Bala Cynwyd Murphy Bed Room
Contemporary Bedroom, Philadelphia
BUILT-IN TWIN MURPHY BED* / Creates a Guest Room
Although the room serves primarily as an office, it easily becomes a guestroom; on the opposite wall from the desk is this handsome built-in twin Murphy bed cabinet. When the doors are closed there is full access to the entire room.

*William Lawrence Murphy invented the Murphy bed so that he could entertain an opera diva back in the days when a lady could not enter a gentleman’s bedroom. However, if the room was a “parlor,” no bed in evidence, well – that was a different story!
