My question for today is: should the fireplace surround be white? My sense is no, but the wood stain isn't in great condition, and when you look at the mantel piece up close (not something you do often, granted), there are marks and glue or filler from where it was previously fitted.
Fireplace is nice in that colour, wouldn't worry about tiny details like that, maybe get a piece of glass with painted back or a thin piece of marble cut to size.
Might look a bit more airy if the wall behind the shelves was white.
