[quote=Anonymous]I have seen a few remodels in other areas where the owner puts back a wall that goes about 1/2 the length. This keeps the support in the necessary place, gives the room more definition but doesn't block it off as much as doing complete length walls with small doorways. This works for those ugly style 90s houses where you walk in and the living room is on one side of the entry and the dining room is on another and there are a bunch of support columns.

For bathrooms with columns, these are usually faux not structural but if they are structural then doing a full remodel and putting in walls for the tub area is an option. I have also seen designers use built in shelving and wood mantles and faux stone to get rid of the two story marble fireplace landing strips that were so popular in the 90s.

Despite everyone complaining about how expensive the DMV is, it is actually super cheap compared to other cities/burbs. There are enough new builds at prices lower then the cost of buying a 90s house and completely updating it so in this area the 90s houses are unlike to get upgraded anytime soon. [/quote]
