Joanna Adamson took to TikTok to show off the epic DIY transformation.
She shared a clip with the caption ‘So much love for our caravan renovation 🖤🤍’ as she shared pictures of what the home on wheels looked like before the couple got to work.
She said: “When a new caravan was out of our budget, we bought a 2007 van and made it NEW!”
Joanna shared a clip of the tired, old caravan that was in desperate need of some TLC.

The couple gave the caravan an epic transformation and took it from old and plain to modern and chic.
To keep the costs low but add serious glamour to the old van, the couple used stick-on vinyl to transform the countertops and stick-on tiles for the kitchen.
Another way that the couple kept the costs down was by buying items from high-street stores including Ikea and ordering items online from Amazon.
The caravan has been decorated using white, grey and black and has gold accessories too.

Joanna explained that it took her and her partner about six months to do the transformation.
In another video, Joanna went into detail about the cost of the transformation.
She explained: “A rough estimate of how much our renovation cost us.
“We didn't keep full track on all spending (I wouldn't recommend doing that) but this is the cost of all the big bits!
“A rough estimate would be no more than £1500!”
She explained that primer, paint and decorating accessories cost £250, new door handles were £40 and stick-on tiles were £50.
They spent £150 on wood and velcro for panelling and £270 for material and accessories for upholstery.
