bethdana Thank you. Is your vendor available to the public or the design trade?

ribsoo6 Thank you so much everyone for the wonderful idea's and advice. My home was built in 1907, but a more modern fireplace was put in about 5 years ago and we are just about to reinstate a traditional large wooden mantel, so hopefully that will keep the heat away from the T.V. Love the painting idea!

Perfectly Placed for You I don't have a mantel over my fireplace, but I do re position my chairs as tip # 10 suggests. Not only does it allow for more movement in the space, but it allows us to gain full access to the sliders/deck. However, this year I may try adding an urn in front as well. Thanks for the great ideas.
