Ask Design Mom Week — Salt & Pepper Shakers
Question:
I am in the market for salt and pepper shakers. I'm looking for something small and preferably not in the shape of a little person or animal (wink). I figured you would have a great recommendation for something stylish and chic. If they make "chic" for the salt and pepper crowd. Thanks. — Cari
Answer:
Ooooh. Salt & Pepper shakers. I haven't shopped for these in at least a decade. Fun to think about new ones! If you're looking for small and not-kitchy, my first instinct is to stop in at a place like DWR or the Conran Shop.
I like a classic diner shape, like the one pictured. But I just stopped by DWR and found these little silver ones. Chic, no?
What about you Dear Readers? Seen any great salt & pepper sets lately? Please leave a link in the comments.

This is my all time favorite. Simple and small. But, I do keep a pepper grinder and sea salt on my stove for a different flavor when I'm cooking!

Not exactly traditional, but not a person nor an animal!
The dollar store, no kidding! Found the old-fashioned, glass "diner" version there for a dollar each.
I KNEW you were the woman to ask. I am going with these. http://www.dwr.com/product/weighted-salt-pepper-shakers.do?keyword=salt&sortby=ourPicks
THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking the time to answer my question. -Cari
I saw some animal shaped salt and pepper shakers by Jonathon Adler at bloomingdales. Penguins. Whales. And other animals I can't remember. Amazing stuff.
I'm in love with the stainless steel salt and pepper mills that I got for my wedding. They are lovely to look at and super fun to use: http://www.crateandbarrel.com/family.aspx?c=855&f=13237&q=salt+and+pepper+mills+stainless+steel&fromLocation=Search&DIMID=400001&SearchPage=1

I think I found them at Pottery Barn or Pier One, but we got a set of 12 clear glass shakers with silver tops - we filled most of them with salt and only a couple with pepper because we are salt fiends. They're small, simple, subtle, but classic:)
I just put up a cute pair of vintage French s+p shakers in my etsy shop last night...
how about these mother of pearl beauties from Kosmos Designs and Ideas? I've given them to about a dozen people and the are always a hit!
