In Monmouthshire in south Wales, Simon and his team are seeing double when they take on a 1980s bus conversion.\n\nStacey, or Stig to her friends, is a volunteer at the local recycling centre and gained her nickname due to her love of upcycling things other people had thrown away. When she came across a bus for sale, she knew it was the perfect vehicle to create a mobile B&B that she could take to festivals and campsites to rent out. But for Stig, it’s not just about creating a source of income; she wants to show others that her autism is no barrier to her creativity and ability to achieve her goals.\n\nA visit to a converted former mountain rescue truck called Big Red, now located in Chew Valley just outside Bristol, provides inspiration for the project. \n\nTop carpenter Ian Tsang creates an enormous bed upstairs, whilst Simon builds a bathroom with a view and a kitchen counter using leftover parquet. Designers Verity Coleman and Sophie Dunn stick to Stig’s mantra of recycle and reuse to create an interior that proves that one person’s rubbish really can be another’s treasure.
