Vintage Furniture

I have been thinking of some vintage furniture we will never see any more. Does anyone remember Murphy beds? I did decide to Google this item and was very surprised to see that I can still find several for sale.

For those of you that have never seen a Murphy bed, it could be described as a vertical wall-bed. Many times, they had drawer storage on the sides. These were great for people with limited room space, a drop-down bed for family or maybe an extra bed for company. 

The other vintage item on my mind is an item that both my husband’s family and mine had in their kitchens. This was a kitchen cupboard/ table that dropped from the wall and revealed a cupboard with shelves. Of course, the drop-down leaf was equipped with folding legs, or a leg, so it was a fair size table or work space.
