Thanx, Ken. That's actually good news for me in this case. I thought the black was a bit stark and 'contrasty' against the lighter color and wished I'd used a brown instead of black-so if it fades some it may look a little more subdued, dude. Handy info, I'll certainly hang on to it! Thanx, Mrs. Hoptiki and welcome to TC! Being creative is fun, fun, FUN stuff!!! And this place is ultra-inspirational too! Great ideas, S T, you know I think I've covered ALMOST every possibility for the pillar treatments. Just gotta find a balance between something that looks like a million bucks but doesn't cost a million bucks. You nailed it w/ the bamboozled PVC pipe paint job. That plan has been written into the to-do list. I fauxed some bamboo trim in my house last year using 1" quarter round molding so I think i can pull it off on PVC as well. The anchored ply is also a good idea for an inexpensive substrate to work on top of. You're putting as much thought into this as I am! Thanx much for the help! Gettin' back on it. BH
