Industrial Modern Style Bun Warmers....As Art?

Industrial Modern Style Bun Warmers -  Yes, you read that right. On a trip to Vegas a couple of months back I managed to find a hoarder / collector....aren't we all on that fine line?... who had some pretty cool stuff...... all. over. his. property. I just love digging in places like that.  It makes me feel so Mike from America Pickers.  Anyway, back to the point.

I always look for the unusual and here, I found it.  I saw stacks of these industrial modern looking metal sheets.  Immediately I pictured them on a wall in a loft space.  Turns out they are old bun warmers from a 50's bakery in Las Vegas.  He also had copper colored pastry warmers, which I bought for my home, and hot dog bun warmers.  It took me a while to get around to posting these in my shop, but immediately after they were up, 2 sold.   Hmmm, I knew I should have purchased more than 5!  I will be visiting this man again on our next trip.

Mid Century and Vintage Inspired Design in Las Vegas



The new City Center in Las Vegas is a minimalist, modern design lovers eye candy dream. City Center is a shopping mecca and collection of 5 new hotels. Outside the architecture is powerful, structured and angular. Inside the shopping center, it's minimalist space age, the Jetsons-modern, bright white and peppered with vintage, retro-modern design aspects. Love it!!

I love to see vintage inspired design in a modern setting. Here are some images I shot -
