Creating a Japanese Zen/ Small Rock Garden Indoors..HELP?

Question

I've recently moved and am happy to report my living room is rather large for the first time ever. I've chosen contemporary low profile furniture and am aiming for a serene, zen theme and so far so good. However, the longest wall still seems empty and i'd like to use the space to create a zen like space w/ bonsai's, plants, candles, and a rock garden perhpas. Any ideas?

Here's a site that can certainly help when it comes to bonsai ideas. The gent at the front is the owner/grower/artist. He's been cultivating some of his plants for 20+ years.

Here's an article about indoor zen gardens.

Please remember that when you're looking at bonsai, you need to concentrate on indoor plants because you'll be assembling your garden indoors. The available light will also be a concern.
