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.
