    Hmm... my husband built the kids a Tardis kitchen that I designed :)
    The inside of it needs to be redone b/c the kids have drawn all over it, but I think it's pretty darn cool and I know no one else owns anything like it since it all came from my brain and his craftsmanship :D
    I had originally just wanted a little hidey spot shaped like the Tardis. Just empty on the inside the kids could hide in. But then had a brilliant idea of making it a kitchen inside. Took a while to figure out a design that could be closed and opened.

    Xmas a couple of years ago.. using it for the kids' stockings :)

    Here it is opened up. My hubs did such an amazing job. Especially considering that this was his first attempt at doing anything like this.
    That's a little phone on the door. That part of the door also swings open so you can get to the phone if it's all closed. :)
    We had our old kitchen sink parts to use for the sink and the fake knobs for the oven hadn't been added yet.
    We also used magnetic paint on the "fridge" part so the kids could put up magnets. The wood wasn't sanded down though so lots of grooves and such so magnets never stuck to it very well lol. Something that we can eventually fix.

    First, That's awesome!! Second, It's smaller on the outside. :)

    I have a collection of over 80 nutcrackers... And a pretty awesome nativity complete with all the kings tents and the market

    Hard to find a nativity set like that for sure.

    A dried armadillo bowl. I serve people their nuts in it when they piss me off.

    I do not, and probably never will, own a coffee maker.
    I do however own 4 pairs of super hero themed yoga pants, 2 pairs of Star Wars themed yoga pants, and a pair of super Mario themed yoga pants, in addition to all my "normal" yoga pants.

    I own zero comic book/super hero related stuff. I don't think that makes me different from the masses, but it feels like it makes me different from the chit-chatters.

    ETA --
    Actually, I think I might have the Edward Norton version of Hulk on Bluray.

    Matching socks

    No seriously my sister and I swap the second sock of a pair. Embarrassingly we’ve been caught wearing matching, mismatched sets of socks

    I have an electric citrus juicer, because fresh squeezed OJ is the best.

    I stopped using mine mostly. The meme pages are worth the occasional login.

    I have a handcrafted Tibetan nightstand. It's been hand-painted with designs by the maker as well. There are no nails or screws holding it together, just the workmanship to fit the pieces together. I bought it when I lived overseas.

    Haha
    I have a mini digger, I've never had an MP3

    I think this one is very unusual, it's a mindset thing.

    I have more money than I need
    I don't have much in life.

    I used to not own a bed. Slept on the floor in the mummy position. I was deep in the minimalist lifestyle.

    I ended up making a concession, cause even I was weirding myself out, and bought a tatami mat (twin size) and Japanese futon. Stuck it in the corner. Now if people come over they say, "Oh, that's kinda cool" instead of "What the *kitten* dude???"

    I need to hear more about this minimalist lifestyle

    I'm thinking maybe the chair is making it too cluttered.

    I have a marlin lever action from 1904 and it is a limited edition. This was built the year after the wright brothers took flight and 8 years before the titanic. Always makes me wonder do I have any modern item that will still be working 100 years form now, probably not.

    I also published 2 children's books I think that is kind of unique as I never set out to be an author.

    I don't own a microwave, blender, coffee maker or toaster (I do have a toaster oven tho, but want get rid of it because I use the oven to make toast because I can't be bothered to pull the toaster oven out)

    Kettle broke, haven't replaced it because pots, stove and I don't miss it.

    I gave away my couch, and dining table and chairs (maybe this should go in the red flag thread)

    Was considering just buying a floor pillow, but did replace the couch...for now

    Debating on the dining table and chairs, it would be "just for decoration" or company...I stand or sit on the couch to eat.

    I do NOT own a windmill. Maybe that makes me weird, but I just don't like them.
