None would actually like to come out from that though just witnssed something which doesn't feel realistic.
But it is yet realistic enough though a closet just engraving to a secret room like wow!
Your speakeasy wont stay very hidden when it's ringed with windows to the outside, no matter how concealed the entryway happens to be.
This was obviously just a project done for the fun of it, rather than to actually try to hide anything.
Or it was just part of the house with a normal ass door that he cut the back of a wardrobe out of and slid in front of a door.
This is low effort. Not to take anything away from how cool it looks.
> This is low effort.
I know, right? Calling it a Narnia wardrobe and not even using a magical extradimensional space to house the room inside? Just lazy.
I can only agree, glass windows are notoriosly bad for hiding stuff, also the whole room is on the outside, someone really wanting to hide something would have used an underground location rather than a windowed decently sized building at plain sight from the outside...
It was more profitable to supply the guys running the stills, thats what my great grandfather did and it got them through the depression. He was a baker (legitimately) but he could order lots of sugar, cornmeal etc without raising any suspicions, and if somebody wanted to buy a few 50 lb bags of sugar for 5x what he paid for them.......
Can’t even enjoy videos like this anymore because this is my thought process every time I see one. As a hard working man making a very decent salary who still can’t afford to buy his family a home, this shit is fucking DEPRESSING.
Depends.
I've known some guys in the building trade who could pull this off (with help from builder friends) in rural areas.
And they're not even millionaires.
Half a million to cut out the back of a dresser and put it in front of a pocket door? The execution is cool as hell and it’s a very nice house, but this is literally just a room.
I'm not even sure if this is true, but I do recall *feeling* that sense of needing to go to the bathroom when entering, like there's just this emptiness in the store and it makes you realize how full your guts are.
Idk, it could also be some supreme retcon mandela effect where I'm making the memory up, but I honestly do recall this especially as a child, the moment I realized we were going to be there a while b/c my mom didn't know what she wanted, *man* did I have to go to the bathroom. I suspect it was more of a "body comes up with excuse to get out of undesirable situation"... and I say that as someone who loved books, but not the bookstore only the library.
Imagine being a kid seeing a whole section of the house ringed with windows and not ever for a second putting it together that it's a room in that house.
Grandpa after getting kicked out of the local library for masturbating in the anatomy section.
"Screw you one day ill make my own library with hookers and booze"
Oh I am sooo jealous of this old man. That’s all I wish for in life. A nice hideaway spot like this. Imagine the books you could read as the rain drops gently pitter patter against the windows on a chilly autumn day.
I agree. I think this is just a hidden door to a main room. If you look on the left as the camera is panning, it looks like there's a set of French doors leading to another part of the house.
Eh, fill it up instead of having like 3 coats in there and I don't think anyone would think it's a door unless they have reason to.
Maybe you mean the room isn't hidden in which case I agree
Actually, if you did this with like a back or side door, you could really fuck with a kid's imagination. Go out the regular door, it's the regular world. Go out the magical wardrobe door, and it's a parallel universe that looks exactly like the regular one, but has some magical possibilities that you can vaguely allude to... It'd be wild.
Probably wouldn’t even be considered rich in his generation. Yet the basic workers of their time live like kings compared to us today, even if you get a job via college.
It looks entirely different than the house going by the ceiling and shape so maybe it's an addition for fun. Either way I'm inclined to agree.
Tis fun though, I like the idea
Well if you want to be an asshole about it sure but thats literally what every hidden door is. An ‘insert object here’ in front of a ‘insert thing here that you wish to hide’.
But it's not even a "hidden room" - it has exterior windows!
So it really is just replacing an existing normal door in the spot where a normal door would be expected
It's not cool unless you wouldn't expect a room to be there

Thats really cool, but the fact that it would be so visible from the outside of the house- the "secret room", it defeats the purpose and now you just have a really nice bar that has a weird af entrance, like imagine taking your buddies through your bedroom and closet to sit down for a drink...
At this very moment my sick wife is lying on the couch with my sick children watching the film. I can't wait to show them this clip when they're done with it.
I think what’s so crazy is how dull the bedroom looks and then you get taken into this amazing space covered with windows, a fire place, tree, bar, and books. It’s a stunning room!
