I'm happy with it. Now if I could only solve the washer-dryer dilemma.
Washer in the kitchen, dryer on the back porch. I did recently get a
nifty wheeled basket like those in laundromats, only smaller.

That would come in handy for all sorts of tasks!
Is there no way you could get plumbing on the porch for the
washer? You'd probably have to add insulation so the pipes
wouldn't freeze, but an added bonus would be freeing up
space in your kitchen. Just sayin'....

We would have to run water supply pipes and a drain to the back porch,
which is not heated or insulated. Remember, too, that the house is
brick, solid brick. On a poured cement basement. Alternatively, we
could stack a washer and dryer in the same footprint in the kitchen. It
would be easy to add the wiring for a dryer, but venting it is another
matter. It's an inside wall. In a perfect world, I would consider
having a utility room built onto the house with space for the washer and
dryer, perhaps a laundry tub, counter and storage. But I do like my
back porch, which was added to the house early on, I'm sure. It has
windows on three sides and looks out on my patios on the north side of
the house.
My DH's notion has always been to put the laundry in the basement. I
have nipped that notion in the bud.

In our first house, the washer and dryer were in the
attached garage, next to the kitchen but at the opposite end
of the house from the bedrooms. :-}
When we were looking for our second home (this one), I fell
hard for the 1500 sq. ft. mostly unfinished daylight
basement, because it had a 12' X 15' finished laundry room
(W&D hookups and deep sink), and I knew it would be perfect
for my sewing room. All the plumbing was roughed in for a
full bathroom right next door, which DSIL and I finished in
'96. I don't mind the laundry downstairs, I count it as
exercise.
We never did get all the rest of that lovely space finished,
mostly it's a big semi-organized storage area. I am working
bit-by-bit in culling out the unused stuff.
I may actually get the great family-TV-pool table room,
kitchenette, and fourth bedroom finished, someday.....
