I am sure whatever you do it will look great. Just adding a lightened version of the picture because I couldn't see it too well.
Good luck to you.

I wouldnt do anything except paint the mantel black. I might think about painting the bookcases black as well. If you dont like black, think about white. But I think black fits into your Western theme better. White can be prissy.
Most people are building bookcases alongside their fireplaces and tv's so I cant see removing those wonderful bookcases when you have them. They add value to y our home as they look like built-ins.
Also, I was going to recommend painted your stone fireplace until I read further and saw you LIKE the western type decorating. I think this stone work fits nicely.
Go with your gut feelings when making these decisions. No one else knows what you feel like inside and you are the only person you have to please. You know best what is good for you.
Good luck

If you are ready to get rid of the fireplace. Then go ahead and get rid of the shelving as well, and paint where the shelves were, you will be surprised at how much difference taking the shelves out will make. Good luck, and please post pictures, regardless of the final decision. We would all love to see the final outcome.

Oh yeah, forgot this idea! Make an enclosed closet out of the exsisting shelving. You can use an old outhouse door, or a hutch type cabinet using framed chicken wire.

A piar of old cowboy boots lashed together with leather cord, and used to hold wheat stalks, bittersweet, pheasant feathers, etc. makes a good western sit-about.
Use horseshoes arranged in a quilt type pattern to decorate a wall. Use strips of callico to tie them together.
I once took colored buttons and glued them to cardstock to look like differnt fruits for a kitchen project, wonder if you could do this on cork board in a good barn wood frame, and make it look like a wild mustang head... wow just found myself a new project too!

Red Neck again with a Red Neck solution.
If nothing else works, Kerosene it. Scrub kerosene generously into the spot. Go outside, put the garment in a large bucket with hot water and automatic dishwasher detergent (the harsh gritty stuff) and plunge with a plunger. You should see the spot dissolve and disappear. Let it cool, squeeze the liquid out, and launder by itself in hot water and dry on a clothesline. (Don't put it in the dryer unless you cannot smell the kerosene any more.)

There is a product called "Zout" on the laundry aisle. I have used it on clothes that were washed and dried with oil on them and the oil came out. Almost every shirt I owned had grease or oil on it due to cooking, and now none have it anymore. I'm not sure about truck grease, but I know it worked wonders for me. Hope it works for you! God bless!
