A Wairoa resident has created a unique tiny home lifestyle, transforming her small section into a thriving food forest.

An old storage caravan on the property was given a vibrant makeover with a colourful mural by local artist Rebecca Stone. The artwork features native birds like pīwakawaka and provides a cheerful view.

The creative project was a runner-up in the Resene Shed of the Year competition, adding a bright, artistic touch to simple, sustainable living.
