A new fridge, fresh paint, rattan features and new handles used to give this old caravan a makeover.
The project
This little York caravan has been so much fun to renovate. I built new benchtops, new cupboards and doors that were completely chipping.
I added new latches to stop the doors from opening. I painted all the walls and ceilings as well as having to pull out the panels in one of the walls that had a bit of water damage.
I made new curtains that were neutral and easy to pull up.
I also had to buy a small fridge as the two-way fridge was broken.
Dulux Tranquil Green was used to paint the cabinets and I put in rattan and spray painted the door handles.
I also spray painted the rangehood in black.
