The back counter

After deciding to use the loft, instead of having the back wall be floor to ceiling cabinets (like a pantry unit) I decided instead to put in the extra counter (and in this picture temporarily the computer was set up on it, now only the printer lives on top of it, the other pieces have different homes)

I also placed the centre cabinet higher to provide a much easier accessed area than having that space on the top if the cabinets were in the same line. 

While I could have used full sized wall cabinets on the lower tier, I elected to have greater usable counter space by using bridge cabinets instead, which at this time works out very well since where the monitor and the printer are on this picture I now have a 4 place setting dishwasher (which is about the size of a full sized microwave oven).  That is something I really do appreciate having, and it uses less water than I would with a sink half full of water and rinsing the dishes, even on the heavy cycle.  (I do have running water in my sink, but only because I have a water tank, pump and small water heater in the cabinet below it.  The tank does have to be filled with water brought in from elsewhere)
