We paid a nephew to make us a Murphy bed and bookcases to match. Then we moved! Every time we move and leave something to "enhance" the sell, it gets tossed. I insisted that we take our bed and book cases (floor to ceiling) with us... but our new apartment is simply too small. So, we put it in our daughters house as a guest bed and the bookcases fit also! Now it comes down when we visit (or when anyone visits). It was expensive, but probably has paid off for us in comfort and motel bills. And no, we don't freeload; our daughter has several kids, keeps her the family business books (accounts), home schools, and takes off to sail when possible (she addicted to tall ships and records the trips and the science projects) and we give her breaks by adventuring with the kids... a win-win situation.
