Stacey Solomon has been sharing updates as she ticks renovation jobs off her to-do list at her new home.
And on Wednesday evening, the Loose Women presenter, 31, revealed that she completed a task in son Rex's playroom that has taken her a few days.
She spent the afternoon coating a corner of the room with special chalkboard paint so that the toddler - who she shares with fiance Joe Swash - is able to scribble to his heart's content.
The former X Factor sensation detailed all the stages of the tricky project as she framed the drawing zone and designated a special shelf for the chalkboard eraser and sticks of chalk - which was not straightforward due to an unexpected blunder.
Stacey explained on her Instagram Stories that the task was tricky due to the "watery and drippy" paint and then had to think fast after some of the grey paint bled, even though she applied masking tape in a bid to prevent the mishap.
In order to conceal the defective surface, she then decided to use some spare skirting board in order to frame the drawing space.
Filming the entire process, that saw her showcase her handy skills, the TV favourite shared: "So it took a few days but I’ve done it."
Telling how the paint took a while to dry, she added: "Even after some serious shaking and storing this paint is so watery and drippy. So I brushed it all on. 2 coats."
Listing out the steps, and how she was faced with an unexpected step, she then penned atop of a snap of the work: "Dries for 2 days, peeled off tape, it bleed a little so decided to use some leftover skirting for a boarder, glued it on."
Stacey then posted a clip of her hanging a corner shelf and wrote: "Added floating corner shelf, used pencil holder stickers to hold the chalk."
When she completed the project she posted an adorable video of Rex using the board and admitted that she was super proud of her work as she wrote atop of the upload: "I’m emotional again for no reason and he absolutely loves it!"
Stacey is one savvy shopper and over the weekend the mother-of-three proved that she knows how to bag a bargain as she showed off the results of her day of painting and told her fans how the supplies she used - including paint, tape and stickers - totted up to around £50.
Stacey has selected a black, white and grey theme for little boy Rex's bedroom which features cute animal details and star-shaped light fittings.
The creative personality revealed the results online alongside the prices of all the items she purchased to transform the room.
She shared a snap of the bedroom and listed that she bought the majority of the things she used from online retailer Amazon.
Sharing her tips and tricks, she uploaded a photo of Rex playing in the newly revamped space and typed: "Where is it from?
"Wall stickers Amazon on baby Ryro London Store £9.99 for a pack of 46 stickers
"Panda Shelf Amazon I paid £16.99 from a shop on their called Home Zone Store.
"Star lights Amazon again 0 they were 9.99 from a scope from called POHOVE and they called an infinity mirror tunnel light.
"Great paints light grey is @frenchie paint Al Fresco - City Slicker - beautiful colour and amazing coverage.
"Dark grey is some leftover black I had mixed with a bit of white."
As the Frenchie paint costs £15.45 it means that the grand total of the bedroom makeover was £52.42.
Earlier this year, Stacey and Joe managed to find their dream home and have now settled down in the property they've named Pickle Cottage.
As well as a stunning pool, the property also boasts its own hot tub but there is lots of work that needs to be done in order to create their perfect home.
Stacey has been busying sharing renovation updates with her followers and never fails to impress her loyal fans with her home hacks and crafty creations.
