Mrs. Carrera is in total control of the decorations, and household fixtures to achieve the look she requires. That means that several years ago we "needed" to replace all 6 of the ceiling fans that were 100% functional and dead quiet with designer ceiling fans. And I saw we changed them in a general term, it really meant me. All of the ceiling fans have light kits. To get the look, required putting in little bitty 40 watt bulbs. The master bedroom is DARK and my office was only a little better. Once the CFL bulbs came out I got some for my office. That helped, but it was still dark. I finally had enough and invested in some bright LED bulbs. Wow what a difference. I can see!

The bedroom has little decorative "candle bulbs" and are only for decoration. Piss poor if you want to see. We have a lamp that helps, but it is still dark in there. I am smart enough to keep my mouth shut. One of the pitiful bulbs burned out. I have to unsnap the chain unscrew one decorative bolt and remove it. Them a large thumbscrew to remove a frosted glass dome. Then I can get to the bulb. If it was up to me I would put in a simple white BRIGHT light kit. It ain't up to me. The living room has 7 pot lights and the ceiling fan lights so we don't need the ceiling lights often. The kitchen has under counter lights, over counter lights, and a dozen pot lights so the ceiling fan does not get used often.

We have two ceiling fans on the back porch, and I have two in my garage. The ones in the garage are the recycled ones from the house.

The garage and the bathroom in the garage are my domain. She gets to park her car in there, and a few items on a shelf. The rest is MINE! With my decorations. (Car posters)
