Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash moved into their £1.2 million cottage last week and have begun to make the cottage into their ‘dream home’.
Despite only just moving in, over the weekend Stacey has been busy as work transforming the house to her liking.
The 31-year-old has taken to her Instagram Stories to show her eager followers her DIY updates and has begun with the conservatory.
She showed her 4.2 million followers the new flooring being set out, replacing the outdated ceramic tiles.
She outlined the process of laying down the base with professional help before getting down on her hands and knees herself to aid in covering the floor with trendy wood-like panels in a herringbone pattern.

The Loose Women panellist told her fans: “I found it soooo therapeutic to watch, then I just wanted to have a go – so I did!”
She added: “I got a bit carried away and didn’t want to stop, hopefully I didn’t ruin it.”
She shared her delight at the result, writing: “Aw I just love it guys. It’s so much prettier up close too and it has lots of different textures and colours. It’s not real wood it’s much cheaper than wood but more durable with kids.”

Revealing her plans for the rest of the space she said: “I want to put some kind of seating around the edges but very thin, with some storage.
“And then I’m going to get some windows that have wood instead of the black metal so it looks French. Oh my god, I love it!”
Stacey and fiancé Joe moved into the new house with their three sons, Zachary, 11, Leighton, eight, and Rex, one.

Stacey posted on Instagram to commemorate the exciting move, penning: “Home Sweet Home. And so a new chapter begins. We can not even describe how strange it feels that this is home.
“Never in a million years did we ever think this would be. We feel so lucky and are so grateful to have found this hidden treasure closer to our family and further out.
