If you want to go

traditional, choose a solid-looking divider made

from wood cabinetry. You can add tons of storage

and shelving space this way.

See-through glass

cabinets provide more light and display space for

your china, photographs or other heirlooms. Of

course, this solution is less pre-fab and more

labor intensive than a panelized divider.

Another solution is

to get twin French doors that fit the dimensions

of your "wannabe" wall, and to install

vertical posts and framing around the doors.

The minimal

approach is to purchase stand-alone, folding

screens. These panels can be folded and taken

away when the wall is not needed.
