Stacey Solomon's amazing transformation of secret room next to Pickle Cottage’s pool

Stacey Solomon has stunned fans with her amazing DIY transformation of her secret room in Pickle Cottage.

The Loose Women star bought her forever home for her and fiancé Joe Swash's family for £1.2million, located in the Essex countryside, and has been keeping fans updated with her renovations ever since.

The 32-year-old star shares her luxurious mansion with former EastEnders star Joe, her children Zachary and Leighton, and the two children she shares with the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Winner, Rex and Rose.

The DIY queen left followers in awe as she showed off the simple but impressive renovation she gave to a secret room that was next door to her refurbished swimming pool, as she whipped the paint brushes out while the kids were at school.

“The next project at Pickle Cottage is this. This is like a little kitchen thingy next to the plant room [next to the pool],” she wrote on her Instagram Stories.

“They must have used it as a kitchen by the pool but none of this stuff works anymore and I feel like I could store all the pool’s stuff here, like all the nets, so I'm going to try and jazz it up,” Stacey added.

The former X Factor star then took her fans through the “three stages of painting”, and joked that she was questioning her life choices halfway through the mammoth paint job.

“Coat one: when you question your whole life and think how is this ever going to work. Coat two: it's actually covering. Coat three: hallelujah,” she quipped.

"I think it would be a great space for all things pool (floats/towels/maintenance etc) so I'm going to try and make it better,” she said, as she got to work with the DIY project.

The presenter revealed the results of her busy afternoon, as the room was freshened up after Stacey painted the cupboards in a sage green colour, and managed to make the space look brand new.

“Honestly it never ceases to amaze me what paint can do…” she said, as she explained the hob in the kitchen doesn’t work, but she didn’t want to undertake another big job by ripping it out.
