i want to have one in my apartment to keep the bread fresh, so it doesn't have to be in the fridge and be cold all the time. i'd also like to put other cool stuff in them too. one of my favorite yummy restaurants in new york called bread has a bread box like the one in the second photo from the top and i've always admired it.
oh and i also want a house/land phone, even if its not usable, just for looks maybe.
