Great idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wallmurphy-bed#post-669095 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 16:20:07 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 669095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Murphy beds: Secret obsession</p> <p>When house hunting I saw a few in actual homes. They were so niiice. All of the homeowners were taking their *custom* Murphy beds with them. Guess they just couldn't let go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wallmurphy-bed#post-669010 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 15:55:18 +0000 LindsayInNY 669010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: Ooh, didn't think about that (the holes). Something to definitely keep in mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wallmurphy-bed#post-668994 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 15:51:19 +0000 MediaNaranja 668994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have one, but my brother did in his old place. He lived in a small-ish 1 bedroom, but the living room desk was similar to the first picture. It was nice to visit and have a real bed to sleep on! I think that they are super functional, especially for a multi-purpose space! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wallmurphy-bed#post-668978 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 15:48:50 +0000 Anagram 668978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they are super nice, but they can get expensive! Of course, that depends on the style you are going for, but the modern ones are always a few thousand dollars, and I don't think that includes the mattress. </p> <p>From a practical standpoint, for the nicer wall beds, they almost always have to drill into the floor and wall to secure it. So one day when you resell, if people don't want a wall bed, they may find removing it (with the holes that are left in the hardwoods) a reason not to buy. But....then again...someone else my love it? It just depends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wallmurphy-bed#post-668968 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 15:43:15 +0000 Pirouette 668968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to have one and it was amazing! i wasn't sold on it at first, but it is SO functional (mine was bookcases/drawers that opened up to a bed). it even had little cubby holes for an alarm clock. seriously, best space saving thing i've ever owned! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wallmurphy-bed#post-668955 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 15:37:25 +0000 Smurfette 668955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our friends had one in their condo since the 2nd bedroom had to be guest room and office. It looked really nice. They put a nice mattress in so nice in fact they left it when renting it out. I think they for it on overstock. They make really nice ones these days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wallmurphy-bed#post-668848 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 15:08:38 +0000 Dandelion 668848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's a cool idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wallmurphy-bed#post-668839 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 15:07:13 +0000 chopsuey 668839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't and I don't think they're tacky if you do it right.<br /> Man, a while back we found a company that has super awesome looking wall beds.. Will try to find the site! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wallmurphy-bed#post-668783 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 14:53:04 +0000 LindsayInNY 668783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone have a wall/murphy bed in their home/apartment/condo/boat/wherever?! We've been exploring the idea of putting on in our 2nd bedroom so it can (one day) be a nursery but also have space as a guest room and be more comfortable than an Aerobed.</p> <p>Tacky? If so, other options or recommendations?</p> <p>Do you have one? Are they expensive? Where do I begin?</p> <p>ETA:<br /> Attached is the style we've been looking at (first photo). The bed opens with the desk in place and everything can remain on the desk too! I don't know how much more it is to add the shelves next to it though. I also like the 2nd photo and would put a small desk in front that can be moved when the bed is needed. DH isn't as sold on that idea though. </p> [attach=2229/13/mkaauv.600x536.space-saving-system.jpg] [attach=2229/13/mkaauw.468x283.LGM-007-hid-away-bed-desk.jpg]
