This is a murphy bed that was completed on September 15, 2009. It features our Ross style with 18” bookcase. The book case has 3 drawers on the lower section and adjustable shelves on the top. The finish shown here is Colonial Maple from Minwax (see colors).

Another excellant example of your work! Dang I like these beds! I just got an idea though…A Murphy bed with wine racks on both sides. ; )

Great looking murphy bed. I’ve always seen them built in, never stand alone. Did you have to attach it to wall studs? I like the live video feed. Be careful where you scratch yourself, we’re watching you.

Yes it is mounted to the wall, but not the floor.

Nice bed a shelving unit. I had just completed my first one not too long ago and it turned out to be kind of a pain because it was a whole wall unit. I hope to try one of the stand alone styles sometime in the future. Just out of curiosity where do you get your murphy bed components?

Huckleberry, I just looked at your murphy bed that was great. I love the design. I use the Create-a-bed system. If you need one, I sell the kits. http://wwbeds.com/doityourself.htm

Wow.

I haven’t looked into your photos or vids on this one, but … wow … I need to.

This one’s in our home. I’m sold on the concept. Don’t think I could /ever/ do what you did, though. Bravo!

Our store-bought Murph....
