Regina on Nov 23, 2014Hi: I think this is beautiful but here's what I would do..first, get rid of the eagle and the wreath. Then, I would either put a nice painting there or a large mirror or maybe a bunch of small mirrors. If you put up a bunch of small mirrors, you could hang them with burlap bows or any color such as bright red to bring out the earthy colors in your room.Helpful Reply

Leigh Rowan on Nov 24, 2014Paint it the same color as the wall, paint the brick if you want. I would add a natural looking mantel like a log or barn beam. The mantel would deflect the heat for the addition of art. Also do you have a built-in blower?Helpful Reply

Susan Cryor on Nov 24, 2014Leigh, this is a Jotul gas fireplace, they do not have blowers. Tried fans behind it, did not help, hence the ceiling fan addition. Thanks?Helpful Reply
