Stacey Solomon's thrifty DIY tricks as she revives Rex's wardrobes for under £100

Stacey Solomon has been on a DIY journey and her latest project had her sharing her tricks on how she transformed her sons' wardrobe.

The Loose Women panellist only used paint, stick-on tiles and panda bear doorknobs to completely change the piece of furniture.

She posted before and after snaps of the initially white wardrobe which came with old-school floral patterned curtains.

"I'm so proud of this little wardrobe. It's taken me a while but I'm so pleased with it..." she captioned the before post.

She added her classic 'tap to tidy' sticker before showing the transformation of the piece of furniture.

It has been painted grey all over and Stacey removed the curtains but she still needs to add the knobs.

"I need to cork the top and bottom still but I LOVE it so much," she added.

Posting a snap of the three items she used, Stacey said: "So all together it was around £92 to change them into something I love."

The paint was £19.99 for a tub, the sticker tiles were £16.99 for a pack of three and the panda doorknobs were £3.50 each.

Before working on the wardrobe, the star - who is engaged to Joe Swash - fixed the fireplace and removed the carpeting from the bedroom.

Earlier this week, as Rex was taking a nap, Stacey and Joe got to work with polishing the floorboards underneath the home's grimy carpet.

She got Joe to "pick up a rental sander" and put on some sanding gear and protective goggles before starting the renovation.

Stacey proceeded to sand the floor but had to use her sons' Playstation headset as she didn't have noise-cancelling headphones.

Stacey previously told fans that she decided that the theme of Rex's room will be black, white and grey and feature cute animal details and star-shaped light fittings.

She had revealed that most of the things for his room was bought from online retailer Amazon.
