A murphy bed is a great idea. You can build your own if you can find the special hinges needed.
We have been building our small house for the last 3 years, while living in it, and all kinds of ideas pop up as it progresses. We're near the end now and my sewing space is very small, compact and doubles as the office. It takes up only half of the small loft, with a full size bed for guests in the other half. It all works. My guests know that I sew and none of them mind if my sewing machine is out. I just cover up my sewing table with a table cloth to cover up my creative mess. I've learned to do with much less this way. It's like living on a boat...you find a place for everything necessary and the rest goes, "overboard."
