This was a shell of a caravan rescued from a skip at our local car boot sale - it was plain varnised wood with no wheels and a broken shaft and completely empty inside when we found it (sorry I have no pics of "before" as it was a while ago now )- Mum thought I was barking mad but I could see the potential - so I brought it home.

Here it is now after we spent many hours working on it. It has been mended - new wheels, stripped of all the varnish and painted with new trims and a new shaft and ladder - then it has been completely fitted out inside with cupboards - seats table etc - it is lit by a battery box hidden underneath as I didn't want wires showing

The inside is accessed by lifting the top off - and some of the furniture can be seen - the top cupboards etc are attahced to the inside of the top -

I have tried to take some pics through the front door when the top is back on for you to see - but bear with me as they are not very good - it was hard to get the camera in !

Thanks Marie dollchitchat/Love-Bear.gif Glad you and your hubby like it - Loads of men make miniatures and dollshouses - perhaps he should start a new hobby (unless of course he already does them) - thanks for looking

I didn't want to click on this as I've long wanted a gypsy caravan so much and knew I'd be green with envy dollchitchat/smilie_tischkante.gif

however couldn't resist taking a peek biggrin.gif

dollchitchat/wowwee.png It's lovely, such a shame you don't have before pics but I can imagine and your attention to detail is fantastic - well done indeed dollchitchat/Love-Bear.gif
