This is a column i built when i did my kitchen about 12 years ago. It has a hard to detect flush door on the end with a touchlatch. The whole inside is hollow and lined with adjustable shelves. Mostly it collects a lot of junk that wont fit in my junk drawers.
Luckily, i did all the fluting on a cnc router that belonged to a company i worked for at the time.

Very creative use of the space. Looks really good in the room.

Very clever. I think I’d use that secret spot to store valuables – never know when the burglars are going to strike. I really like the idea.

Neat!! Good way to utilize the space.I saw a shelf unit today that pulled out to reveal a hidden compartment behind it.

Thar is a unique design. I hate wasted spaces. Use everything and make it look good.

I agree! I’ve noticed a lot of posts recently using the “adapt and overcome” principle!

well isn’t that sneaky!! Well done.
hmm we are talking about putting a small wall up in the living room to block it off from the cold hallway in the winter. Perhaps we can get a secret storage area in it …
great idea and well executed

Thanks for the compliments everyone. I think i’m secretly fascinated with hidden compartments. Maybe it comes from the days of childhood when my sister kept finding my stuff and taking it!
I also tend to hide something inside my work. I figure one day someone will find the stuff and be intrigued by who left this little time capsule for them.

I love it! Totally dig the hidden aspect, too. You must have had a great deal of fun with all those flutes.
Have your say...
