eeks: "Add the Dr. Bronner's and fill the remainder of the gallon jar with water." The first amount of water is just to mix.

I am also not sure about the salt in this mix. It might be to soften the water, but if you don't have problems with hard water, I don't see the need.

Since it looks like it would be such I nice area to read, I would probably put lamp in the corner. If you used an overhanging floor lamp, you could try to look for one with a built in shelf.
If that doesn't work for you, my suggestion would be to have a stand that is not necessarily visible to hold the phone and accessories and then place a reading lamp on top.

For the outlet. I would paint the cover the same colour as the wall.

I agree with lazy-lurker. As long as you fully commit and use a high quality paint suitable for masonry.

There is really nothing worse than the look of peeling paint, especially if it happens only a year or two after you spent the money (for product and labor).

I would suggest finding a company that makes silicate mineral paint. The binder is not a plastic that will age, but rather a mineral that reacts to form a breathable bond. Also, it has a matte finish, so it doesn't necessarily have to look painted.
