Yes. You need some BOOKS! LOL! Really, some nice books and large pieces - not so many small pieces and mabe a couple of plants to soften the look. Can you get a piece of wood and stain it to match the restfor the space between the upper and lower cabinets on the left? Beautiful ROOM! LOVE the fireplace!

Thanks, yes good idea to paint the other side to match - not sure why builder did not do this.

Yes, and I meant just for the wall so you will still have your shelf to put a lamp, etc. on.
