Our kitchen and living room are separated by five large columns, encased in ornate, white molding. Since they are load-bearing, the columns can not be removed so we decided we would just replace the molding with something more modern. When Jeff pulled off the molding of one of the columns, it left a small metal pole with an industrial look. Now we have a dilemma. Should we polish up the metal and keep the poles or should we replace with a different wood molding? What do you think?
