ell, One room challenge week 2 is here and there is still no baby! But there is a king-sized murphy bed that's been built and is ready to go. Along with a little more progress on the built-in front, we are rocking and rolling already.
Did You Say King Sized Murphy Bed?
Was the King Size Murphy Bed Hard to Make?
Now, don’t forget – we hired a professional to help with this but I did ask about the process of making the king sized murphy bed and what he thought. The frank response was “I honestly don’t know how an average DIYer could do this one on their own.” After getting into it a little bit more, I learned that most of it had to do with the sheer size of the king version of this (exactly my fear when attempting to do it on my own – and not really being able to lift anything like I used to).
That being said, this DIY king murphy bed kit (which comes in all the other sizes too) did make the process simpler. The kit provides you with the tools (i.e., legs, hydraulics, locking mechanism, and more) as well as the material list and cuts required. There’s even a 24″ or an 18″ deep option. We opted for the 18″ given you walk through the door into the “built-in” – 24″ would have been too deep.
A Little More Built-In Progress
Good progress being made! As a reminder, here’s the inspo for the space. Because sometimes we need it (I always need it).

This looks great! I dream about a murphy bed for my husbands home office too! Right now he’s crammed in there with a full bed and his desk. My mother in law only comes a few times a year to stay so it would really be so nice for him to have more space the rest of the time! Can’t wait to see how this room comes together. I’m doing a tiny loft office off our primary bedroom for the challenge!
