Be the girl in the fireplace
By Never teh BrideEver wish you could have your own secret lair? I know I have. Conversely, perhaps you’ve often wished you could keep the downtrodden safe in times of great upheaval. I’m no sure that wish has ever been in the forefront of my mind, but it, too, is an interesting thought. Maybe you just hope that a handsome doctor will pop into your life one night to save you from bogeymen?
Creative Home Engineering can make most of those wishes come true. Their luxe choices include a bullet proof vault with pin-hole video bookcase with a fully automated out-swing door or a rotating fireplace that only turns when you pull down on the customized candlesticks, though they do have much more basic options like dressers and plain cabinets. Pretty much anything you’ve seen in the movies can be yours, according to the site.
The thing that really wows me is that you can custom design your switch — want to pull down on a leather-bound library book to activate the whole works? No problem. Would you prefer to have to press down on any number of integrated carvings before your hidden door will open? That shouldn’t be a problem. How cool is that?

That is too cool for school!

(covets and longs) I’ve wanted a secret door all my life. I even know where I would put it.
Of course my trigger would have to be in honor of:
Put. Ze. Candle. BECK!
Oh, and The Girl In the Fireplace is one of my all-time fave Ten episodes. If you and I weren’t already married to such great guys, I would totally whisk you off to Canada and gay marry you.

Oh my gosh. That is WONDERFUL. I have always wanted a secret hideout, and now that I know it can be done I will be squirreling away my pennies so I can have one someday.

But will they hook you up with all the Batgirl accessories, including the wig stand? That’s what *I* always wanted!

Color me flattered, Twistie! We would indeed make a great pair!

Also a convenient way to increase you book storage. It’s a bookcase, it’s a door, it’s a bookcase, it’s a door… It’s a boocasedoor!
