I gave my static caravan the ultimate budget but chic makeover with buys from B&M and The Range – people are gobsmacked
A WOMAN has revealed that she nabbed a caravan on the cheap and has given it the ultimate makeover, whilst on a budget.
Natasha, a nail technician, explained that she bought her dusty old caravan for just £400 and has now turned it into a stunning nail studio.
The beauty pro, from Leeds, explained how she impulsively bought the caravan on Facebook and spent two months, alongside her uncle, giving the tired caravan a transformation, into a beautiful, cosy nail studio.
Natasha transformed the space from drab to fab – with on-trend grey flooring, beige decor and panel detail.
Posting on social media, Natasha shared a video in response to a question that read: “Can I be really nosy and ask how much this cost in total? I’d love to do this.”
In response, Natasha revealed a detailed breakdown of the cost of her caravan’s renovations.
She explained: “I finally got round to doing a breakdown of how much everything cost me.
“It could’ve been cheaper, it could’ve been more expensive, but this is just how I did it.”
Natasha then explained that the caravan cost her £400, she had to pay £40 for the caravan to be stored for a week, it cost £50 to tow the caravan and then she paid £280 to turn her fence into a gate, as she added: “I did have to turn my fence into a gate so I could get it into the back garden.”
Natasha then revealed that she spent £445 in B&Q, on panelling, paints, tools, fillers and electrics, as she added: “I grouped together my B&Q amount – I went loads of times but this is what my receipts all added up to.
“We had to buy a lot of tools from scratch because we didn’t have many in the house.
“Also added to the B&Q costs is all the electrical stuff.”
She then explained that when it came to kitchen items, she nabbed a counter top for £40, a sink for £30 and a tap for £35, as she continued: “All of the kitchen area things were from Facebook Marketplace.
“I paid a kitchen fitter £80 for it to be fitted in for me because it needed to be done properly.
“Everything else is how I got it to look and making it a functional workplace for myself.”
Natasha explained that she nabbed her sofa from Homesense for £180, cushions for £30, loads of decor bits from Ikea for £270, a huge haul of items from B&M and The Range for £90, curtains for £32 and a fridge for £119.
The savvy beauty pro explained that in total, including the cost of her caravan, she spent £2,579, as she explained: “I was still working full-time to pay everything off as it was going.”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ny_nyashaa, has clearly left many impressed, as it has quickly amassed 71,500 views.
Social media users were stunned at the caravan’s makeover and were eager to express this in the comments.
One person said: “Absolutely stunning. Great idea, great vision.”
Another added: “This is fabulous, wishing you all the success you deserve.”
A third commented: “This is incredible, I don’t know you but I’m so proud.”
Whilst someone else wrote: “If I was you I’d take up renovating caravans and selling them. You’ve done an excellent job.”
Meanwhile, another penned: “Well done, that is absolutely beautiful!”
