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.

What truly sets Hygge apart is the integration of a small garden and the thoughtful use of space. The dashboard blooms with succulent plants when the bus is stationary, adding a touch of nature indoors. The seating area features versatile furniture, like a double dropleaf table from Ikea and a couch that converts into a guest bed. The kitchen is equipped with modern appliances, including a residential-size fridge and live-edge countertops, ensuring that Alisa and Kevin can cook and dine comfortably. Storage solutions abound throughout the bus, from the rolling pantry in the kitchen to the nine drawers under the bed, and even a garage space at the rear for e-bikes and tools. With a 70-gallon freshwater tank and a robust solar power system, this skoolie offers the couple a sustainable and cozy home on wheels, blending practicality with a homely ambiance.
