Solr search based catalog with facets - how to?

Hi,

I was wondering how I could achieve the functionality I need based on SOLR Search and Facet API.
I need to create a general products page where you can use filters to customize the products result.
The best way to do this, according to me, is to use the Apache SOLR Integration module. With this module you can create a search page for only product_display bundles.
If you also install the Facet API module you can decide which facets you want to show in a specific region.

For me, I want to group all these facets into one div "Filter on:", but I don't know how to do this. It seems to me that you can't get the search box (keyword facet search) to display in the same region you display the other facet blocks. Or am I wrong here?
What I want to achieve is very much similar to an existing Drupal Commerce site: http://www.etcwineshops.com/shop-here.

I also want to add the price range filters. But which contributed modules do you need to get that price range facet?

Any help would be much appreciated. I'm kind of stuck on this page... :)
I also made some mockup for this screen but I can't get it uploaded... It keeps saying the extension is wrong even when it is an ".jpg"-file...
