This is one of my Murphy Wall Beds that I build. This one I call the Bullock after the last name of the person I built the first one for. It was completed on March 22, 2008. I built this one from Red Oak with a Provincial stain from Minwax.
The front on this is 4 solid raised panel doors. I have added some crown molding at the top and some base molding on the bottom . The base molding is actually just 5 ½” crown with the top edge cut off and rounded over. It make a very nice multi-profile base molding that can dress up your furniture projects.
Here is a picture of that style base molding, but not on this project.

Motthunter, that has been a popular question. Here is what I wrote on the last project that I posted.
You asked where I get them. I use the piston lift design by create-a-bed. I sell the hardwear kit which includes: the cabinet locks that are controled by the legs, the leg hinges, pistons, piston mounting plates, pivot plates, bed stops, screws, paper instructions for both partical board and plywood construction, and a DVD. I sell it for $299 including shipping.
I did some research a few years ago when I started making Murphy beds and this system was the best and the most simple to build.

Hi Chris,
This is both a nice piece of furniture and an excellent use of space.
Thanks for the post.
