While I am gathering supplies for my next repurposing project and scoping out photo shoot locations (does anyone know of a retro coin-laundry place around Detroit?), I have a mini-photo series to share with you, not so aptly entitled “a study of vintage proportions.”
What a difference a bulb makes!
Now I only have to figure out how to electrify the enormous vintage lightbulb.

oh my! if you can’t find a vintage laundry in detroit..you could always drop by wilmington! we have one that’s been turned into a music venue {the soap box}! good luck on your hunt!

my thought exactly! (is that bulb for real)?
as for those little task lights, I just love them. I became more aware of them about 6 months ago and now seek them out. they all have their own little personalities. much has to do with proportion; base height, shade shape, profile & color differences…

Even though that is a huge lightbulb I was distracted by the wooden type case it is resting on.
Love those.
