This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walmart although I actually purchased the Bella® Linea Toaster featured in this post with my own money. It was not provided to me for this post but I liked the features so much that I bought one. All opinions are 100% mine.
I have a thing about kitchen counters. I like my counters bare; yes nothing on them, all wiped clean and stark. It’s a habit that I picked up unknowingly while living in a house that was on the market for 3 months. After B moved to VA for his job the kids and I stayed back in NJ and moved only when we sold our NJ home. Out of state relo emergency, two small kids, and a housing bubble meant that the house had to be spanking clean and presentable to sell. Everyday before I left for work I would take everything off the counters, empty the sink, and wipe it down. After repeating this for 3 months I was a convert. Fast forward to 2014 – On any given day you will not find a single appliance on my counter. Luckily in our current home we have loads and loads of cabinets and a walk in pantry. All that storage space gives me ample opportunity to indulge in my bare counter obsession. And then I set eyes on this…………………
I mean, who can say no to this retro beauty?
The toaster, part of the BELLA Linea Collection which includes 5 stylish appliances is available exclusively at Walmart.
With the bold color, horizontal lines, and funky styling the Bella Linea toaster looks straight out of the 70’s. Hello retro! I also love that it is a huge upgrade from our basic toaster in terms of functionality. I especially like that it has;
- Extra wide slots
- Defrost feature
- Bagel feature
- Automatic and Manual cancel
- Illuminated bagel, defrost, reheat, and cancel buttons
- And it comes in RED!!!! Actually it comes in an array of colors to match any kitchen decor; green, grey, orange, pink, purple, red, blue, and white!
Did I mention, how much I love the styling?
As you can tell this baby is not gonna be stored away in the pantry!
Are you a bare counter fanatic too? What’s your take on colored appliances, Yay or Nay?

At home both my son and I are huge red fans. So whenever I pick up something red, I know I’ll have him rooting for me. 😉

Aren’t they Serena? My old one was so basic and boring white looked like a shabby piece of plastic! These are the way to go!
