Baseball Murphy Loft

This bed is a cross between my Baseball bed, a loft bed, and locker murphy bed. I’ve built the loft only version before (original loft). This customer wanted to have an area to play along with a full size bed.

The scoreboard headboard is totally customizable by the customer. I have a form that the customers fill out and submit (see example). The bats are authentic Louisville Slugger signature bats.

Changes I made from the original was to eliminate the slide and take out the window on the side panels. The Window would be in the fold us section of the murphy bed. The slide would also interfear with the operation of the bed. I could have made a different style, but the slide would also take away from the look.
I kept the ladder holes incorporated into the sides. I really like the clean look of not having an attached ladder

Football Locker Murphy Bed

This is a version of my locker murphy bed. It was built in November 2009. This is a murphy bed built to resemble a football locker. I normally build this in a baseball style. The inside headboard is designed like a scoreboard. This is taken from my regular baseball bed. The outside has graphics to look like vents, a name plate that doubles as the support leg and lock. The team graphic was one that was bought and applied.

This style is alway a fun one to build.

My Girls Beds

This is a couple Murphy beds that were completed 12-23-2008. I built them for my two daughters. I designed it to cover an entire wall. The two beds are separated by a desk with shelves. Each of the beds and the desk all have a three stage touch sensor lights for reading or to be used as a night light. The lights over the bed I added a mercury switch to shut the lights off when the bed is in the up position.


I finished it in just a natural maple with two coats of pre-cat lacquer to match a chest and a converted changing table that I built before.

I gave this to them on Christmas but were not able to install them until New Years day. We also painted the room Tinkerbell Green.

Cherry Finish Excalibur

This is a Murphy bed that was completed on 5-9-2008. I call it the Excalibur. This bed has arched raised panels on the face along with fluting on the trim beside the doors. Above the fluting is the release leg that unlocks if from the cabinet and acts at the support feet when the bed is in the down position. Above the feet are rosettes that were cut in.

To tie it in to the customers existing furniture I matched the color and changed the crown up a little. The customer had some dental molding that they wanted to match. To get this to work I had to deviate from my standard cut list and make a taller header and sides. The dental molding wraps around and I needed to figure a break that would allow it to disassemble and reassemble to where the molding looked seamless.

The color is a dye stain followed by a wiping stain. The dye is a combination of brown and red dyes with a lot of thinner and the stain coat is Red Mahoney from Minwax. The cherry colors was matched off a customers drawer.
