In Priscilla Dreams The Answer, Priscilla works at a curio and oddities store, and the director wanted a store counter for her to be stationed at. We decided on a height that would be good for the kids, and then I got to work drafting up a simple plywood counter.
I built a large box out of plywood with a panel in the middle to serve as a storage shelf for props. I then sealed my staple holes with bondo and sanded it down. Finally, I primed it and painted it with a wood rocker to achieve this final result.