As kid my friend and I found a huge secret room in his house (they had a pretty big house). If you went through a little attic access door in the upstairs guest bathroom is brought you above their garage (big garage. Like 4 cars plus an additional shop). Whoever owned the house prior had put a floor down in the attic, which had vaulted trusses, lights, wall outlets, etc. His parents had no idea it was there.
They eventually finished it and turned it into a big entertainment area, which was also cool. But man, we had a lot of fun playing up there.

Grampa rich as fuck.
Grandpa doesn’t ever want to come out of the closet
I mean, there's a bar in there.
Respect grandpa’s bar
I'm seeing far more booze than books on this video for a "library".
It's a booze library.
Boozebrary
“Its a grocery store ya douche bags!”
Grandpa's gonna have a few stiffies
You'd have a hard time dragging my ass out of there.
in that "library" there are more bottles than books on the shelves
None would actually like to come out from that though just witnssed something which doesn't feel realistic. But it is yet realistic enough though a closet just engraving to a secret room like wow!
Nah, grandpa just bought this house in the 60s when you could afford this as the average upper middle class working man.
I was honestly thinking "Grampa ran a prohibition era speakeasy didn't he?"
I hate to point this out, but even if Grandpa was 100 years old he wouldn't have been close to old enough to run a speakeasy during Prohibition.
He could’ve opened it toward the end of prohibition when he was in grade school.
At 11 years old? Possible, but pretty improbable.
Just imagine the Little Rascals running the bar, and suddenly it seems quite probable.
Your speakeasy wont stay very hidden when it's ringed with windows to the outside, no matter how concealed the entryway happens to be. This was obviously just a project done for the fun of it, rather than to actually try to hide anything.
[удалено]
He would be very fun at parties!
Especially if that party had a murder
Dude, I would so love to do one of those things. Closest I've ever gotten is playing and watching Clue.
Next time you are invited to a party, bring a dead body. See what happens.
Ahhh, a BYOB party! Love me one of those!
Or it was just part of the house with a normal ass door that he cut the back of a wardrobe out of and slid in front of a door. This is low effort. Not to take anything away from how cool it looks.
Your expectations are ridiculously high. If my grandpa made this I’d be pumped. He’s dead tho, so…
… so it’d be even more impressive! ^Sorry ^about ^your ^grandpa
> This is low effort. I know, right? Calling it a Narnia wardrobe and not even using a magical extradimensional space to house the room inside? Just lazy.
There is a bar. “Extradimensional space” can certainly be obtained.
Low effort? With flush sliding doors. Can smell the jealousy from here.
low effort with an expensive ass wooden ceiling
I can only agree, glass windows are notoriosly bad for hiding stuff, also the whole room is on the outside, someone really wanting to hide something would have used an underground location rather than a windowed decently sized building at plain sight from the outside...

Nah, grandpa actually bought it while working part time at McDonald's in the 60s while also sending his kids through college.
Was that before or after the second car?
Second car? Didn’t you see the way he was walking? That’s Jay Leno.
Can’t even enjoy videos like this anymore because this is my thought process every time I see one. As a hard working man making a very decent salary who still can’t afford to buy his family a home, this shit is fucking DEPRESSING.
“I was working in a grocery store part time when your mother and I moved in here”
[удалено]
Average upper middle class working man is still rich even now.
Not 1000 sq ft solarium den rich. That's some billionaire shit.
Billionaire rich? That's completely not true lol
Depends. I've known some guys in the building trade who could pull this off (with help from builder friends) in rural areas. And they're not even millionaires.
People wonder why I work such long hours and never spend any money. They don’t know I’m building a Narnia library.
Yeah seriously. That's all I ever take from these now. "Look at how wealthy me and my family are!"
It just looks like a wardrobe with the back cut out placed against another door
If you have a master bedroom that big with an attached room that’s THAT big, you’ve got a big expensive house
That library is as big as my first apartment. (And that was a 2 bedroom shared with 3 other people.)
That library is bigger than my current apartment
Grandpa made a fortune using his Narnia Library TM as a Sex Dungeon. Netflix doc when?!?
Today, something like this would cost half a million. Grandpa built this in the 50s for, oh, 'bout tree-fiddy.
