Stacey Solomon unveils Pickle Cottage's latest makeover after stunning refurbishment

Stacey Solomon has proved her DIY expertises once again, as she revealed the latest transformation to her stunning Essex home.

The pregnant star, who lovingly dubs her luxury mansion 'Pickle Cottage', took to social media on Sunday to give her followers a glimpse at the progress of her latest home renovation project.

Posting to her Instagram Stories, the 31-year-old gave her fans a sneak peek of her newly refurbished walk in wardrobe.

Beginning the journey of how she left the previously neglected room, the mum-of-three then shared footage of how the future dressing room is looking now.

"Aw I'm so excited, I can't believe it," Stacey captioned a clip of the current state of the room, now compete with white built in furniture and mirrored wardrobes.

"They were so quick and they're so pretty," she continued.

"Joe's finishing the painting and then I'm going to accessorise."

The bargain-loving star then went on to share a sheep-skin chair that she'd snapped up for a reduced price.

Telling her loyal followers that she'd had her eye on a white fur chair for a while, the Loose Women presenter then revealed she managed to bag one for just £89 in Homebase - a fraction of the price of the versions she'd been looking at that cost £300 and more.

Though work in her dressing room is still to be completed, Stacey couldn't resist having a play around with her new soft furnishings and finishing touches.

"Still waiting for carpet and light and bits but I couldn't resist," she told her 4.6 million followers as she played around with her accessories.

Showcasing a stunning mirror, feathered flowers and other trinkets, the former X Factor star certainly has an eye for interiors.

Stacey and fiancé Joe Swash purchased Pickle Cottage back in March 2021, just months after the former Eastenders actor popped the question.

Since then, the star's Instagram followers have enjoyed her updates and stories as she shares progress of her renovations to the £1.2 million Essex pad.

Earlier this week, Stacey made a rare return to her Twitter account as she addressed the rumours that Nick Knowles' new show is a copy of her popular organisational series, Sort Your Life Out.

The former DIY SOS presenter is set to host a new show on Channel 5, entitled Big House Clear Out, and some fans were quick to notice the similarities it shares with Stacey's hit show.

Taking to Twitter, Nick responded to a fan who pointed out that his new programme seems rather familiar.

Acknowledging that both her and Stacey cover a "very similar subject matter", the DIY star urged people to tune in to see the differences in the two shows.

While Stacey normally favours Instagram over Twitter, the DIY enthusiasts made a brief appearance on the micro-blogging site - telling Nick: "I can't wait to watch it" followed by four love heart emojis.
