We had the exact same problem... we ended up with the Streeter from Crate and Barrel. Although it's not ideally what we wanted design-wise, it's modern enough and I was just thrilled to find something without the traditional rolled arms. It's also very well-constructed and comfortable. We lucked out and scored a floor model for 65% off so we were pretty happy. Retail price is $769 (with the full swivel/glider function) Check it out here:

Flickr also has this great application called "piknik" that can do all sorts of things. Vintage look, rounded corners, decorative or cropped borders, fix red-eye, etc. If you click "edit this photo" on an image you've uploaded into Flickr it will take you to piknik. Some of the features require a paid upgrade, but I always just use the ones that are free. It works great! And it's faster than manipulating images separately in Photoshop.

I too was very frustrated when I rushed to my Target this morning only to find one endcap display with a few items of storage stuff, which was almost completely gone. I got 2 cd bins, and some closet storage items: shoe bag & laundry bag. But did not see any kitchen stuff, trays, bowls or anything. Same experience with the employees who seemed to know nothing about Orla Kiely products or if/when they would get more in or be posted online. The other thing was the employee helping me said that display had been up for about 4-5 days. I guess I will have to stalk my local Target and hope more items are stocked this week!
