Paul O’Leary, owner of deVOL Kitchens, took an ugly old 40ft trailer carcass and transformed it into a beautiful cabin that sits right by the river Soar at deVOL’s Cotes Mill showrooms. Paul documented the whole journey in pictures and in writing, from the bare bones of the old curtain sider truck, right up to the beautifully finished little cabin complete with a mini deVOL Kitchen, a pristine little bathroom, large wooden deck and even an Esse wood burning stove. It really is an amazing transformation…
Paul posted this incredible journey on the deVOL blog; he talks about why he took this project on, his ideas and inspiration, the problems he came across and how he solved them, how much the whole thing cost and lots more.

And deVOL’s creative director, Helen Parker, has written a great blog about styling this small space to create the perfect little retreat: www.devolkitchens.co.uk/blog/2015/05/26/out-of-africa-down-at-the-cabin/
