Hi Cindy, here are a few ideas you can try - http://nextluxury.com/home-design/best-basement-pole-ideas/
You could box it in, Make it part of a bookcase wall or nook.
thanks great suggestions
I would drywall around it and make it a media center....paint 2 sides with chalkboard paint and cover 2 sides with corkboard to hang photos, notes, etc.
Hi Cindy,
Make it a feature, by building shelves around it or applying mirrors, Building a dressing table, or just box it out and decorate as rest of room............
Hi Cindy, you can build a box around it, or incorporate it into a part of a closet or small storage area
