Project: Updating Spindles

If you buy a house built before 1980, chances are you are going to inherit a knee wall or bookcase with spindles on top separating a room. The architecture and definition are nice. The spindles, not so much. Thankfully, they are usually quite easy to remove. Cut them with a saw and pull them out. In some cases, all you need to do after that is fill the holes and paint what's left. If you have a header, adding just one simple column can update the space at minimal cost. This is a project I am comfortable taking on by myself with just the chop saw and my drill. Bonus points for freeing up space to put down your keys, phone, etc.
