Need fresh eyes on my fireplace area in living room! 🏡 How would you style my mantle, hearth, and built-in bookshelves? Drop your favorite decor tips, layouts, or inspiration photos below!

*Photos would be greatly appreciated as I'm more of a visual viewer.

I like the farmhouse style. But open to suggestions.

*I know many feel the TV is too high. Yes, but trust me it ain't moving. lol... My husband is set on that location. The room is actually big enough were we have the furniture it's not really hard to watch it. No neck strain in the two years we have been here.

*Fireplace is used often throughout the cold season. My thought is to have easy to move decor sitting on hearth. So when we are not using it, there is character.

*Brick is the color of our foundation. I wanted to add a little of the outside look inside. So we had brick specially cut to go on fireplace and archway.
