Hello fellow fan owners and seekers,
You may remember reading about our grille names here. Each grille has a family story behind it…because we happen to think they’re pretty special people. So special in fact, that after 13 wonderful years in Portland, we have made the decision to relocate to the Seattle area to be closer to them.
In light of our move we must decide how our Laurelhurst Fans fit into our next chapter. As with many entrepreneurs and small businesses, we have found that when you devote all your energy into your endeavor the business does grow and success does come…but the price you pay is steep in ways that far surpass finances. We’d like to spend time with our two little guys while they still want to spend time with us (cue Cats in the Cradle).
With that said, we are taking a hiatus from the fans before they suck the life out of us - much like they are known to do with flies, as Chris shared with us here.
In the meantime, all calls can be directed to Brenda at Portland Vintage Plumbing. We will also be stocking Brenda with some fans and grilles that we have in inventory; you’ll definitely want to check them out! Brenda has been in the period fixture business for 12 years and will be able to answer all of your questions (if she has it her way, we’ll be selling fans again sooner rather than later).
Until then, we wish you the best in your period appropriate ventilation adventures.
Warmly,
John and Nicole
