I like how the top of the cabinets and fireplace are basically all the same height. I also like the TV to the side of the FP. I envisioned a nice reclaimed wood mantel above the FP, but am open to ideas. I also rather like the shiplap (although prefer horizontal, and perhaps only on the middle section). Lastly...I like how the section above the mantel is a bit narrower than the bottom.

Another similar idea...but I don’t want the TV above.

I also like this mantel - not reclaimed, but still a bit natural/rugged.
