Cool Idea: Retractable Footboard Flatscreen

Esquire magazine recently unveiled this year's Esquire house, a modern Los Angeles man-sion designed as the ultimate gentleman's pad. Though some of the features are a tad over-the-top (like the lime-green-lit tequila bar), there is plenty here to covet.

I especially love this idea from the bedroom: the bed's wooden footboard conceals a flatscreen TV (fig. 3 in the photo), which stays tucked away until you're ready to watch it. I'm always looking for clever ways to keep my electronics out of sight, so what could be better than a retractable television with its own pocket?
