I love gumball machines. We have one in our house. It is supposed to be decorative, but that doesn't keep the kids from eating all of the gumballs. And when I had Cub Scouts at my house the gumball machine was a great bribery tool. Plus I just like color. And there isn't anything more colorful than a gumball machine. But a gumball machine doesn't really fit into most people's home decor.
Unless it is this gumball machine from
The Twice Remembered Cottage:
She spray painted it chocolate brown, put a finial on the top, and then filled it with these:
Chocolates!
Faux chocolates, but still pretty tasty looking!
And I have to say this is the cutest gumball machine I have ever seen.
Chocolates! Faux chocolates, but still pretty tasty looking!

How freaking cute!!
How fun!
How cute! I have a gumball machine, but it's one of those giant ugly ones. It lives in the playroom.
I love that!! My boys have a lamp in their bedroom that is made from a real, working gumball machine. Of course, there was no way I was going to leave gumballs in their bedroom. I actally filled it with craft pompoms! These ones are the same size as gumballs, and they come in the same colors. (red, blue, gree, pink, white, orange, and yellow) Unless you get up real close, they look just like gumballs.

What an adorable gumball machine.
Where did you find yours? Forever ago I saw one made into a fish tank and it was the coolest thing EVER. I don't know where to even look for one though!! I love this too, yum-o!!
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Cool!!
That's a really cool idea!
Oh! The Pom Poms are a GREAT idea!!!
Sarah, my aunt gave it to my son for his birthday. I will have to see if I can find out where she got it, but it was a couple of years ago.
I saw a huge one at a garage sale a couple of weekends ago and now I wish I would have picked it up!
That's so pretty! It'd make me really hungry, though, even if I knew the chocolate was fake.
I don't think I could handle the temptation staring me in the face all day - every day. I'd be runnin' down to See's far too often.
I really like that.

Some people are just too clever for their own good and make us mortals look pretty drab :), lol.
