I'd vouch for putting your floor plan on here - all ideas from others are so helpful. Even if you don't use them it makes your thoughts go off and explore other ideas.
My washing machine is in another room - I like having the washing out of the kitchen. You can close the door on it when you don't want to do it
Can you block any of the doorways up?
Is it something you can live with for now until you are prepared to do a bigger project maybe?
If you opened it into the dining room would you be introducing more doorways into that room?
Do you entertain lots?
Do you like to cook?
