My kind of commute

IKEA, in a stroke of advertising genius, has transformed a train in Kobe, Japan to a glorified Ikea showroom. Sofas, curtains, and wall paint have been added in an exciting, eye catching way. Unfortunately, this isn't a trend that's going to stay...the decor will be removed after the newest IKEA opening in Port Island. I wonder who assembled the furniture for the train...
