Remember when you were a kid. You wanted a place of your own. A place nobody else could go. It came down to a choice. Treehouse or secret room.
Abigail and I have been discussing the pros and cons of the two for a few weeks now. Treehouses are fun, but they're not very big and everybody has them. Secret rooms are few and far between and she can pick wallpaper and wall colors (as seen in photos). And so I decided to "finish" a small area in the attic as the girls' "secret room." (Note: It is insulated and cooled.)
Behind what appears to be an air intake lies the Secret Room. (Hereafter capitalized.) Bob helped with the electrical so I wouldn't burn down the house in case any of you were worried. It has lights and power, bead board walls, and a huge area for dry erase markers.
Abigail has plans for expansion, but I'm not sure if a fourth story is in the cards. Needless to say, the girls have spent a ton of time putting stuff in and taking stuff out. As their friends come to visit, they get to see the Secret Room. Just remember, No Boys Allowed (except me)!

ps. i STILL want a secret room to call my own
This is so cool. We started a "club house" for the boys in our house in Gray in that door above our door in our bedroom. It was going to be the bomb! But, just like most of the projects we start, it never got finished, and we moved before they got to play in it.
Glad you guys aren't like us and actually finish projects ;-)
Cool!
