My fireplace is the focal point of my living room and I have no idea what to do with this space or how to decorate it. It overwhelms me to look at or try to think of what to do with it. I have 3 small children who like to sit in the nook with the pillows, but I am open to anything! Does anyone have ideas of what I can do with this space? Does it need to be painted? I know which space is for a fire, but don’t have a clue what the other spaces are for? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
