I decided to contact the Craig's List seller of the original desk myself, and 3 days later we made a deal!!
In addition, I also came across another tall bookcase while searching online. I wasn't really looking for one, but when I saw it I thought it would make the office area more complete. Now the niche is entirely "one" large bookcase. I also made a deal with her the next day- I was on a roll!
So, yes, three tall bookcases in our apartment give optimal storage in our small space! In a smaller apartment, it is important to use vertical storage to maximize the floor space you do have. My trick to make a white and a wood bookcase look cohesive, to appear as one large bookcase, is to use a decorative paper to line the backs of both units. I will choose a color(s) to accent the drapery pattern.
Here is my Interior Idea for the office bookcases:
Very Cute! Great thinking!
