Home Decorators Ambush F Train

Interior decorators hijacked an F train yesterday morning, transforming Car 5929 into a cozy living room with curtains, flowers, throw pillows and rugs.

The four artists behind this guerrilla installation, dubbed "No Train Like Home," boarded the F in Coney Island at 7:38 a.m. carrying brown paper shopping bags filled with decorations and lots of double-sided tape.

As soon as the doors closed, the foursome started covering up every ad in the car with Andy Warhol prints and images of bookshelves.

Carol Tessitore stepped over a homeless man sleeping in the corner and hung garlands overhead. He slept through the entire installation.

off to gitmo with them!

People need natural light and all that jazz. One day I think we'll see NYC put up some type of above ground electric elevated system.

and i would have loved my crappy orange line car to look like that.

Hail Eris! :)

"It may be beautiful, but that's not the issue. They are obstructing the subway."

That's what people said when graffiti art started gracing the walls of those dilapidated rattletrap boxes back in the late 1970s. "If this is art, then to hell with art," said a guy on one of the cleanup crews that had to strip it off.

Andy Warhol would have loved this guerilla art. "Gee. Why didn't I think of that?" he might have said.
