apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I've always thought these were smart, but who would want to take all that stuff off your shelves every time you went to bed. I guess perhaps if it was the guest bed...

I think that is the reason most of them don't have shelves. I had a friend who had one like the second one, the shelves spun around to the back and the bed was out (an already made) in less than a minute. Was quiet nice for the space he gained.

I love murphy beds, wish I had one!

I have a vintage 1920's rotating murphy bed in the living room of my apartment. I wish more places had them, as the instant guest bed if fantastic. It's up out of the way 90% of the time, until the unplanned guest needs to crash and wallah, intsta-bed.
