Indoor Gardening and Houseplants: Shade-loving houseplant needed, 1 by calypsa

I am looking for a houseplant to grow along a ledge/shelf that runs above the sliding door in our kitchen. This sliding door faces West and the plant would see no direct light at all. Exactly opposite the sliding door, on the other side of the eat-in kitchen, is a hallway with no windows. Ideally I'd like to find a low-maintenance plant to will wind its way along this ledge and just look green and nice. (My MIL keeps telling me to put up a fake plant, but that just seems so wrong to me!) This seems like a tall order to me and I have no clue about what type of plant to consider or if such a plant even exists. The shelf is about 6" deep.

Anyone have any ideas for a plant that might do well in this spot?
