Salt and Pepper Shakers
Dear Dwell:
I've been looking for modern salt-and-pepper shakers, but all I've found are tchotchkes and diner-style pillars. What do you recommend?
—Cheryl LeGasse, San Francisco, Caliornia
If your table is falling flat, a salt-and-pepper set can enliven the landscape Black and white are standard issue, but unexpected shapes or a hint of color can spice up any setting.
