the perfect desktop fanby laurie |
Just in the nick of time! This summer hasn’t been that seriously hot, at least not for days on end, but I really dislike Toronto’s hot, humid summers. So I’ve been intending to buy a little desktop fan for, oh, the past 10 summers, and when I dropped into a Restoration Hardware store and saw a brushed nickel beauty, it felt like karma.
My apartment is already well equipped with two much-appreciated ceiling fans (I refuse to get air conditioning), but when I spied the Allaire fan that day in the store, I knew it was the one I had to have. Am I thrilled with it? You bet! The heat be damned!
The Allaire also comes in a black finish and Restoration Hardware’s very pretty trademark Silver Sage.

Love the look of these retro fans! They’re a great and stylish way to move stale air, too and provide instant relief when you really need them!
Thanks, Suzanne. I love them, too, and so do many others! Laurie
I love these fans too! They were so popular (and on sale!) that they sold out fast. I’ve been told that Restoration Hardware stores can special order them for you.
Hi Marie,
I was told by Restoration Hardware that the fans would be available through 2008, so I’m glad you were told you can special order them! They are beauties. Since they are so popular, let’s keep our fingers crossed that they’ll be stocking them in store next year!
