I wish mine was that cool.

Mine's just a newer Dixie Narco 180 I got off some guy in North Jersey. It was $700, which is about what I'd have payed for a decent second fridge, but even my GF thought it was too cool to banish to the garage.

Keeps the kids outta the fridge in the summer, too. It actually gets a lot of use, guests like it, no one has to ask to get a drink...I keep a bowl of nickles out (red, to the right of the machine), and have the machine set to take 5 cents.

It's not particularly "Artsy" or vintage, but it sorta looks like a big can of coke.

I dig the Coke machine...but I'd fill it with Diet Dr. Pepper myself.

It usually has Dr. Pepper in the 3rd hole...most of the time, diet. I keep diet Tea (antioxidant), and Ginger Ale (anti-inflammatory) in the last two holes for myself, and keep Coke and diet coke in the first two holes, standard Coke machine style.

If I had one...... it would be full of beer......but again I wouldn't spend $700 dollars for a coke machine. Just not practical to ME. to each their own.

I have two other goofy "interior decorating monster house-style" ideas I'm considering.

One is a discarded Keith Black hemi block (perhaps send it out to be anodized) under glass, for a coffee table. My current coffee table looks like shit.

Another is to take an old Mac SE, and gut it, then put a new Mac Mini, and a small color LCD in it. Set it up to boot Windows 7. Pop it on the kitchen counter.

I like the coffee table idea.
The Mac idea would probably give Steve Jobs an aneurysm.

I'd like to craft a few steampunk style furniture/decorating elements. But everything I've seen that looks good to me would require me to spend a lot of time collecting crap to 'repurpose' and probably to have a more robust set of tools and a workshop area.
(not to mention wood & metalworking skills that I do not currently possess)

The coffee table sounds cool as fuck until 3am when you break four toes on it as you stumble to the fridge to get a glass of water.
