    Is it possible to get more of the fireplace stone and reduce the height of that plywood overmantle? It looks way out of proportion. I would also swap out the actual mantle with a larger, thicker wood timber. Then use similar rustic wood above it to create a panel in the overmantle

      What about something like this? Salvaged old cupboard door with a mirror attached. You could stain it to match the beams or the cabinet next to the fireplace.

      i too feel it is out of proportion. i wondered why it wasnt stone all the way up as there is no tv hookup or electricity there. thank you for your suggestion.

      I wonder if there was a mirror above the fireplace or another custom panel, that's why it's not all stone. I would whitewash the wooden insert so it would blend better with the stone and look for metal wall art along these lines but hang it vertically.

      IMHO I would also take down the wheel over the doorway if you will have a large art piece over the fireplace.

      There are a lot of tall skinny things in this space....lots of rectangles and straight lines and not much to break it up to let the eye look at something else and a different shape. Even in the doorway, there is another tall straight skinny item.

      Is it possible to move the hutch away from beside the fireplace? Love the chair right there as so cozy, and maybe a tall plant or a floor lamp could go beside/behind it instead.

      The art work currently on the mantel is beautiful, but maybe too many details right there as the stone already has a lot of pattern. You need something simpler and going the opposite direction the art is.

      Choose an accent color.....like a blue and put blue candles on the beautiful candlesticks on the mantel. Maybe make those a feature up there instead of a piece of art. It will be tough to find something the same size as the wooden part, so focus on the part closer to the living area. Put a blue throw and pillow on the chair.

      Looked at your room again and see lots of candlesticks......try placing all of them in a grouping on the mantel with the current candles on them, even and let us see what that looks like. Could be a fun look!

      You could arrange 3 wrought iron wall panels vertically maybe? Would look good against the wood.

      I think a textile would look good hanging there. The room has a lot of hard surfaces so I think something to soften it might work. I also think that wall has a lot of stuff along it. Less is often more. I'd take down the wheel, mantle art, and K letter. Is there anywhere else for the glass front cabinet? It really takes away from the sliding barn door and ceiling decor.

      Kathy, thank you for the great idea on a quick alternative to restoning it! It definitely would create visual interest-right now it just seems wasted area because of the wood inset.

      Everyone, awesome ideas! I am going to try several and take some pics then repost for help. The only thing I can't do before the holidays is new stonework. Thank you for your help!

      Compelling, The ceilings are 16 ft., so I agreed with my husband that the wheel could stay, otherwise that doorway looks very tiny. I would like to take the picture down and use it in our bedroom, which is basically untouched. It has beautiful SW grey harbor paint. The house is new. The builder put that inset in and I am not quite sure why. :)

      Place the large wheel over the door way above the mantel after taking the painting down
