The attic
Can you see it?
Still can't see it?
There you go!
Not used in a while
The sign
A lamp alarm
A map over West-Europe
A scary doll shoe
hiwelcometoimgurhowmayiwasteyourtime
Am I the only one who immediately thought of when George Michael hid George Sr. in the attic of the model home?

I would like to request a picture of OP.
hittinhedges
I'm super surprised it took so long for someone to say something about that. I thought "are we just ignoring that issue?"
Obnoxious
Someone is going to comment that the girl looks really nice. Or I will.
alphakid
I started having flashbacks of the unopened safe at the first pic. Thank you for not leading us on OP!
ipickmynose
But seriously, every attic has that scary doll shoe
tarataqa
why are doll shoes scary? little girls have lots of them.

I was afraid this would turn into another 'Safe' incident

Yes
ancientnorseman
Actually, this seems to be a WWII-playhouse. Without tea china. But with a make-pretend alarm. Children adapt.
Justinicus
Why isn't it a real alarm?
Icantbebothered
Maybe because the people in the room were supposed to stay hidden and silent?
Justinicus
That would mean it IS a real alarm.
butmomalltheotherkidsdoit
Despite how utterly cool a hidden room in the attic is, it is sad people had to hide from other people. What weird little creatures we are
fauxnews
My, IKEA has been around for a while.
NOTAnAdminOfThisWebsite
Incidentally, Ingvar Kamprad, father of IKEA, is known for having been an activist with the Swedish national socialist movement during WWII.

And that is why IKEA furniture is impossible to construct.

phew.. for a second there I thought we were about to have yet another safe...

Also, the scary doll shoe really ties the room together. No need for a rug.

Don't act like you didn't just put that room together, I saw your Ikea bag.

The sign is in Danish and reads: "If you have the runs, you're NOT allowed in here." - No kidding.

Actually, it's Norwegian

Not Danish, but norwegian...

Norwegian, actually. Sort of old'ish though, so I suppose it resembles Danish quite a bit.

This sentence is exactly the same in Danish.

Besides, this was found in Norway (I know, cause I know OP personally)

tondemageren says"the sign is not from WW2 - the letter 'Å' was not used in Denmark before 1948." So some later kid reused it as clubhouse

It was meant to keep the people inside save. The stomach noises could've been heard by soldiers. Or they didn't want a dutch oven.

As opposed to a German oven.

could it have been an abolitionist house? maybe part of the underground railroad
redmonkeydominatestheworld
I don't think there was a need that far north.
supremacysun
There was. Canada was the endpoint of the Railroad, not the North. Escaped slaves caught up North would be returned.

It's entirely possible, only a few hours away from Chicago.

The sign says in Norwegian: If you have a weak/bad stomach, you can not enter.
wheredoigofromhere
i'm pretty sure it's Danish :-)
computerphile
As a norwegian I would call this danish before I called it (old) norwegian.
GahBluh
Its norwegian, 'mave' can be used as stomach in Norwegian as well. It says on reddit it is in Norway, so im guessing it is norwegian.

WHAT DOES THE SIGN SAY
FaceFullOfNope
"No Homers"
HowTheHeck
It says, "If you have an upset stomach, you have no access" .

"DO NOT OPEN SAFE"

"If you have bad moves, you're not allowed in." That's what I got for mistaking an A for an O.
donmathiasen
You ain't allowed if you have a bad stomach, it's danish lad
AwesomeWelles
something along the lines of "Notice, Notice, If you have a bad stomach, then you can't come in here."
ilikejucylucys
What google came up with 'Attention, Attention! Have you darlig move, you do not adgong'.
Magnivore

It says roughly translated
If you have a bad stomach, then you don't have access
Thatswhatishouldhavesaid
If you have an upset stomach, you are not granted access.
Thrillhowastaken
"post to reddit in 2013"
kaIIe
Something "if you have X, you haven't Y".
iateadragonfly
+1 because that's exactly how I would translate a sign written in Japanese.
kaIIe
Well, this one is written in either Norwegian or Danish, and it's pretty close to Swedish (which I know)
janijani
"If you're sick in the tummy, you don't have access." The "obs obs!" is just saying like "pay attention to this!"
AnnuhBananuh
Obs (in swedish, guess it goes for danish and norwegian aswell) means observera. Translated to observe.
epicor
"LISTEN!!" or "KREE"
kampsnegla
JAFFA KREE!
TheodorJepsen
it says "if you got bad stomach" "don´t go here"
AssamLaksa
I wonder why the translation says that? Is it because it would cause farting?

something about doing sit-ups
Symbiosis
Its danish, it says: " If you have a bad stomache, you're not welcome here"
LocutusOfBored
This is what I got. "obs, obs you have an upset stomach you can not access" Basically "Don't poop here"
MisterBuzzKillington
DUDE!!! WHAT DOES MY SIGN SAY?!
freddieboy
Attention - If you have a bad stomach you don't have access.
TheIowan
The bad stomach translations, i.e. "THIS PLACE IS TOO SMALL AND SEALED FOR FARTS." A little hiding from the Nazis humor.

It says: 'Always use a question mark when asking a question.'
