Table Accessories & Décor

The pieces that stay out between meals: an olive wood salt cellar with a lid that swivels aside, a wine rack that stands on the counter, condiment dishes set into a wooden base, a rotating tray that puts the middle of the table within everyone's reach, and an olive wood mortar and pestle good-looking enough to leave by the stove.

Chosen to read as part of the room rather than as kitchen equipment — the things you leave on the counter because you want to look at them, not because there is nowhere else to put them.
