What do you think of laundry in the kitchen?

[Jeff Cragar]

I am about to rehab an entire 2,600 SF 4 bed three bath with two master bedrooms, I would like to incorporate a front load washer and dryer into the kitchen cabinets. The kitchen is now a 10x10 size and the laundry room would open up 5’ feet more kitchen space making it 15’ wide. In addition removing that wall would free up space for an island and allow a second kitchen sink where the old laundry wash tub was. 

I really don’t know where else I could put the laundry room that would look like the house came that way. I have seen a few pictures of this setup on Houzz. 

What do you guys think?
