Secret Passageway - Page 2

I saw one on a design show as well. As a kid I would have liked a secret passageway to a playroom. As an adult a secret passageway to a private reading and art room/studio.

Fabulous in a gothic mystery, not so sure I'd build one into a modern home. Were I to purchase an old home where one already existed, it might be fun, otherwise, probably a no for me... Seems sort of silly...

In my pantry with my cupcakes...

It's a cool feature to have but I wouldn't want one. If I did, I'd use it to store valuables and/or a panic room.

As a child and teen, I would have loved something like this. As an adult it has much less appeal. I still think they’re interesting in old houses, but I would not build one in a modern home or add one to my current home. I don’t really have a need for a secret room.

When I think of secret rooms I sometimes think of rooms people used to hide Jews from the Nazis or rooms predators use to hide their captives. Definitely a bit of a scary & creepy factor for me. Sorry to be a bit morbid but this is what comes to my mind.

I would like one for extra storage for crafts etc.
And maybe another one just for an office for privacy and storage for valuables or a hide away for reading etc.

I'd like to hide away a room big enough for a huge safe or two. I'd like to store the safe and it's contents (or really several safes, as I'd like to have one just for my home movies and photo albums and important papers, another one for our second amendment things, and a third for sentimental things that I'd lock up before going on vacations to protect in the event of fire) sight unseen and not easy to detect.

This seems pretty obvious, but be sure the opening is big enough to accommodate washer and dryer or bathroom fixtures.

It reminds me of a mystery movie from the 40's.....

I would like a secret passage to a Craft Room, that way I could leave a project that was in progress out in the open without it being disturbed and it would be out of the way of other family members or guests.....
