We are finishing our basement and this picture below is a sketch of my idea for a wall that will separate the main family area from my office. The bookcases on each side of the fireplace will be stained wood Murphy doors and the fireplace will be a gas double sided one. Here are my questions...
1. We are planning on painting the fireplace shiplap black. Will that look funny with the cape buffalo since they are both black? I plan on putting some track lighting above too.
2. How far out from the wall horizontally will the average cape buffalo be? (I don't have the buffalo yet).
3. The other side will be my office and I'm planning on putting a shoulder mount kudu over there. The ceilings are 9 feet. Will a kudu shoulder mount be too tall for that space (since it would be above the mantle)?
Thanks and have a great Thanksgiving!
