A rusty bus is transformed into a bohemian guest house

The bus was painstakingly restored, which involved sourcing replacement parts online and in some cases, even fabricating hard-to-find pieces.

Originally, the 1959 Chevrolet Viking bus exterior was a muddy brown and rusty white. It was given a new look with a fresh coat of paint.

Thanks to the paisley prints, bright colours, and dangling beads, the bus feels like it’s en-route to Woodstock! To give the space a 1960s aesthetic, the owners chose white oak for the interior millwork and durable salvaged pine for the flooring. Not only do the two benches offer plenty of seating for passengers, they also hide storage drawers underneath.

This small table works as a little breakfast nook, a spot to play cards, or extra seating for passengers. The beaded lamp is installed directly into the table to avoid any flying objects when the bus is in motion.

In the evenings, the two benches/single beds can be put together to make a queen size bed.

Behind that white oak panelling is the toilet. We love how when the sink isn’t in use, it can be covered with a part of the countertop. It’s now an extra surface to place a drink!

When the bus is parked, the large back door can be left open to let nature inside.
