THREE friends worked together over the pandemic to give an old static caravan a huge makeover.
Anna Hart, Emma Jane Palin, and Whinnie Williams, bought the pre-loved holiday home for £24,000 in October 2020.
Together, they worked hard to transform the shabby caravan into a stunning holiday hideaway in Margate , splashing out £12,000 on the works.
They went to Hull and bought a run-down beige caravan, ready to be revamped.
Emma said: “ Renovating our preloved Willerby BK Bluebird was the perfect lockdown project.”;
“We wanted to find an unloved, older model and show people how this humble caravan can be thoughtfully transformed into a glamorous holiday home .”;
Every detail of their renovation was thought through, with the women finding inspiration from a number of places.
Whinnie said: “We’ve upcycled as much as possible, sourcing vintage fabrics from our favourite junk stores around Margate , scouring eBay and Facebook marketplace, and we even found our brass kitchen sink in a skip.”;
“We’ve tried to DIY things as much as possible to show people that anyone can bring Hollywood vibes into even the smallest of spaces.”;
The open plan living room and kitchen has been stripped of it’s beige furnishings and been transformed by patterned tiles and chequerboard flooring.
Each of the bedrooms was inspired by a slice of American culture with one paying tribute to Elvis Presley’s Graceland.
There’s also an 8-seater sofa, a kitchen island, an upcycled table, a bathroom and a cloakroom toilet.
The friends have dubbed it: “ Pontins meets Palm Springs.”;
Situated at Birchington Vale Holiday Park, the caravan can host 6 people at any given time.
It’s a 10-minute drive from Margate, and a stone’s throw from other attractions such as Alpaca Trekking , pony pamper sessions, an adventure golf course, and a Spitfire and Hurricane Memorial museum.
One night stays start from £140 per night, while other caravans on the site charge £62 per night.
While it’s closed for the remainder of the winter, it’ll be opening its doors again on March 1, 2023, and guests can book to stay via Airbnb .
