In the corner of a humble one-room cabin, nestled in the picturesque Priest River Valley of Bonner County, Idaho, 1939, a worn wooden counter top stands as a testament to hard work and simplicity. This rustic surface bears witness to countless meals prepared by a diligent farmer, who relied on its sturdy support while creating nourishment for his family. Traveling back in time to 1860, we find ourselves immersed in the captivating world of foreign residences. In Japan's Ijin yashiki ryori no zu (Preparing Meals in a Foreign Residence), an exquisite counter top takes center stage. Its polished surface serves as both canvas and workspace for culinary masterpieces that bridge cultural divides. Fast forward to 1937 America, where Winslow Rich captures the essence of craftsmanship with his Tailors Table. This elegant counter top exudes precision and attention to detail – qualities essential for tailors who meticulously measure fabrics and create garments that fit like second skin. Stepping into the realm of Shaker design circa 1936, Anne Ger presents us with her Shaker Dressmakers Counter. With its clean lines and minimalist aesthetic, this counter top embodies simplicity at its finest – an ideal space for dressmakers to cut patterns and stitch together timeless pieces. Lawrence Foster transports us further into history with his Dairy Counter from 1935/1942. As dairy products were churned out on this very countertop day after day, it became more than just a functional piece; it became part of the heart and soul of farm life - witnessing moments big and small within its smooth embrace. Venturing across continents to Surrey, British Columbia in Canada, we encounter vibrant bouquets adorning pristine countertops. A bouquet of purple parrot tulips gracefully arranged in a white vase adds splashes of color against neutral surroundings while pink tulips delicately placed within glass vases breathe life into any kitchen space.
