fireplace surround - remove or paint?

Hello fellow Houzzers,

I’m looking for some honest feedback and advise about my fireplace surround. The fireplace is original black cast iron in the living room but the wood mantelpiece and surround isn’t.
I’d either like to paint the surround (white?) or remove the wooden surround and just place a simple (white?) shelf above the fireplace. While the living room is very cozy it can also be quite dark which is why I want to make a change.

Thoughts?