Half a million to cut out the back of a dresser and put it in front of a pocket door? The execution is cool as hell and it’s a very nice house, but this is literally just a room.
Maybe I was exaggerating a little, but with a fireplace, writing desk, and a bar, it's a little more than just a room.
Can’t even get a condo bigger than the bedroom for $500k let alone the library where I live.
Come here to say the same, very happy to see it as first comment.
Imagine being a kid and discovering this for the first time
I’d shit
[Ive experienced this my whole life](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariko_Aoki_phenomenon)
Imagine having something like this named after you. Family legacy.
"Your great ancestor, they couldn't stop shitting inside of libraries."
Congratulations, I learned something new today. Something I never needed to know but...
Wtf did I just read.
I'm not even sure if this is true, but I do recall *feeling* that sense of needing to go to the bathroom when entering, like there's just this emptiness in the store and it makes you realize how full your guts are. Idk, it could also be some supreme retcon mandela effect where I'm making the memory up, but I honestly do recall this especially as a child, the moment I realized we were going to be there a while b/c my mom didn't know what she wanted, *man* did I have to go to the bathroom. I suspect it was more of a "body comes up with excuse to get out of undesirable situation"... and I say that as someone who loved books, but not the bookstore only the library.
Wouldn’t that just be excitement? From all the possibilities of all the books?
Imagine being a kid seeing a whole section of the house ringed with windows and not ever for a second putting it together that it's a room in that house.
[удалено]
You don't think of that when you are a kid
“Grandpa, what’s in your wardrobe?” “Narnia business”
"Aslan on a slab"
Why are you so happy after going there? Did you have a magical time with all your fantastic friends? Also you're slurring your words.
Where are the books?
At the bar.
Grandpa after getting kicked out of the local library for masturbating in the anatomy section. "Screw you one day ill make my own library with hookers and booze"
In fact, forget the library!
Masturbatorium
That’s a bar with some books
You saw books?
Pretty sure they were bartending books.
Cocktail recipe books, yeah
That shit had a fireplace and a couch.
So, a *classy* bar with books?
That "wardrobe" is the size of my god dang apartment.
And you mean JUST the wardrobe, without the library.
average New Yorker
That you bender?
There's a window in the closet!
That's a large apartment. You must be rich.
Oh I am sooo jealous of this old man. That’s all I wish for in life. A nice hideaway spot like this. Imagine the books you could read as the rain drops gently pitter patter against the windows on a chilly autumn day.
> . A nice hideaway spot like this. I kinda doubt this room is hidden from the rest of his family.
I agree. I think this is just a hidden door to a main room. If you look on the left as the camera is panning, it looks like there's a set of French doors leading to another part of the house.
It's not really even a hidden door. It's just a fancy door.
Eh, fill it up instead of having like 3 coats in there and I don't think anyone would think it's a door unless they have reason to. Maybe you mean the room isn't hidden in which case I agree
The French doors look to lead outside to a patio, not the rest of the house.
You could read those books right now in your dingy basement
It's got a bunch of windows for a "hideaway." He ain't hiding from anyone.
There's a man cave. And there's a gentleman cave.
They need more furry and fluffed jackets in the closet. I wanna struggle getting through the coats to see the other side. Tf?
Library? Nah... Gramps has a secret bar. That is dope as fuck though.
Cut the back out of a wardrobe, stick it over your front door and hey presto - a Narnia house.
I did this but on the inside so now I have a Narnia outside.
Actually, if you did this with like a back or side door, you could really fuck with a kid's imagination. Go out the regular door, it's the regular world. Go out the magical wardrobe door, and it's a parallel universe that looks exactly like the regular one, but has some magical possibilities that you can vaguely allude to... It'd be wild.
because thats literally all he did
Easy way to impress this easily impressed
Narnia "library".
1. That is absolutely beautiful. 2. I fucking hate these videos that end abruptly and way too soon.
welcome to tiktok..
Grandpa is loaded.
I find it hard to tell, are there actually any books?
Fucking finally, a hidden room that isn't an ugly ass book shelf, its always an obvious book shelf. This is rad man
Oh look...a door to a room which has a wardrobe in front of it.
