Is this one structure surrounded by a separate frame encasing the 3 sections?

How large is this?

It's hard to tell exactly what this is like from this one picture, but I would consider just removing the louvered portion from the center and painting out the shelving in a dark ebony. Are the shelves backed by glass or is there something else reflecting light behind them? If so, I would also remove the glass. Another option is to open up the divider completely and use the shelving else where in your home, mounted to a wall for instance. I like the shelves and don't feel they are dated in and of themselves, but knowing what style you are going for in your home would also help.

It's right at the entrance of the house, the living room is behind it. There is no glass and its 8 1/2 feet long

Ill send a pic from the other side...

I'm thinking I'd eliminate it all. Since I haven't seen the rest of your home, I'm not sure what to recommend you "add" to this space, but I'd prefer to have wall space where artwork or funiture could go in the entry, for sure. Is there paneling on the wall behind the fireplace?

Here's some ideas for you. Can't really tell from the photos but maybe you would want to close off the wall or remove it.

Hi, why is your tv blocking it? It is taking away from its beauty. I think you should make it a statement piece in your room. Mount the TV on another wall and check out selections funky/fabulous wallpapers to play with it. You can insert overlays inside of the spaces and paint it either a color that STANDS OUT! or choose a color that compliments your room colors.

Working with what you got is a smart and innovative way to make your home a fashion-palette. I'll redesign anything!

That design is only in the top half the bottom half is just the wall.

I kind of like it too. Although you have many good ideas above. I would however redo the ceilings.

Wow, I'd remove it. Open the space. Save the cubed sections and reuse somewhere else. Maybe add a column at each outside of the opening (two columns). If TV has to stay in that space, lower it on a lower unit. It should not extend above the lower wall. Maybe you can mount it higher on another wall. More pictures of the living room would be nice. I'd like to see the room that the TV is in, the 4 wall views.
columns can be square and simple, but space around them.

I think you have a fireplace. Mount TV above the fireplace.
