Baseball Wall Unit

This may look like one of the many murphy beds that I build but it is not. It is a standard baseball bed with a wall unit. I took the headboard of the baseball bed and surrounded it with a couple bookcases and light bridge. It was completed in February 2011.

The bookcases are built just like the ones I use on the murphy bed with the full length door and a couple drawers at the bottom. If you ever wonder why the drawers of this style bookcase never start at the bottom, it has a cubby hole. It’s there so there is not interference with the lower hinge and drawers. I think it give a nice little effect. You need somewhere slightly out-of-site to store them dirty cleats.

It is built mainly from maple with some MDF. The finish is pigmented lacquers.

The lights are controlled by a touch dimmer at the top of the headboard.

Here are some of the true Murphy bed styles: Yankee's Special Edition, Vintage Style

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.
