Looking for ideas to maximize or improve your home office or crafts space? This DIY Murphy craft table might help!
If you’ve got limited space, anything that offers some space-saving, efficiency, or functionality is a great idea. This DIY deck is a great option for a super-compact home office or crafts space. Since it folds, this Murphy table can offer you a little extra space when you are not using the desk. It is multi-functional, too, as it can serve as a chalkboard or even a mirror!
The wall-mounted writing desk features three bill organizers, two adjustable shelves, two fixed shelves, and one corkboard.
You can modify the shelves and the size of the entire unit to suit any purpose. Need a sewing table, a crafts table, or a laptop table? This versatile DIY furniture can be all that!
