Retro Bread Bins: Eye Candy for Your Countertop

Retro bread bins dress up a kitchen counter with nostalgia.

I've never been a hardcore fan of retro furnishings, but if there's one thing I have a weakness for, it's bright, bold bread bins in the kitchen. Although we never have bread in our house long enough for it to go bad, I can't help but fall for the sweet shape and candy-colored of these goodies below (all under $100!).

Wesco Grandy Red Bread Bin, $99, RedCandy
A chunky and substantial design by Wesco, the Grandy Red Bread Bin would make a lovely addition to any overly-modern kitchen. Originally designed in the 1940's, the Wesco Grandy bread bin is suitable not just for loaves, but also for a delicious cache of cakes, buns, crackers and biscuits. Yum indeed!

Polder Retro Bread Bin, $40, Target
A blast from the past, this multi-purpose design will keep your bread (and your countertop!) looking fresher than fresh. And with a powder white finish, I'd say this piece is too gorgeous to use for bread alone. Why not re-purpose it as kitchen storage or an office supply organizer?

Typhoon Retro Revolution Bread Bin, $50, Amazon
A funky shape will make any kitchen shine, and the black limo color is sure to stand out amongst the crowd of boring bread bins.

Gnam Bread Bin, $65, Alessi
An oval bread box is sure to bring a boring kitchen bright to life, and the white color palette makes this design virtually universal!

Which bread bin would you choose? I've got my eye on all of them!
