European Inspired Decor

Finally, the big reveal of my fireplace.  Before my photo, however, I have included a handful of images that display fireplaces found in homes in Europe that are, or once were,  on the market.  Airspace photography's beautiful images do justice to what I'm sure are dream-like places to live.  I can imagine myself in each of these homes, shopping for the decor, filling the space with warmth and my personality, and enjoying every moment spent there.  Oh what fun!  Out of curiosity, how would you decorate a room whose focal point was the fireplace?  Can't wait to hear your ideas!  Have a fantastic day and enjoy the photos.

After cleaning out the remnants of my winter fires (ashes, remaining burnt logs, etc), I now have a fireplace ready for the warmer months.  I haven't yet decided on how to decorate, so I'm still playing with ideas.  I appreciated all of the suggestions made on my previous post regarding fireplaces, however, and am keeping them all in mind, believe me. If anyone has any more ideas, I would love to hear them. Oh, and any thoughts for changing things up on the mantle; it's so narrow, but I'm sure there are a multitude of things that can be done.  If you have any ideas to share, I'm all ears!
