I added two bright orange point lights to the fireplace to warm up the lower part of the room, and added a plane in which to plug a fireplace jpeg / movie. After some great advice from Jason (former art director at Microsoft) I reworked the scale of some of the room elements. For my three spotlights I turned photons up to 1,000,000 each.
The stag horns at the top serve as a placeholder for a unicorn head, the urn is now brass/gold, I'm going to move a bust to sit on the left side of the fireplace, and I will put a gold framed portrait above the fireplace.
Mental ray continues to be a serious tax on my machine, and this render took a wopping 2.5 hours!
