What the hell to do with a really low ceiling (and a fireplace) - Tiki Carving

Firstly, the ceiling is seriously low - anyone over six foot would have to stoop. As a result, I can't hang any of the fun, nautical stuff up unless I strung up a very tight net on the ceiling. There's been many a mention of basement bars, but has anyone had any success dealing with the low-ceiling problem? Second hassle is the fireplace, which looks ok, but isn't all that Tiki. It could be operational at a stretch, but I'd prefer to put something fun where the fire should be. Any suggestions? All help much appreciated. Trader Woody
