Imagine you're suddenly transported back in time by 100 years, to your great-great-grandmother's house. Most of the rooms are quite familiar: the styles are less modern, sure, but the basic setup is the same. The kitchen, however, is different. All the major players are in place — the sink, the stove, some rudimentary form of refrigeration — but they haven't quite evolved into their modern forms. And the rest of the kitchen, lacking the standardized cabinets and countertops we're used to seeing, is strange as well. This post is the first in a series of five where we'll examine the evolution of the kitchen, stylistically and technologically, over the past 100 years. Come with me, if you will, on a little journey through the history of design.
