I currently have stinky dirty carpeting in my living room and I want to replace it with a durable flooring that can stand up to dogs and kids.
Does having a paint over a popcorn ceiling change how I'd remove the popcorn ceiling?
I want to spruce up my walls with peel-and-stick wallpaper. Has anyone used this before and can advise me as to how to apply it properly?
I've heard staining is a good technique for updating floors. So how do I stain my wood floor?

Hello, I have this hole in the wall of the main entrance of my house and do not know what I can do?
first need to have professional look at it to determine if it's decorative or load bearing
If that is a supporting column it cannot be removed or your ceiling will come down. If it is purely decorative, it can be removed and you could build out shelves in that same area with or without doors for storage.
It’s not wholly decorative based on my professional experience.
You can remove the decorative part and you’ll find the structural part inside.
Youll have to patch the travertine floor...
you can build a cabinet or shelves around it, with doors, if you want.
Taking it out will be cost prohibitive.
Builders do ridiculous things. I'm guessing. like someone else said, that it is a composite column around a steel post. Even if it's wood I won't be solid. If you could find an inconspicuous place, make a hole and look inside to see what you are dealing with. I'm pretty sure you will see that you already have a post in there.
If not, I think at the very least you will be able to have it replaced it with a steel post. But that's not DIY.
