Is there anything more boujee than the thought of a GOLD gumball machine in your home decor?? I mean, seriously???
You may remember when I painted my RED gumball machine white…You can see that transformation RIGHT HERE. My former neighbor told me “gumball machines are supposed to be red.” I wonder what he would think of THIS!? hahaha. I have never been one to follow “rules”, when it comes to decorating!
This is an easy transformation! I simply took it apart and spraypainted the part that was white! I also cleaned the glass because it was WAYYY overdue!
All the instructions for what I did the first time can be found IN THIS BLOG POST.
This is the spray paint I used. It is my FAVORITE GOLD because it has that more “brushed” look!
And HERE is my finished product!!!
I haven’t figured out what to put in it yet…any suggestions?? I know the possibilities are ENDLESS!
I hope this inspires you to step out of the box! And don’t listen to those naysayers!
PIN FOR LATER!

Love it!!
Cool Brooke! Love it! Neat idea.
super cute and i think gumballs look nice and colorful!
If it still works as a gumball machine, try
M&M’s!
That gumball machine looks awesome
Looks great as gold! That’s why you decorate with what you love.
Put wooden beads in the gumball machine!
I love your gum ball machine! I could kick myself for not keeping some of my Dad’s. He was an Engineer but on the weekends he serviced his gumball machines he put in bars: filled with peanuts or chlorophyll candies. He felt he could “witness” to anyone in the bars who wanted to talk !! He/my mom and 4 other couples started a Baptist Mission church Hopevale Memorial in Saginaw, Michigan.
It’s awesome!! I would love to find one. You should put painted sea shells in it 🙂 thanks for sharing ~ beautiful Brooke 💗☀️
I can see mini lights in this.
I think it would look fabulous with all white gumballs in it! Great job!!

Hi there. I love your gold Gumball machine! I have a gumball machine that I fill with goodies for my Grandchildren. They love putting the money in and getting a treat. It is still red, but you have inspired me to perhaps paint it.
Thanks for sharing.
Love both I’m a bit more partial to white but they both look beautiful
I would fill it with gold beads & add some led mini lights as well! Love this creative transformation!
That’s a great idea too! ❤️
I wudda used “San Fransisco 49ers glossy red” and a “glossy black” for trim and detail colors. Use old circus style/county fair ordinate as trim color idea. Plain solid gold is blah. Otherwise nice job.
That would be good too!
It looks great! I would hesitate to put anything edible into something that has been spray painted, even if it’s just the outside that was sprayed. I like the suggested twinkle lights and/or seashells. Small Christmas balls would look cool during the season, too.
Thank you! 💕
I have a gumball machine exactly like yours! I have a huge collection of Cracker Jack toys that I have collected for like forever? I put them in my gumball and fixed the knob so my grandkids can’t turn the knob and get them out! It’s well over half full! It is the perfect place to display my collection!
Great idea!
