Stacey Solomon’s pride as she shows off jaw-dropping toilet transformation as makeovers get underway at new home
STACEY Solomon shared her pride as she showed off her jaw-dropping toilet transformation as makeovers at her new home get underway.
The 31-year-old star moved into the £1.2 million mansion at the end of last month, and couldn’t wait to put her crafty skills to work.
Taking to her Instagram Story today, the DIY goddess revealed that the first room’s makeover was finally complete – starting small with the downstairs toilet.
She couldn’t hide her excitement as she updated fans that the flooring was finally down, which meant that there were just some finishing touches left to do.
Stacey gushed: “The flooring in the toilet is down… I’m going to hang a couple of bits in there and then I might put on a blue outfit to take a picture in there.
“I know, I’m such a loser, but I’m so proud of it and I really can’t wait to show you.”
She added: “It’s not anything amazing, so don’t get excited – I’m just really proud.”
The space originally had bright red flooring and plain white walls, with the mother-of-three posting a video of the “before” as she explained: “Knowing that this is how it started, I’m so proud of how far it’s come.”
The nautical-themed new loo has seen the red floor get replaced with chic grey wood, and white wooden slates border the walls.
She has painted the rest of the walls a stunning sea-blue – as well as the window sills.
True to form, Stacey added some DIY flowers and accessories, as well as framed floral displays for the wall.
The huge window allows stunning natural light to pour into the space.
She then posted a photo of herself sitting beside the transformed toilet with her thumbs up, dressed in blue just like she promised.
Stacey captioned the post: “ Blue Loo I finally did it. It’s far from perfect and I still have some filling, corking and re painting & a sink pipe to put back on but I just love it
“I thought I’d start in here one because it was this least overwhelming but mostly because the toilet is my favourite place to hide in I know this is such a geeky picture but I’m so proud of it…

“My dad helped me with some cutting and the taps but other than that I have worked so hard on this little toilet and I can’t wait to pretend to do really long poos in here just to get some me time ”
She added: “I hope you’re all ok tonight. Love you all P.S Joe had to try and take this picture and it’s the most awkward space and he was not impressed by how long it took ”
Stacey has also made a start on renovating many other rooms in the huge home – including their conservatory, and her oldest sons’ bedrooms.
She has also set to work on the outdoor pool, with the Essex property sitting on 2.5 acres of land.
