the whole tree up. :-)

so.. normally you can expect to get 80 percent of your investment back.

interesting lighting from the ceiling as close to the wall for effect and depth of the wood. Remove ceiling fan. Then find something very large to hand in the center of the wall towards the upper portion of the peek.. perhaps a large rustic monogram Letter or super large clock with Romain Numerals. I would complement the wood wall with tree limbs painted cottage white and bundled with jute rope or twine of some kind and stand in opposite corners of this wall. The brick I would go over the brick with bead board on each side of the fireplace. Paint the breadboard the same color as the wood wall - floor color. Add a deep shelf like wainscoting from one side all the way over the top of fireplace opening to the other side of the fireplace. Add a DIY bench on the right side of FP and on the left I would find a huge basket and fill it with pillows and throws. Paint the brick a deep brown and white wash over top that. Add dimmer lights under the wainscoting and something large in the middle of the fireplace. Try to find old beat up house shutters to place near or next to your windows. And or make a bench or hearth with them. :-)
