Wow, that's an awesome idea. I was wondering how I would do something like this, some day, when my son moves out.

I have a dual purpose room too. There is a regular full size bed in there, but I had my husband make a special stand/frame for it that sits higher than a regular frame. That makes it the perfect height for a cutting table (I put a cardboard cutting board and a cutting mat on it) and it sits tall enough that I can stash storage containers underneath.

I have a cutting table similar to this one: http://www.cooking.com/products/shprodde.asp?SKU=795503

This link shows it folded up: http://www.amazon.com/Retraact-It-77.../dp/B000JZ3KDK

I got mine at Ace Hardware. It will fasten to the back wall of your guestroom closet. You can keep all of your rulers, scissors, etc., on the pegboard back and, when a guest comes, you just fold it up against the back wall of the closet. Your guests have a closet and, when they leave, you just unfold your cutting table and you're in business again.

Are Murphy beds hard to find? I would love one in place of this double bed I have in my sewing rm. I can barely get around the room. Our son had one in Germany and we loved it. I already have a cutting table, sewing machine in it cabinet, plus a bis wardrobe with extra fabric[walk in closet packed with shelves of fabric too]Plus a small dresser with tv on it and 4 sets of wide plastic drawers.Not to mention a 70'' wide felted and wood framed board on part of one wall. Talk about tight! Enough about that. Let us know if you get a Murphy bed and how it works???? Marlene
