I have some things from ex's. To me, its a way of honoring someone and something that meant something to us at the time. I have wondered if any of them have a little totem of me somewhere, something tucked away...

The machine pictured above is one fine machine. Vintage sewing machines make superior buttonholes and have more power.

This house has a soul. Very intriguing.

Wow. On everything. I like the touches of the sacred.
I want to say nicely edited, even though I don't know why I am saying that! What goes in there should be there? (shrugs)
A feeling of mystery.

Nice floors. Feels a bit discordant or something, the fung shei is off? The energy just stops, instead of moving around..

They may as well camp in a storage shed.

I have been thinking of doing this to some vintage sewing machines that have the paint worn off..but, I would like to have decals on them still..I suppose powder coat, then put the decals on and then a clear coat?

Aah or Eek!? Drawing on the Furniture

I do know someone who paints her sewing machines with old fingernail polish. She also did a kitchen appliance with one. She even made a video how to of it. I personally don't like it, but maybe on something else..just not a sewing machine. here is the link http://www.creativefeet.com/products/education/how-to-paint-sewing-machine-instructional-dvd
I do paint my keys with the polish to help me keep them organized. And the top of a lamp finial..didn't like the color. Makes me feel like I am not wasting the polish as much.
Dog tags, things like that...

The thing that takes up too much room in my bathroom is hair items: curlers, hot rollers, curling irons, straightening iron, dryer, conditioners, polishing cream, protectant, on and on..like my hair needs its very own lighted closet. (Dry frizzy hair, always trying something for it!)

I should just cut my hair off. I would also have more time and space if I did.

too bad all these eye shadows and fingernail polishes could not be used as a painting medium...

I don't get it. What is unexpected..I do like the glass table over the desk, but would remove the old desk and paint it or something, and put it somewhere else.

I have always had a black thumb too. I always wanted to have a few orchids, but never bought one because everyone said they are the most difficult.
Ironically, someone gave me one a few years ago, and it is still here.
I wish I could get the basil going. It keeps going limp and black on me. I am thinking ditch the plastic containers, I don't think plants like them.

Eh. Yeah, the weird comments are a little bit disturbing..But, some people are just like that,
(Shrug). I dunno, to me, telling people that their closets are not spiritual is kinda weird, the exact opposite of spiritual, its rude and nasty, and yes, shallow.

I like people who are creative, and live life to the fullest. I like to see people celebrate who they are, and by extension, their homes, their lives.. that was a fun glimpse of a very interesting person.

Cheers to Sai and everyone who has shared their ideas--it has been a very fun year, and I look forward to more of the same!
