Exhaust came in but order was wrong? You just have "stove came in wrong" up above:) so you had me confused...
 
Looks good
 
A pellet stove uses a different way of exhaust. Having the chimney going up a few feet may give you zilch protection if the stove goes out with pellets burning. The exhaust is not up but behind the fake brick ziz zagging back there.
The UPS of 1000 or 1500 AH will go for a couple hours (they draw little power) so enough time to shut off the feed. The fancier UPS models have a mode to show how long they will last depending on the drain it is running. If you are away, out of luck. The UPS will die when the batteries give out.

I'd plug that TV into that UPS too !
 
The new molding looks more like the "1903" house we used to have ... Craftsman movement in architecture. The molding on that house was mixed original on doorways and new on windows. I redid the window molding so it all matched.

You're looking good! Not worried that the TV is that close to the pellet stove?
 
Thank you I am going for the crarftman / rustic look
Yes I am worried about the tv
But I only have one other spot for it
When the Christmas tree goes to the curb it will go there and see how it looks
 
Off topic but the "1903" was dated due to the child's math homework I found in the wall. Explain that to the teacher ... but really the house ate my homework;lol House was balloon construction 1-1/2 floors and devoid of any insulation behind the plaster and lathe.
 
Beautiful work! I am jealous when I see open floor plans. I have 12 x 15 rooms w/ 6'4" doorways that are only 28" wide. Hard to move air. Lake Girl, cool - this house too is 1.5 stories and balloon framed. Had the walls stripped, sheathed, and blown in insulation added two winters ago.

Hope you added fire stops between floors! (see what happens when you live with a firefighter for 30 years;lol)

Now the question of the day
Will I be drinking wine or rum ?
 
I have about 3 feet from the stove
The stove says 8 inches lol

You should be fine. When you get the stove running feel with your hand from time to time the side of the TV and the furniture it sits on to be sure.

With the stairs there like that and the extra opening into the kitchen you should have no problems moving heat around. I have a similar open layout and I put a ceiling fan in there and it helps shift more heat.
