Shhh ... It's a Secret (Door, Room, Staircase)
Raise your hand if you used to watch The Munsters TV show and
secretly envied the cool lifting staircase where Spot, the pet dragon,
lived below. My hand is way up. The Munster mansion was positively
riddled with secret rooms and hidden compartments. Grandpa's laboratory
was accessed through a trapdoor in the floor. Once you were in the lab,
if you pushed on a stone in the wall, part of the stone wall swung away
to reveal a dungeon. When Herman had a call to make, he tugged on a
bellpull, the wall slid open, and a coffin glided out and opened to
reveal the phone. Pretty slick. And those were just some of the secret
doors and hidden rooms. You'll have to watch the reruns and see how many
others you can spot.
You may not have a laboratory, a dungeon or dragon, and you probably use a cell phone that you can just hide in a pocket, but that doesn't mean hidden rooms, passageways or compartments aren't a great idea. Check out how these homeowners created a little mystery and fun in their homes. Is there anything you'd like to hide?
You really can have that lifting staircase in your own home without the creepy Munster décor. This one conceals another staircase to a lower level. This is a lot more interesting than a coat closet. I just don't know how I would keep it a secret, because I would want to show it to everyone.
This wine cellar has a bounty of storage out in plain view. However ...... the really valuable vintages get stashed in a second wine cellar revealed when this entire storage wall opens up. Great idea to use a wine cellar to hide your wine cellar.
In the movies, we often see a wall safe hidden by art. What about using art to hide things that just aren't that pretty to look at? Framed movie posters can be the perfect way to hide AV components and that collection of DVDs.
