Don't cover them! The fixture is meant to have bare bulbs. Replace the bulbs with Edison style bulbs, which are appropriate to the fixture, are interesting to look at and give a nice warm glow. If you're feeling industrious you could also strip the paint off the fixture. It is most likely brass underneath.

Definitely paint the brick, replace the shutters with operable size appropriate ones and paint them the same color as the door!

That book is fantastic. My grandparents had the original printing of it in their library when I was growing up and it was a favorite of all of the kids in the family. My grandmother passed it on to me for my birthday two years ago. Sadly it was ruined in a flood last summer. :-(

Use it as a room divider. Or, place it against the wall near your front or back door, attach a small shelf to the front of it, and use it as catch all center for your keys, wallet, etc. Use dry erase markers on the glass as a message center....just a thought
