This Ain’t Your Grandma’s Bread Box!

30 July 2012 8 Comments

Actually, there’s a distinct possibility that it may in fact be, your Grandma’s breadbox.  Or perhaps she just had one kind of like it.  Either way this $2.00 yard sale find has me giddy!  The lady I bought it from asked me if I planned to paint it.  When I told her I like it the way it is, she looked at me like I had two heads.  You tell me. Do you think this beauty needs to be painted?  Or are you, like me, loving that vintage vibe?Bread Box 1Bread Box 2Bread Box 3Bread Box 6Bread Box 7Bread Box 8And the best part?  Talk about a storage solution with style!   I hate the way bread looks sitting out on the counter and this box holds two full loaves! diana

    I love it the way it is! I might test it for lead paint, to be safe – but it’s so charming. :)

    Love it, and wouldn’t paint! (unless, like Melanie said, it could have lead in it?) But it’s perfect and looks like it fits right in on your counter. Such a great find!

    You guys are absolutely right! I will make sure to test for lead paint. It never even crossed my mind. My readers are so smart!

    I love it! And your kitchen styling looks awesome!

    Oh no, I wouldn’t paint it! Maybe (maybe) the lid red, but the “Bread” font is fantastic!

    I love it the way it is! And I’m with Kelly on the font :)