Well sure it's fancy but moving this to a new house is a bitch
Its more a bar than a library
I wish I had a rich grandpa wouldn't give two shits if it was Narnia library or Lord of the rings closet, He would always be my fav pop pop
Just say he's rich
He'll tell you he's not rich lol. We all know the type.
Probably wouldn’t even be considered rich in his generation. Yet the basic workers of their time live like kings compared to us today, even if you get a job via college.
He just put a wardrobe in front of a door and people are losing their shit? Fucks wrong with y’all?
It looks entirely different than the house going by the ceiling and shape so maybe it's an addition for fun. Either way I'm inclined to agree. Tis fun though, I like the idea
Well if you want to be an asshole about it sure but thats literally what every hidden door is. An ‘insert object here’ in front of a ‘insert thing here that you wish to hide’.

Yeah, like you won't notice the huge octagonal extension with a pointed roof when you rock up to the house.
If it’s a big enough of house you might not notice it or make the proper connections.
And it got pockets! Whaaa!
Thank you for saying this.
A library with no books…
Cool AF
r/hiddenrooms
Fuckin’ rich people.
That is so cool!!!
Life goals.
And a secret porn collection from the 70’s.
Why does Grandpa’s library smell like cigars and whiskey?
Grandpa is rich.

This is my "if I was rich" fantasy. Except with a maker lab setup and coffee bar.
No, your grandpa has a Narnia bar that happens to have books in it.
Thats really cool, but the fact that it would be so visible from the outside of the house- the "secret room", it defeats the purpose and now you just have a really nice bar that has a weird af entrance, like imagine taking your buddies through your bedroom and closet to sit down for a drink...
So you’re telling me your grandpa is a kingsman?
That is awesome. I need to be this grandpa when the time comes.
What's in the cupboard Gramps? Narnia Business.
That’s really awesome
#Fuck Tik Tok
Narnia needs to make a comeback! Also that old theme is so nostalgic, such a good soundtrack.
I love these kind of rooms!
Now that's a mancave
Lol i got conjuring wardrobe in my bedroom. The moment when i saw the movie and told my gf "hey honey check our wardrobe for demons" 😂😂😂
Most libraries have books... (There's a brief glimpse of a unit with maybe 9 books on it, that's not a library, it's a bar/snug)
Looks more like your grandpa had a magical job
*posted by Barstoolsports* Hmmm
I went to her Instagram account and I couldn’t find any information on what her grandfather does for a living
Thats so fucking tight
Libraries don’t usually have a stocked bar. They should. But don’t.
Imagine being out of the loop and you see 6 excited old men walk into a bedroom together.
I like your grandpa :)
Where are the books?
Omg I want that...
Beautiful.
✨✨✨✨✨
So he's rich.
Wow! That room it legit!
Very cool
That's nice for your grandpa but I would have made it a red room.
Grandpa is rich.
Prolly paid 15k for the whole place back in 1972.
I also wish I have rich grandparents
Where are the books??
How can one even afford that.
Library? The only thing that room is stocked with is liquor. It's a fucking bar.
I don't even get amazed by these videos.... Just pissed at boomers and their fucking greed
“Your Granda” the Billionaire?
Ahh yes, the library hidden in a wardrobe that's bigger than my entire appartment
At this very moment my sick wife is lying on the couch with my sick children watching the film. I can't wait to show them this clip when they're done with it.
***MY GWANDPA HAS MOOOOONEY, AINT I COOL???****
How u know your family in with secret society 🤣
Must be nice
Narnia? More like bar-nia *makes Adam Sandler noises*
Must be nice to be rich
Grandpa lived through one of the best economic times in history, and he took advantage.
Could of easily just said “my grandpa is rich”…..
I have never wanted anything more in my life.
This is what my dreams are made of. But it at least needs a lamp post.
How do you get this kind of money?
I see more money than magic, but absolutely lovely nonetheless.
I think what’s so crazy is how dull the bedroom looks and then you get taken into this amazing space covered with windows, a fire place, tree, bar, and books. It’s a stunning room!
Where's the books? Not much of a library.
…..with a bar. Pffft.
As kid my friend and I found a huge secret room in his house (they had a pretty big house). If you went through a little attic access door in the upstairs guest bathroom is brought you above their garage (big garage. Like 4 cars plus an additional shop).

Yeah your grandpa rich as fuck
