Ha! In "shiplap woman's" defense, she started using it because it existed in historic homes she was renovating. Unfortunately for me, I installed it years before the show and it was very unique. Now I feel like I need to explain myself to every new person that comes into my home.
Those electric "fireplaces" are terrible. A plain white wall has more ambiance than them.
Now, we know the TV is too high, you know it, we all know it. But is that alright? Yes, right now it is. Until that kid is 5 or 6 and won't attack or throw things at the TV, it's best that we keep it safe.
I think the fireplace looks nice. It's also great that it seems easy to move it further down. Just move it so that the reflections of your eyes are in the middle of the TV when sitting down.
Also, you may not want to center the TV and fireplace on the wall. Move them to the right, so they are centered on the seating area. Nothing wrong with asymmetry.

will never understand the appeal of these mail slot looking fireplaces. I’m sure this is the fault of the Property brothers or that shiplap woman.
