BUILDING A MURPHY BED

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

After attaching the decorative trim, fill all nail holes with wood filler. Once dry, lightly sand the entire surface with 220-grit sandpaper (or 120-grit for initial smoothing) to ensure a smooth finish without removing the primer. Apply caulk (e.g., DAP acrylic latex caulk) to all seams where the trim meets the plywood to create a seamless appearance. Once the caulk is dry, prepare for painting. The presenter uses a Wagner Control Pro 130 airless paint sprayer with 'Ripe Olive Green' paint. Apply several thin, even coats of paint to the entire exterior of the Murphy bed, ensuring full coverage and a professional finish.

Goal: Fill nail holes, sand the decorative trim, apply caulk to seams, and then paint the entire exterior of the Murphy bed.
