After about 2 1/2 years of planning, sketching, working, re-working, accidentally coming up with new designs, and kludging around problems, my home-made Murphy bed works! This finally leaves me with a good space for doing a bit of work-out in the morning (as long as the bed doesn't fall on me:). Next, I shall use the space on the underside of the bed for extra storage.

For the photographers: Both shots are done with the same lighting setup and white balance. The brown floor and underside just changes the color of the room.
