At this very moment they would see My way laid out quite graphically.
Living Room has walls lined with Japanese Bondage Art. Erotic and BDSM books lying sensuously upon the Japanese cabinet. My Domination CDs displayed prominantly. A pinwheel crystal vase holds ostrich feathers and canes of various intensities. Ooops a new dildo is sitting on the oriental chest...waiting...waiting...waiting for Me to remove its plastic covering.
Trust Me..it gets worse...so I will leave it there for now.

LOL, I have become so used to it now it takes some thinking and looking. There is the shelf with various books of course. Then canes, ropes, and floggers in the living room...more in the bedroom along with other assorted goodies such as clamps and bullwhips and cutting necessities...and the cuffs hanging from the bed frame ready for use or retrieval anytime. Oh and latex gloves here and there.

Oh my! 
Well, I am in the middle of re-arranging all my stuff. There was a book on domination in my living room bookshelf, but it and dozens of other books have been relocated to the bookcase in my bedroom out of necessity. I needed the space to stay organized.
I cleaned up my computer the other day. All the files about sex have been moved to a zip disk. I use a different browser to access Literotica, one that is hidden from sight and no bookmarks.
The hall closet had an open box of hastily packed items that had not been used in three years. Most of it was not worth much, but I found a pair of leather cuffs that I had mistakenly thought an ex-girlfriend had kept. I also found some letters and other things that I will keep.
Everything else is unremarkable until you reach the bedroom. In the closet, mixed in with the belts, hangs a 3' flogger. There is the bookcase, which has half a dozen books about sexuality and two specifically directed at male dominants.
The bed appears to be normal except the metal frame is scratched up in some places, the paint rubbed off by the wiggling struggle of handcuffed submissives. The concrete wall at the back of the room....two large o-rings bolted into the cinder blocks. But why would anyone need two o-rings to hold up a simple decoration?
And then we behold the small red filing cabinet at the foot of the bed. The bottom drawer holds all the toys, the permanent equipment cleaned and organized, the new/temporary toys still in their original wrappers. (If a toy goes inside a submissive, it is now her's and her's to keep as a gift.) The bottom drawer is getting full so I will have make other arrangements soon.
The top drawer has papers, letters and files. There is that zip disk from the computer. There are printouts of how to do certain techniques, or rope knots I still have not mastered, of things I still need to learn before trying in a live situation. And finally a notebook with D/s written cross the front cover. It is not a journal but a chronicle of sorts that I started in 1997.
Thus concludes the tour of my wonderful abode!

Funny You Ask...
I've been house hunting and the thing that struck e most about this now vacant house that was last lived in by a cop and his girlfriend is that there are hooks in every single room - dozens in the ceilings, more on the walls - they are EVERYWHERE. My realtor, seeing my fascination, stated that they must have really liked plants...yeah...exactly...and what kind ofplants do you hang in the closet or under the basement stairs??
I'm going to REALLY like this house!

Well let's see hanging on in the bedroom on the wall are two quirts the crop is hanging from the doorhandle. There are a couple other things propped up in the corner that don't look like anything then the full toybag in the closet out of sight of inquiring minds

Would my husband, tied naked in an eiffel tower postion in the middle of the living room with clothespins on his balls be too obvious a clue?
I mean, if they came in at the right time...
Otherwise, they'd need to look in the skylight to see the eyebolt he would've been tied to (strong enough for suspension). Or if they looked closely in my closet, they might notice that curtain rod pops loose to become a spreader bar holding his legs apart...
But if they just look in the old steamer trunk, they'll find all the cuffs, paddles, vibrators, stims, etc.

i have a house filled with family visitors from overseas. Our bedroom was forfeighted for them. It took ages to clear it. I forgot to 'clean' the pc, remove abandoned questionnaires in the bedside lockers and sachets of lube in everydrawer. Other than that, its not on show
No one would suspect anything here unless they went into a closet.
In the closet they'd find lots of rope neatly hung on hooks. If they went through a drawer they might find some other toys.
If they came over while she's here, they might see the rope laying about if we hadn't had time to clean up yet.

