kitchen islands

I haven't had time this week (where has the week gone?) to photograph my son's desk, let alone his room. Instead I've been searching for images of kitchens with islands, since I don't have one (an island that is). If we ever move house, I would love to design a new kitchen with an island which doubles up as a storage and work area. Big eat-in kitchens are fine, but at the moment I have to walk a long way to the other end of the room (it is 6 metres long) to get a baking dish. Or maybe I should just rearrange my cupboards and keep the baking dishes at the cooking end of the room (even though there's no space there either)!
