Make your fireplace a storage unit for your books, artificial logs, collectible, heirlooms, even plants etc. Just thoroughly clean the inside of the fireplace and paint it if you like. Let the paint dry or the clean solvent clear up and begin storing your items in it. Not only will this add variety and difference to the space but also a place for you to keep your extras.
