  • The Beer Moth
    The Beer Moth in Scotland is the king of all adaptive re-use projects. Walter from the <a href="http://www.inshriachhouse.com/">Inshriach House</a> (half an hour's drive outside of Inverness airport) salvaged this spunky 1956 Conmer Q4 fire truck from the Manston Fire Museum in Kent, made it roadworthy again, and then transformed it into one of the most unique hotel rooms we've ever seen. It features a Victorian double bed, salvaged oak parquet flooring taken from a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tudor_Revival_architecture">Tudor mansion</a>, and get this: the darn thing even has a fireplace!
