Yes, a picture would be great. Since this is in the planning stage, the best I can do at the moment is describe it. I'm hoping to create some ray-traced walk-throughs later on.
This now reminds me of a setup I saw where someone had their audio/video system exposed through holes in the wall for speakers and display screen. All the electricals and electronics were in the room behind (it was quite a rats nest in his installation ... that aspect I would not want to replicate). So maybe I could argue that the refrigerator is "in" the utility room, but exposes its access door front into the kitchen.
