I bought an old caravan & gave it a glow up using bargain buys from Ikea and B&M – now I live in it off grid & rent free | The Sun

A DIY whizz has been flooded with praise after revealing how she transformed an old caravan into a "stunning" tiny home.

Lucy, who is a dog walker, often shows glimpses of her off grid lifestyle on social media, where she's been working on transforming a dated caravan into a modern paradise which she now calls home.

In a clip posted to TikTok (@harringtonshounds), she can be seen showing off the living room area before the makeover – and it features dark oak cabinets, a floral sofa and stained beige carpet.

But thanks to Lucy's impressive handiwork, it's fair to say it looks almost unrecognisable – thanks to its trendy new grey floor, coordinating sofa and newly painted white cabinets – not to mention a wooden panel feature wall behind the TV.

However, while the statement wall looks like its been clad with wood panels, Lucy reveals: "It’s stick on flooring."

The DIY guru, who gets her day-to-day electricity from solar panels, also shared a clip revealing her super stylish bedroom transformation.
