How to make a secret door/book case
A
number of years ago I owned an old mansion with 11 bedrooms and eight baths and
a full basement with several secret rooms…we also had an even more secret room
near the attic for which I used for ‘special’ projects…lots of fun and it would
have reminded many of the classic Stephen King movie, “The Shining.”
My good friends recently renovated their attic and were able to close off some of the “unusable” space into a secret room. My friend has wanted to have a secret room his entire life, and with their first child on his way soon, the recent renovation was the perfect way to make it happen. The whole idea is for his son, in about four years, to find a secret playroom in his house!
The renovation left an opening for me to build the bookcase in, framed out simply as a short door frame. Even though the walls are new construction, the floor and ceiling have been around since the 1920’s. Old construction adds a whole lot of variables to making built in cabinetry, and I definitely ran into lots of hurdles because of it. Learn more here:

door. I think that it has something to do with their eyes.
