Thank you KJP. I think that I might do an IKEA run. We are thinking of a green nook, but then the shade? I like the idea of attaching wooden crates to the wall, like a working sculpture. Different crates with lengths, widths and depths. Just wondering if I can execute the thought.

Thanks indigo. Thankfully, the complex's contractor is a family friend and I do have permission to paint and make alterations. I won't be blocking egress because of the location of the apartment door, but I appreciate your suggestions. Definitely like your ideas of accessories.
