A WOMAN has revealed how she transformed a grubby caravan into her dream pink and rose gold hideout. The woman, who goes by Sugar and Pearls online, showed off the impressive transformation and people were stunned. In one clip, the UK-based woman showed off what the caravan looked like when she first bought it for the cheap price of £500.
But a look around the caravan showed why she got such a good deal. The exterior of the home on wheels was covered in dirt and the white hardware had turned green thanks to being left for so long. Inside was not much better, the caravan appeared to have never been updated with cheap wooden cupboards and filthy blue and grey sofa cushions.

She applied some pink brick stick-on tiles from Temu to the door of the caravan along with a 'love you, bye' sign.

She had painted over the outdated wooden cupboards - using a light creamy pink colour and replaced the handles with rose gold hardware.
She also updated the kitchen with vinyl sheets in a pink marble design. The seating area was also given a spruce up, replacing the old-fashioned cushions with light pink ones and adding a brighter pink blanket on top. For that finishing touch, she added white curtains to the windows decorated with pink fabric she hung around the area.
The incredible transformation went viral on her TikTok account @ sugarandpearlcaravans with over 558k views and 46k likes.
