Stacey Solomon unveils finished dressing room complete with 'impractical' carpet

Stacey Solomon is pulling out all the stops at Pickle Cottage before her new baby arrives - but is now questioning her choice of carpet.

The mum-of-three has been renovating the Essex pile she shares with fiance Joe Swash and three sons and treating fans to regular updates.

In her latest reveal Stacey, proudly showed off her pride and joy - a crisp white dressing room where she will start each day.

The Loose Women star, 31, was delighted with the very chic finished look but had to admit she hadn't made the most practical choices with with the decor.

Stacey said her boudoir is the only room in the house that she will allow carpet in - given her expanding family - and so she wanted to treat herself to something lavish.

"The dressing room carpet is in. It's the only piece of carpet we will ever have in a house with 4 kids, 2 dogs and a cat.

"So I went with the most unmanageable/impractical fluffy cream carpet I could," she joked.

In her story Stacey showed a before and after pic of the dressing room, which now looks stunning with an elegant white dressing table.

She also told fans she'd got the vac out saying: "I know you'll be proud of my hoover lines."

Stacey and Joe bought the gorgeous cottage in March this year and have painstakingly reformed it to a palace fit for a princess.

The couple's first daughter, who is due any day now will no doubt want for nothing in her new home, which comes complete with a picture-perfect nursery.

Stacey has added her signature heartfelt touches to her daughter's beautiful pink room, which comes complete a plush velvet chair.

There is also a changing mat covered in a floral fabric and baskets filled with baby goodies nearby.

Ex- EastEnders star Joe has said his and Stacey 's family will be complete when their baby daughter is born.

Actor Joe, 39, told how he was in tears when he found out the couple were having a girl to join the four sons they share them.

The presenter said: "When we found out we was having a girl I did feel slightly emotional, I did tear up and so did Stacey. Just because we're complete now, you know. We've got our four boys and a little girl coming. What a lovely unit."

Joe and Stacey, 31, announced earlier this year they were expecting a baby to join Harry, 14, Zachary, 13, Leighton, nine and Rex, two and will soon have a daughter together.

The father of two has been told by friends that he'll feel extra protective of his new baby.

He told the Sun: "I love all my kids exactly the same, but all my friends that have girls say to me as soon as you have a girl you get this weird urge to protect her, so I think it will be slightly different."

Joe's fiancée Stacey will be going on maternity leave in the next few weeks and the couple are trying to complete the house renovations on their new £1.2 million home Pickle Cottage before their bundle of joy arrives.
