Is there a way to remove the lamp and bulb and cover up the wires inside, so it looks like "just" a ceiling fan? Just remove the light "kit", cap the wires with wire nuts (tape with electrical tape to make sure they are secure), and use one of our smaller ceiling medallions to cover the hole such as <a href="http://www.shadesoflight.com/11-34-fleurette-ceiling-medallion.html" rel="nofollow">ME0207</a>, <a href="http://www.shadesoflight.com/me9601" rel="nofollow">ME9601</a>, or <a href="http://www.shadesoflight.com/me0201" rel="nofollow">ME0201</a>. A "blank electrical cover plate" from any hardware store can be painted to match and used as well but not as attractive!

Just remove the light “kit”, cap the wires with wire nuts (tape with electrical tape to make sure they are secure), and use one of our smaller ceiling medallions to cover the hole such as ME0207, ME9601, or ME0201. A “blank electrical cover plate” from any hardware store can be painted to match and used as well but not as attractive!
