Alisa and Kevin’s DIY conversion of a 1996 BlueBird school bus, named “Hygge,” beautifully embodies the Danish concept of coziness and contentment. The exterior of the bus is painted off-white and remains largely unchanged, save for some windows replaced with metal panels and the addition of solar panels on the roof. However, the interior transformation is where the magic happens. The couple has designed a bright and inviting living space with white cabinetry and wooden accents, following a “side-by-side” room layout that includes a charming seating area, a functional kitchen with a rolling pantry, a bathroom with a composting toilet and shower, and a cozy bedroom with ample storage.

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.

Full disclosure, Emily had a really great design post planned for you today but y’all, it’s been VERY busy with basically two weeks of shoots lined up (one might include some river house reveals but shhh! :)) and she understandably needed to postpone. Of course, we didn’t want to leave you without a post so we decided I’d write this one. Here’s the story – I was on Instagram the other day when I was fed an ad from IKEA. Normally, I would scroll past but I was pleasantly surprised by the pieces I saw! IKEA has always had great options (we’ve used them for countless projects) but I just feel like they are really nailing recently. So here are my favorite NEW pieces that I love and have no need to hack:)
