A Wairoa resident has creatively enhanced her tiny home lifestyle by transforming an old caravan with a vibrant mural from local artist Rebecca Stone. The caravan provides a cheerful view and is situated within a lush food forest cultivated by the owner on her small section.

The colourful artwork features native birds like pīwakawaka and tūī. This unique project was a runner-up in NZ Gardener’s Resene Shed of the Year competition, offering inspiration for adding personality to small spaces.
