Walk-In Closet Slash Alcove Hybrid Wall

ryanreactsThis space is currently a bit chaotic, but my goal is to clear it out and move my bed in there. Which should be perfect, since it will mean I can lie in bed and watch teevee without having to tilt my head to the right to see the screen properly.
In the corner between the head of my bed (heh) and the kitchen wall, I will keep this storage bench, which I used to have several years ago and fucking loved and still miss. Currently available in four colors. I like them all, but Soft Gray Fabric is out because $160??!! I think I want Soft Blue Fabric. Anyway, this bench will be another perfect vantage point for watching teevee (and as a bonus, it comes with two ottomans!) and storing extra blankets and pillows. I can also leave books here when I'm sleeping. And my glasses on top of the books.
My bed needs more pillows. I almost ordered another two-pack of the very comfortable memory foam pair I have now, but Amazon said it would take a week to deliver and I said let's think about it. I would also greatly benefit from a body pillow. And of course I want all five Little Mermaid Pillow Buddies. In this order: Ursula, Indira, Caspia, Ariel, Mala. Maybe Flounder. Maybe.
At some point, my bed could also use a Snuggie. I don't remember when I lost mine, but it was so so SO comfortable, and living without one is a damn shame.
Oh yes, my bed could also use these sheets. They look like they would make me happy to wake up to, you know?
Above where my bed will go, the alcove-closet has built-in wall-to-wall white wire shelves. I'm not sure if that's the right term, but the point is, even though you can easily store stuff on them without doing this, like I have been ever since I moved in, what I really want to do is get some cardboard or something flat & sturdy to cover the gaps between the . . . rods? . . . and make the shelves more convenient for, what else, display. Like I have a tiny mountain of Cutetitos that deserve a stable home that won't dig into their tummies when they lie on it. Some shelf space will also be needed for clothing, of course. Probably some witchy stuff. Toys I'm not going to open right away? Lots of space, lots of potential to help store everything I need or want in this tiny tiny room.
The corner between the foot of my bed and the display wall is an excellent, logical place for this basic but sturdy-enough five-tier corner shelf for extra dupersuper precious toys like Wonder Woman, Storm, Harley & Ivy, Barbie, Power Rangers, Sailor Moon, Captain Marvel, Supergirl, Jubilee, MH G1 Great Scarrier Reef (not quite everyone: I can easily live without Clawdeen & Laura. But, everyone else!), My Little Pony, ILY Disney, that sort of what.
Another great incentive to move my bed into the alcove: It has curtains! So I can get all snug as a rug bug in bed, then pull them closed and Just Fucking Sleep. Lavender oil, rain sounds, meditation, whatever it takes, I know that closing myself into a physical space that is just for sleeping will be very healthy. Also, I've always wanted a canopy bed and this is sort of like that.
I should have just enough space in the alcove for two small basic three-drawer dressers that I already have at each end of the bed. One of them already has a very bright lamp that I love, so the other one should get its own whenever I buy it.
