Johnny Pole - Support Pole

Ok, so we have a very ugly support pole, (yes it looks like a stripper pole) in our family room, and yes, it is in an odd place. No, it can't be removed or moved. Well, moved but cost prohibits it. So what to do with it, and the clear story windows above, that are old and ugly, covered in the photo. Hmmm.

Any suggestions?

This below is great looking, a little fancier and probably more expensive than I want. But, I like the color.