If they would go into the room that we use as our "playroom" they will notice right away because it's kind of "dungeonish" to say the least.Mr Blonde said:
The rest of our house is completely vanilla except for the toy-closet in our bedroom. *Ziggy*

Our rope is out, but with the good excuse that it doubles as a teaching tool for my violin students. The rest of it (collars, BDSM symbol jewelry, toys, and books) are tucked neatly into the drawers of my nightstand, with the exception of Different Loving which still occupies its place of honor on the bookshelf.
T and I usually play around in the morning before I go to work and he goes to school, and I have a terrible habit of leaving my toys out afterward because normally I have to rush to get ready. Our apartment is pretty small, too, so anyone walking in to go to the bathroom will usually be confronted by plugs, vibrators, and lube. Our flogger is a regular sight to most of our friends.
My literature is mostly vanilla, with the exception of "Claiming of S.B." and Richard Adams' "Maia." (Which really ought to still be in print; it's quite lovely.) Occasionally he'll make a rather blatant note to me on our refrigerator's dry-erase board. Not much else.
The best (and least obvious) aspect of our relationship is our table. It's a lovely oak and leather bar table with matching stools....but one of the stools is about six inches taller than the other. Guess which one is mine.

Well, considering space is at a premium ( I live in a 26ft RV while at school) It is fairly obvious, I have a signal whip hanging from the closet door stop, my travel kit (black leather, approx 3 ft long, 8" around, closed by 2 straps) sits at the foot of the bed in back. THe toy chest, sits at the end of the couch up front. But considering that visitors are extreemely rare (I like my solitude when not in school) there are no problems.

That is a really fun question, and fun to read the answers.
As I live with people who directly has expressed their disgust for BDSM, I'm forced to hide it all in the closet. But if I had my own place I would probably not bother to hide it in my bedroom, as most people who walked into it would know about my BDSM intrest anyway.

Wow, disgust? That's too bad. I mean, I guess I could understand squeamish roommates who don't want to think about the possibilities of where that rope/flogger/clothespin has been, but flat-out disgust? That's kind of harsh!dreaming_lilith said:
Kudos to you for being so accommodating! In your situation, I might be tempted to leave a few almost-innocuous things out deliberately, in order to get a rise out of some close-minded folks.

Umm, lots probably if they knew what to look for. The ropes at the end of the bed. The St A's cross in the spare room that the b/f is working on, my book case has a few eye opening titles, and some of them are just "picture books".
But I guess the give away at the moment is the plaster bust of myself that I am painting in my art room that opens into the main living area.She sort of dominates the room, if you will excuse the contrary notion. I am working on her detailed corset with lace up sides. A rosary and stockings.
And no I dont hide her when I get visitors. She will go in the garden when she's finished.

look and u will find.....
I dont think anyone would know the deeper side to me...unless they knew the signs, so to speak. One or 2 books that hold a secret....my dining table that has been used to bind me to...it has some very interesting metalwork that was there when i bought it....which my Master has made use of! Toys etc are hidden away in the bedroom and restraints are the sort that can be folded away. sadly at the mo no hooks for me to "hang plants on" !!

Hehe, it is just temporary. I'm VERY bad at censuring what I'm thinking, it just pops out as soon as it crosses my mind. My family and my friends doesn't care too much, they know what I like and it's not a big deal. I slip verbally sometimes and for those who knows me it gets rather obvious what I enjoys in bed then.
But here I've been forced to learn to shut up because the people I live with now thinks wanting to spank someone is as sick as killing and eating up someone.
But they respect my private life so all toys are safe in the closet...for now
Nice thread idea! This could be incredibly fun to keep my eye on!
Most of our house is pretty vanilla, as 4 other people live with us... but if you came into our suite, the first thing you'd note is the length of rope hung from a hook on the wall. We're not into 'country' music or culture, so it might seem off. We have some framed photos of me in BDSM poses on the walls, so that's another tip-off, and by the bed is our 'treasure chest'... sitting on top is our whip, and inside is the flogger, paddle, vicks vapo-rub (trust me, it's an excercise in titillation), a gag (which I hate, but deal with), a few butt plugs, and some other sex toys. We have one ping-pong paddle hanging on the wall... but not a table in sight... *grin*

I'm a single mom with kids, but if a visitor were to dig around, they'd find a collar, leash, nipple clamps, toys, etc. If they checked out my computer, they'd find photos that my Master has taken of me or had me take of myself, BDSM poetry and links, and other things. I'm in a very small Southern town, so I don't know anyone around here into this lifestyle and I don't talk about it. I do get a thrill out of wearing my BDSM pendant that my Master gave me. I wear it everywhere I go, but I doubt anyone knows what it stands for. But the thrill is in wondering if maybe someone does know.
