us in one of her entries:  
“Johnny of the Laurelhurst Fan Company dropped by the exhaust cover. It is a thing of beauty! I am so glad I splurged on it. Because of existing constraints, the exhaust fan for the bath was placed on an interior wall. The fan was then vented through an exterior wall and under the back deck to obscure the exterior vent cover from view. But on the inside, I could not bear the idea of staring at a 14″ white plastic square vent cover every time I entered the bathroom, so I searched for something more vintage-looking and discovered the Laurelhurst Fan Company located right here in Portland, Oregon. Who thought something so mundane could be so gorgeous? I thoroughly enjoyed working with Johnny and Nicole and can’t wait to have the grille put up.”

Nickel Amore - Tangerine Blade

The fan looks, and works great. The blade color, combined with the wall color, match well with our accent floor tile.

Thanks again for all of your help. I’ve been very impressed by how friendly everyone in your entire company/family has been.

You rarely see such customer service, and it’s so different from the typical treatment we’ve received, it’s a bit of a shock.

“Our lovely fan is just that, lovely and fabulous!
Thanks for all of the assistance and the rush.”

-Alissa, Portland, OR

We received this lovely note from some customers  in Seattle who chose the colors of their fan based upon their vintage bathroom tiles (Vintage Pink, Vintage Green, & Polished Nickel).
It was a stunning piece and we can’t wait to post the photos when we receive them.

Dear Nicole and John – We had our fan installed yesterday and can’t
believe how enthusiastic one can be about a bathroom appliance.  It is
absolutely beautiful – we and Mario and Sal (the installer) were all
grinning and oh-my-godding at what a piece of art it is.  It looks so
incredibly perfect with the vintage tiles in the bathroom.  And, on
top of everything, it works like a dream.  It’s really strong and
quiet.  It was amazing to not see steam, moisture and drips post-
shower for the first time!  We will be painting soon and then will
get a photo.  This is such an amazing option for people who love the old in
their old homes.  Please count on us for testimonials.
Thanks so much,
Doria and Ron Reagan, Seattle, WA

“The other day I heard this “plink” from over my fan and realized it sucked an annoying fly OUT of the bathroom. Awesome!
- Chris”

Johnny, the perpetual-fly-swatting-machine, is thrilled to hear this!

So glad your Laurelhurst Fan could help, Chris!:)

Pink Parkview

Pink bathrooms, pink kitchens…they  definitely have their place!  We have been pleasantly surprised by the attention this color is getting and wanted to give “her” a special post.

Custom Almond Parkview

As you can tell by recent photos, “The Parkview” is a real favorite!
The owner’s of this second fan are in the midst of a kitchen restoration and wanted the outside border to match their trimwork.  They sent us a color chip and we matched it to an Almond custom powder coating color.
This photo shows a new blade that will be coming out around the same time as the ceiling fans, in the fall.  The center circle and the blade are a brushed aluminum.  It’s really a beauty – clean and classic.  We will post photos of their kitchen remodel when they are done!

Parkview Grille

Parkview Grille in Chrome

Some clients of ours kindly sent some photos of their all chromed Parkview Grille that they installed over an existing fan in their kitchen (there is another photo in the post below).

Their fan was sufficient enough – but their grille was not.  They found us and we were able to make a custom faceplate that fits right behind the grille they wanted, with the exact dimensions of their current fan opening.

If you have an existing fan or air duct that you would like to cover with a Laurelhurst Grille, custom faceplates allow you to hide  unsightly things like wiring or unfinished drywall.

This is another example of how YOU have helped us find answers for other peoples’ ventilation dilemmas!  We didn’t start out selling custom faceplates – but after talking to so many of you about your needs – we’re delighted that this solves many of them!  We will be posting more about custom faceplates very soon.

Parkview

We have received an overwhelming amount of requests for a ceiling mounted exhaust fan, in addition to the through-wall fans we currently offer.
Connie, a fellow reader, made a comment that sounds very familiar: “I would love to see you have a bathroom fan for the ceiling. They are plenty ugly out there !! Thanks, Connie.”

…And so, we are thrilled to make this post and let you know that our ceiling mounted exhaust fans are set to be ready for you this fall!

If you are indeed looking to purchase a Laurelhurst Ceiling Model Exhaust Fan…and we do not have your information already…please visit our Website Home Page where you will find the “Reservation List” information, under “Fan News” in the left column.

If you have any questions – please always feel free to send us an e-mail or give us a phone call at 971-570-3131.

We look forward to creating the beautiful fans that will grace your ceilings.
Cheers,
Johnny and Nicole
