When space meets imagination, the result is something extraordinary.
This custom-built Murphy Bed, handcrafted from Wormy Chestnut wood, is the perfect example of how function and craftsmanship can come together to create a truly transformative piece of furniture.
At first glance, it looks like a beautiful built-in wall with the character of rustic barn-style doors. But behind that warm wood texture lies a comfortable, full-size bed that folds down effortlessly when needed — a timeless solution for modern living spaces.
Designed, built, and finished in Honey Brook, Pennsylvania, this Murphy Bed reflects what Choice Custom Cabinetry & Design is known for:
quality, practicality, and enduring Amish craftsmanship.
A Smart Solution for Modern Homes
Today’s homes demand flexibility. Whether you live in a historic Lancaster farmhouse, a Philadelphia apartment, or a suburban home in Chester County, space is always at a premium.
A Murphy Bed offers a perfect solution:
- By day — a clean, organized wall of cabinets, shelves, and storage.
- By night — a cozy and inviting bed that folds down with ease.
This particular model, made from Wormy Chestnut, was designed to look like a pair of barn doors when closed, bringing warmth, texture, and heritage into the room.
The built-in cabinetry surrounding the bed includes drawers, doors, and integrated lighting — creating a unified, custom look that feels both intentional and elegant.
Craftsmanship in Every Detail
We don’t believe in shortcuts. Each part of this Murphy Bed was made from solid wood, not particleboard or veneer. The unique character of Wormy Chestnut, with its natural color variations and aged grain patterns, gives every piece an authentic and timeless feel.
Our Amish craftsmen hand-select each board, ensuring consistency and structural integrity. The hinges and mechanisms are precision-fitted, allowing smooth, quiet movement and durability that lasts for decades.
This isn’t flat-pack furniture — it’s a piece of custom millwork, built to blend seamlessly with your home’s architecture.
Designed Around Your Lifestyle
Whether it’s for a guest suite, home office, or studio apartment, our Murphy Beds are designed to enhance your space — not take it over.
Imagine:
- A home office by day, a guest room by night.
- A playroom that transforms into a sleeping space for visitors.
- A compact apartment that suddenly feels twice as big.
Every design starts with your vision and is adapted to your space, finish, and functionality needs.
We can include:
- Integrated shelving or bookcases
- Reading lights and power outlets
- Built-in wardrobes or drawers
- Custom hardware finishes
- Matching wall panels or trim
Because when you choose custom cabinetry, the possibilities are endless.
The Beauty of Wormy Chestnut
The choice of material makes all the difference. Wormy Chestnut, once abundant in the Appalachian region, is prized for its distinct grain patterns and natural character marks — each telling a story of American history.
Using reclaimed or sustainably sourced chestnut allows us to preserve that history while giving new life to a rare and beautiful wood.
Its warm tones and rustic texture make it ideal for blending traditional and contemporary design styles.
