See What Happens When Your Mother Comes To Visit

[launderess]

Always chose doorman buildings, that way no surprise visits!

Looks like a 70's GE Coin Op washer. I'd like to have that. As far as visits like that, it could be worse. He could've been 'entertaining'... LOL!

Note the Lightolier fixture over the table; a real princess's chamber (princess because his mother is still alive).

Didn't notice the light until you mentioned it! We have one in the DR downstairs and a smaller one outside the bathroom! They're going for decent bux on eBay. Thank you, Transfer Station!

I SO remember that commercial!

Chuck, Do they still make the special light bulbs with the little protuberances that make them look like stars? I remember that about the one over a neighbor's dining table. She was such a neat, fun and kind woman. Could play boogie woogie on the piano like nobody's business (Beat me Daddy, Eight to the Bar). When kids came over in the afternoon, she pulled a box of Krispy Kremes out of the freezer, turned on the GE oven and in a few minutes was serving hot delicious donuts to the gathering. She drove a Lincoln Mark IV. Lost too soon to breast cancer. Can't wait to see her again. Before they moved, she replaced her KM waterfall with a big honkin' LK combo and, dear heavens, was that thing loud!

Hey Tom,

They do make new replacements and we've seen them available on eBay. There's a link to one of the auctions below.

Rich was just in a house the other day that had these fixtures as OEM. Never know what you'll find!
