I think keeping the doors helps as it keeps the kids out of the fireplace and I love the white brick, however I think the mirror should probably go now that you mentioned a painting. The mirror seems small for that space and it is giving the living room a more outdated look. We do like the antiquey vintage look, but we also don't want it to look completely outdated.
