A modest amount in northern climes during non-fireplace usage season = fine. And to finalize the look, I position some over-sized, stylized wood or metal lettering on the mantel that spells "SPIDERS," all crafty-like, and affix a trendy neon arrow nearby pointing to the stack.

Off-white upright piano is blowing my mind. I'm hitting Craigslist pronto to find a 'You-Haul-It-It's-Yours' antique 88-key beauty and then it's ON, kids. Thanks for the idea, R!
