Too Much Wall Space

In my small cottage the living room ceiling has been removed and is now vaulted. This leaves it looking like a little room with tall walls. I had sat there staring at the open space between the living room and kitchen wondering what am I going to do with the blank space. I had several ideas, but knew I wanted something architectural. I found this large iron piece at Hobby Lobby for half price. Though it is not the vintage piece I wanted, I think it will do for now.
