Tiffany you're so resourceful so I think this will be fun for you. This spot screams for color and reflection. Coleus? Begonias? Can you "shop" you house for anything that strikes you as interesting to look at? Thrift store[or curb shop] cast offs-a mirror hung up on the studs would be great. A bird bath would be another way to add height and dimension. A simple clay or plastic plant saucer would work and the milk crate can be it's base.
