Can I paint a fan?

I never got to finish that room; around the same time, a leak was discovered from the toilet cistern which destroyed the decor in our staircase and also bled through to next door and knackered their decor also. This led to our landlords fitting a new loo, which was left looking lke this (and this was complete as far as they were concerned which should give you an indicator as to what they were like):



I then re-did the bathroom, building a large shelving unit at the back of the bath, and stabilising the new toilet cistern by putting a board of treated and sealed marine ply behind it, screwed to the wall, and then screwing the cistern to that (it had been left floating in free space with only the mains water pipe as an anchor); at the same time, I fitted a complete new kitchen and then redecorated the staircase top to toe. The bedroom also got decorated top to toe.



My intention was to finish the living room after all the other rooms, simply because it was in the best nick of the lot; the day after I laid the new flooring in the kitchen and bathroom, our landlords shop caught fire and was all but gutted - our flat suffered smoke damage, but given that I had just lashed out thousands doing the flat up, and the fact that the landlords were less than useless generally, to then find out that they were uninsured for the damage was almost the final straw. The fact that they scarpered the day after the fire and were nowhere to be seen for the next three weeks was definitely the final straw, and we moved out six weeks after the fire, with-holding the final month's rent in lieu of our deposit.
