Doing a little (more) dreaming...

Happy Monday everyone -

I've been doing quite a bit of cooking lately now that it's starting to cool off and for some reason I've been hungry!  Last night it was chocolate, Friday it was Potato Soup - tonight it's going to be whatever I grab since I'm setting up and doing a bookfair for a Montessori School. 

Anyway, I'd really like to redo my kitchen - that's not possible though since I rent a tiny little apartment.  I did a little browsing through the CSN website to see if they had any cute little dining sets that I could use and I did see this bar/kitchen island set that might work.  I like that it's a little more versatile (which as you know in an apartment that's mandatory!). 

I like the pull out table, there's plenty of storage according to the 2 reviews online and it has spice racks, a cookbook holder and a towel rack as well as 2 shelves.  Do any of you who live in an apartment use a kitchen island or something similar for eating at?  Do you like it or hate it?
