Would you hang a picture (If you had one) over your fireplace (if you had one) - or would you hang it..?

When we lived in a couple places with fireplaces, one we hung an large acid etched mirror, the other had wreaths that matched the different seasons. Now we don't have a fireplace. We are not into hanging to much on the walls either because it can make the rooms look smaller. I have a collection of family pictures in small frames that sits on the top of my desk with a small sign that reads My Rouges Gallery.
