I am planning to build a new home and have designed a kitchen that is very much along the lines of this one, although appliances are located differently. Do you mind sharing the dimensions of this room--wall to wall and dimensions of island? How far is island from back cabinets? It's hard to get a feel for this. Thank you so much!!!

Well, I had to get in on Missoni Madness just because. I really like anything with stripes, so this stuff is right up my alley. I agree the quality isn't great, but hey, it's Target, so I expected that, and the stuff is really inexpensive compared with most household goods. I got two of the melamine trays, which are dandy, and a set of three nesting mixing bowls, which I like but totally didn't need. The one thing that I really wanted and got was the set of 5 espresso cups and saucers and spoons in a tower chrome stand. They are really cute. I also got the chevron blanket, which, yes, the fleece is a little cheesy, but I'll use these for my cats to sleep on, so I don't need much. The blanket is reversible, which is pretty cool. I agree the glassware was great and very heavy and looked very posh for the price. When I was in line checking out, a woman two ahead of me had the glass platter/bowl and dropped it putting it on the belt. Ouch!

The most important is to Be Grateful. 5 million Americans (a conservative figure, I bet) are homeless, so any of us who are so fortunate to have safe shelter should be very, very thankful for what we do have.
