We built this lovely formal Walnut computer desk for a client’s home in Bryn Mawr, PA (many years ago). It was intended as a homework station for the children in the family, and certainly will grow with them. The cabinets feature raised panels and split turnings. The slab counter had a lively lighter colored streak of sapwood and was protected by a glass top.
The CPU hides in the bottom left door. Dovetailed drawers provide room for files and pencils galore.
This is how the New Hope Murphy bed looks, opened up for sleeping. There is a matching headboard and pistons that help to lower and raise the bed smoothly.
This Custom Walnut Murphy Bed, commissioned by interior designer Adele Danziger, features a bookcase and roll out nightstand, and has matching wooden pulls. The piece, which measures 96” tall 83” wide 18” deep, houses a queen bed in an addition on a historic Bucks County farmhouse. The cut out in the nightstand counter provides a convenient handhold for getting in and out of bed. 
In progress, to be delivered next week, we have this beautiful Walnut Murphy Bed. The design of the front is new, and it features a sculpted wood handle. The curved horizontal element flips 90 degrees to become the foot of the bed when it is folded down. Under the bookcase is a roll out nightstand. Also awaiting finish and delivery is ….Continue reading In the shop: Walnut Wall bed, Sassafras headboard

This term is often a misnomer, and disingenuous. They may offer myriad options, charts for door style and finish, but the experience and product they are selling really is NOT custom. It is stock cabinetry, made in a factory. When you work with the Springhouse Shop & Studio, ….Continue reading Truly Custom Cabinetry
