Pine shelf to match mantle on right side of f/p for pics & art without hanging, tv under it mounted on wall. Pine 2x12s to make top for cabinets (upper kitchen cabs under it to hide media stuff, etc) We would not have seat under f/p as our ceilings are lower. fireplace about 12" from floor then mantle on top of that then space for our coastal lake island view (could be horizontal or vertical views (changing w/seasons)
This is a possibility. Our door is very pretty with the oval leaded glass window. If it was Black it would be one of a few other black items in the room - ie curtain rods, vase near front door, black & white stripe pillows, zebra stripe fur throw for Royal, black wrought iron on coffee table, Marley's painting, Black around fireplace, etc. Maybe I could put black paper on the door to check it out and see how it looks.
