Hidden Playroom
My friend, Andrea Riley and her husband, created not just one secret playroom, but four for their kids! I think they get the parents of the year award.

You have to see all four of the hidden rooms! Andrea’s daughter’s pink room (featured above) is the coolest! You’d never know there was a room behind the wall at all. So much so that her babysitter couldn’t find the kids when they forgot to fill her in on the secret rooms! ha!
Hidden Room in a Wardrobe
Maybe you don’t want to cut holes in your walls for a hidden room? How about cutting through an armoire, CS Lewis style!
