Use of possessive apostrophe

Hi Everyone,

I would like to know if anyone sees something wrong with the following sub heading:

The diary's room.

Does this make sense?

Thanks

The room of the diary; where the diary sits.

I thought of a 'play on words' meaning - room where a diary exposes secret information.

Doesn't seem to make sense by the looks of things.
