You are very welcome rjinga. I only used Paint which comes with windows for your virtual. It's easier to use for simple things like moving something around. If you want to change color and have the items shadings show through you can't do it with paint. Well not the version I have with Windows Vista anyway. I'm curious if there will be any changes to it on Windows Seven. Seems a friend that's son has it said there were some good changes. My cold is causing my brain to freeze up right now. Not to mention my hubby at the last of the cream pumpkin cake a friend made for us since I've been designing her kitchen. I never bake so it's nice getting "paid" this way! LOL.

the first option is not old fashionable..it's traditional..a pretty classic one. it will be much more in line with your tastes as you explain them, than stacked stone you don't need to prolong the wall visually there-and the more massive fireplace will partially obscure the window..they're just too close I'd go with a first option..or variation of it..then I'd balance the window with an art over the fireplace that you love. The fireplace will also be lighter and read more natural. I'd consider window treatment as well. Do you need privacy there, light control? Maybe you can go for more stationary treatment, like one curtain pulled to the side. or maybe a stationary cornice..same color as the wall whatever it will be..will make window look shorter, more framed. In any case requires careful consideration. you'll have time to figure it out when your new freplace will be in; but start looking at the pics etc. the window seems a bit too tall..any reason for that? how does it look from exterior? do you need more light in the room? It dwafs the door a bit I know there are tricks to make a window seem shorter than it is..if that's what you'll decide to do..even with moldings..I don't remember enough about it right now though maybe you'll be interested in this blog https://laurelberninteriors.com/ (her taste is new traditional..she writes a lot about everything including windows, fireplaces, etc, and is an honest and amusing writer too) or in reading this author https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0307408655/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 he is famous for his work of combining traditional with modern touches. obviously he's opionated about some stuff because he explains his own style; but lots to learn and admire anyway

@spiritflower the mirror is leaning on the mantel for right now until I hang it so it’s angled up and the way I took the photo I angled the camera up so you could see the whole fireplace. you won’t actually be looking at the air vent, it will be mirroring the dining room. Thank you for your input 🤗

IMO no. Art needs to be hung with the center of the pice at eye level so approx 65” from the floor That pice is too big for above that heasdboard for sure .
