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.
