Its actual...Actually...that post isn't all bad. Its actually a floor lamp. The camera angle makes it look like a post.<br />To answer your question about how to deal with a post in a room, it all depends where it is positioned and what shape it is. <br />In the past, I have applied full mirrors on posts that were close to the edge of a room, near windows. This makes the post "disappear" as it reflects the outdoors. Of course, this only works if the post is not in any traffic pattern in the room. This solution is usually best for condos where posts are often near the windows.<br />In one home, a single post was put up in the foyer under the grand circular staircase. Bad design! So, because the post was located off to the right side, I had the carpenter add a second post (yes a fake one)on the lefthand side to create a balance. This ended up looking like the two posts were meant to be there and looked great. <br />In other instances, if the position of the post is such that you can build around it, then do this by adding built-ins or bookcases. Again, the post will disappear.<br />Hope this has helped a little.<br />ChrisseAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17644906005062605110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912036723713875074.post-52473984018568519532010-04-27T13:30:03.247-04:002010-04-27T13:30:03.247-04:00yikes,i'm sure it will be beautiful once done!...yikes,i'm sure it will be beautiful once done!!!picture no.4 with the suuport right in the middle of the room poses a problem for so many people who want to re-do theire family room(like me!!)any suggestion's ??? thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
