Trees/Shrubs for Backyard Landscaping Project

My wife and I are putting together plans to landscape our backyard this coming Spring and are looking for tree/shrub suggestions. We ideally are looking to improve privacy and have a "northwoods feel". Some of the species we are looking at include:
Paper Birch
River Birch (one already planted at the back of the yard about mid-way from left to right)
Cedar (Red or White)
Maples
Douglas, Balsam, and Frasier Firs
Canadian Hemlock
Dogwoods
Viburnium
Holly
Pines (Jack, Red)
Oaks
Spruce
Winterberry
Lilac
Rose of Sharon
Serviceberry
Redbud

We have a thread on the ladscape design forum that includes many more specifics and includes diagrams and pictures:
