My two car garage has been converted to a kitchen, but I've been having problem deciding what to do with the two metal poles and horizontal beam splitting the room in half. I would like to keep the poles and horizontal beam; however, I would like to make the metal poles into circular columns and keep the horizontal beam as one solid piece (ie, looking like a long piece of wood).

Please let me know if anyone has ideas/options about making the metal poles look like designer circular columns.

Thanks,
SM
