Erika Kofoed of Kalix, Sweden, is restoring a 1966 school bus named Berta to create a gathering place for customers of her second-hand shop.

Kofoed began "Project Berta" two years ago, seeking a way to expand beyond her existing retail space. She shares updates about the renovation on social media. The project involves a complete overhaul of the vintage bus, and Kofoed anticipates significant work remains before Berta is ready to welcome visitors.

Despite the challenges, Kofoed expressed her determination to finish the renovation, describing it as both enjoyable and demanding. She hopes Berta will become a unique destination for people who visit her shop.
