Crafts: TARDIS Fold-Down Bed



Stubbs from “The Stubby Thumb” wanted to to make her guest bedroom a little bigger on the inside, but found that “murphy beds” were a bit expensive for her budget.  So, she decided to make one of her own.  Check out more pictures over at her blog as well as detailed instructions on how she built the whole thing.
"Murphy beds are pretty spectacular. They are also spectacularly expensive. I looked around, and the best price I found on a bare bones Murphy was $1899. I don’t know about you, but I have way more ways to spend money on any given day than I have money to spend. So I decided to look into what it might take to build my own, since I’d have to put one together if I ordered it anyway. I found a kit I could buy that came with all the specialty hardware (bed stops, gas pistons, legs, etc.) and written and DVD instructions for cutting the wood and putting it together. I also ordered the light kit so I wouldn’t need night tables anymore. Since Murphy beds are the ultimate space maximizers, it only made sense to build it using Time Lord technology: bigger on the inside!"
