Sofa Murphy Bed Closed

Sofa Murphy Bed Closed
Originally uploaded by cdavis9699@sbcglobal.net

This is a bed that was completed in February 2009, It is my standard Euro style with quite a few modifications. One of the new design features of this one is the sofa. This is a sofa that I designed to be placed in front of the bed when it is in the up position. When the bed is needed the cushions come off and the bed folds down between the arms.

Another feature of this bed is the sliding bookcases. These bookcases are designed to be above the sofa and in front of the bed when closed. When the bed is in used the bookcases slide out of the way. I used a standard by-pass door system and used both tracks rollers on each bookcase. This added stability and more strength to the unit.

The third feature is the inset bookcases. For the bookcase drawers on the side to work, I needed some space for the arms of the sofa. I needed about eight inches so I build a couple bookcases that were turned inward. This allowed me to have some extra space without wasting it.

Orginal Train bed

I am currently building a train bed and blogging about it (see Train Blog) Some of you have been watching so I thought I’d share this one that I built in 2004. This is a bunk bed version, unlike the one I am building now.

Here are some building pictures of the new one. I didn’t have any saved of this first one:
