Some of the fireplace manufacturer web sites have photo galleries -- you might try them. Here's a link to Fireplace Xtrordinair's. HearthNet.com also has one. Good luck! Here is a link that might be useful: FPX Gallery

Holy mackerel! I am humbly accepting these incredible compliments....I just do what I like, and for me, it works, and I'm so happy that you all like it, too. I guess maybe my one rule would be that I buy mostly vintage and antique things - stuff you won't see everywhere. jaybird, OF COURSE you can use it as 'wallpaper' - what a thrill to have you want to! teeda, that would be something! I just enjoying doing this type of thing...I wish I could make a living at it...maybe when I retire...I have always been artistic and love working with my hands. I do as much as I possibly can myself in my home. amyrsg, I don't know where you live, but I am 10 miles from this cute little place called The Mustard House, in Buxton, ME. It's a 1790 house, (painted a deep mustard color with dark red trim) that has been converted into a shop, which is only open Thursday - Sat 10 - 5:30 and Sunday 12 - 4. A friend told me a few years ago that I should go see it, and I am glad I did. :-)

Think about furniture placement. You may not want to put the fireplace centered in the middle of the wall, as it appears your furniture won't be able to be centered in front of it. That bump with the 4' opening is for a door, I assume? Where does the door lead? You will need to leave that whole area along the stairs/living room wall open for a walkway (leaving 42-48" open along the wall would be ideal, IMO) to walk through the living room to the door. If you center the fireplace on the wall, the furniture facing it will need to be off center to account for the walkway. The window and door bump outs are going to be awkward to furnish/decorate around, I'm afraid. It looks like the fireplace wall is just under 17', but after accounting for leaving open space for the walkway, that gives you just under 13' wide of space to work with for arranging furniture in the 10' area (the length of wall with the 3 windows) in front of the fireplace. Or are you planning to put your couch/es in the area where the room widens (the second trio of bump out windows)? If so, how are you going to use the ~13x10' area in front of the fireplace?

There are many pics at this link, and some of them have more pics if you click on them. It may get you started on some ideas. Did you want to to stay with neutral colors, or add in some warm Fall colors? Fall mantel decor ideas
