From 1935 to 1944, the Farm Security Administration hired photographers to document the effects of the Depression on rural households and communities. This image, from 1939, suggests a turning point had been reached; while the counters [and perhaps cupboards] were bare, the pride of place is evident in the spotless room. Note the single tap at the sink—cold water only.
