We had great fun when we planned our kitchen from scratch 4 years ago and we wouldn't change a thing.

I dont think you would find a home in oz without a separate laundry. Dirty clothes and food preparation dont mix. There is also the noise from wm and dryer in an open kitchen which is the heart of the home. Even growing up on a self sufficient farm 40 years ago we had a separate laundry building.

Otherwise, it results in lugging crockery back and forth and greater distances from one to the other... which is a pain in the arse. I like the island very much. Additional storage and work space is a good thing.

This worked for me very well when I was raising children. It saved me from picking up their laundry all over their bedroom floors.
