I seem to recall a phase in the 80s where design elements similar to these enjoyed a revival. We have two sets dividing the dining/living areas and the others are on the wall overlooking the entry way pictured below. After being gifted a reciprocating saw for Christmas (thanks, Harriett) it was time to attack these babies.

And the after! Doesn't it open up the space so much? Now we have to refinish the top of the 1/2 walls with a little wood filler and paint but that's easy-peasy.

I love seeing all your home improvements. It definitely opens up the room. We're house hunting again and seeing a lot of these little design features from the 60s and 70s that make us laugh and some that we love. My favorite? Gold veined mirror tiles. Sexy or tacky?
