"Before and After"

Here is a wall that needed to come out, connecting the main living space to the kitchen.

Luckily it wasn't a load bearing wall, so it was fairly easy to do.  

I created the columns out of MDF, and mitered the corners.  The floors turned out to be different heights, so I had to create a transition.  I the upper panels were created on my router with a cope and stick construction, and the lower panels I made recessed and applied stock molding in the recess.
