BUS

Before…

…and after.

Tali Shaul and Hagit Morevski are friends from Even Yehuda in Israel. The pair were enthusiastic to work together on a creative project and were inspired by an article on alternative housing they read in a women’s magazine. They bought this 12 foot long bus from a scrapyard and have since completely redesigned the interior transforming it into this sophisticated luxury living space.

Arcul de Triumf Bucharest

Bucharest-monument

In response to this post, fellow blogger wheels sent me the photo above with this caption:

Reminds me of what I saw on a trip to eastern Europe (Romania, Hungary, and Bulgaria). When they put up scaffolding around a monument or building for repair work, they put up screening fabric printed with an image of what it looks like.

That’s the Arcul de Triumf, a monument dedicated to the veterans of Romania’s War of Independence against the oppression of the Ottoman Empire (and later for Romania’s role in WWI). This is its 3rd incarnation: the 1st was wooden, erected in 1878. It was replaced with another in 1922, then that one was demolished and rebuilt in 1936. So what’s behind the curtain? This:

Arcul de Triumf Bucharest December 2015

Apparently, that poor guy in the red car has been trapped in the roundabout since December 2015.

Here’s what it’s supposed to look like:
