Ah, childproofing, where you ruin the aesthetic of your carefully crafted home, fitting child gates on the stairs, fireplace surrounds and bumpers on every sharp corner, all to keep your little one safe.

Childproofing however also needs to be about keeping something else safe - my secret.

As we all know, children are nosy. They root around where they shouldn't, and the discover things that aren't for their eyes.

Does anybody have any experience or insight to add about how being a closeted dresser was impacted by the arrival of a child?

I've already got a hidden compartment that nobody knows about behind a false back in my wardrobe, and I can put things up high, but as my daughter gets older, I am sure she will have a look around mummy and daddy's things.
