The Secret Law Firm Nap Closet

By Lynne DeVenny

I'm still admiring Buckingham Doolittle & Burroughs' nap room from afar, but apparently this idea is not original. Illinois legal assistant Marie Carnes shared the following comment at the nap room post:

The Big Law Big City firm I worked for when I was pregnant with my first kid had a "closet" with a couch in it. The room, an apparent architectural afterthought, was about 16 feet long and about five feet wide with a 30 year old leather couch and nothing else - not even a light fixture. Plus, the door was disguised as part of the wall. As far as I could tell, I was the only one who knew about the couch closet. The summer I was pregnant, that couch called my name everyday at lunchtime. Those were some of the best naps of my life.

Oooooh, this is like a gothic novel, except when you stumble across the secret room, instead of falling in love with the handsome but tormented lord of the manor, you get to take a nap during the middle of the day, which is even better.

Thanks for sharing this brilliant idea, Marie - this is definitely workable at our office, a historic house with lots of odd little rooms and hidden nooks (plus a ghost).
