Shorty Robbins built a civil war themed Tiny House to use during reenactments and loved it so much, she sold her big house and moved in! 

Check out the piano bed!

1885  piano bed in Brooklyn Museum. It's the only authentic one I found on a short google search.

The little video on the page is interesting. I wonder if the piano innards made any sounds when the sleeper tossed and turned. :D

Probably not, since the specs describe the keyboard as sham.  I hate to think how many elephants lost their tusks (and lives) to make the keys for those sham keyboards.

I did a bit of reading, and it seems that most white piano keys from the late 1800s were made of celluloid, not ivory.

The Murphy bed people hid them in all sorts of furniture items.

Google "antique murphy beds" images for some nifty examples
