REGINA, Saskatchewan – It appears like one thing straight out of fantasy, however a Narnia-inspired secret room one mother constructed for her daughter is actual.
Brittany Gogel, who owns Brit & Barclay Designs, an antiques and curiosities store in Canada, stated she’s beloved the “Chronicles of Narnia” since earlier than she might even learn. “To be honest, I’ve just always wanted to go to Narnia, so creating it in my own home was a childhood dream come true,” stated Gogel.
“But also, I have a daughter now and I’d really like to teach her how important reading and using your imagination can be,” Gogel added.
The room that she calls the “imaginarium,” is one thing she says each home ought to have.
Just just like the magical story written by C.S. Lewis, you enter the hidden crawlspace via a wardrobe. The complete room isn’t just a step into the previous with themes paying homage to the Victorian period, however a step right into a magical land full with butterflies, tree trunks and turf that appears identical to actual grass.

Gogel stated her firm advocates for maximalism and he or she reaches for as a lot colour and sample as she will be able to. “I’ve loved antiques for years, but love turned to obsession when I lived in Europe for a time,” added Gogel.
While you might be in awe of the gorgeous element and work that she put into the Narnia-inspired room, the creativeness doesn’t cease there. Gogol stated she’s presently engaged on turning an indoor pool right into a jungle with tigers and crocodiles hiding throughout.
“That’s my goal — to make adults remember what it was like to be a kid, while still being sophisticated adults,” stated Gogel.
