Your Secret is Safe with Me...

By
Managing Real Estate Broker with Windermere Peninsula Properties

The sun poured through my bedroom window this morning. I knew after all of the rain we have had recently that this was going to be a great day.Secret

I have been spending a lot of time reorganizing my house. My two oldest daughters have moved out and I am getting things organized just the way I want them.

My husband I love to remodel. I should say, I love the how it looks and feels when we are done remodeling. It can be messy, time consuming and not always go quite as planned but I love the finished project.

So when my husband (a firefighter) got off his shift this morning he wanted to know what I wanted to do today. So I teased, lets move things around and I would love to have a safe room. You know one that no one really knows about, we can keep items secure in and most importantly- just like on every Scooby Doo episode - I want a secret passage to get into it.

About 20 minutes later while I was making breakfast I heard the saw start up and the cat run upstairs. Looks like we have another project underway!

Have you ever thought about putting a safe room in your house?

Dinah:  Yes, I think about this like this all the time.  When growing up, I could hide in my parents walk in closet shut the door and be in a whole new world.  What a fabulous idea.  And the title caught my attention... I thought you were going to talk about keeping your sellers/buyers secrets!  LOL

Linda-secrets are important but there is nothing like your own secret place!

Maria- it will be very similar! I am lucky though, he brings my ideas to life!

Kathy- When we are done it will be a post. I should grab a few pics while we are underway. Right now there is a lot of dust and a giant hole. I am looking forward to getting my house back over the next few days!

Dinah, I have always wanted a safe room, but the current house has no place for it. Now you let the cat out of the bag, everyone knows what you are building and where you will be hiding your treasures.
