A tour of Stacey Solomon’s family-friendly garden with a tent for the kids, astro lawn and fire pit for cosy date nights
OVER the past year Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash have been working tirelessly to transform their Essex family home into exactly the place they’d dreamed of.
And while mum-of-three Stacey, 30, gives us regular Insta updates from her spotless kitchen/living room and Rex’s adorable nursery, we’re now getting glimpses of their incredible garden too as the weather warms up.

When they first moved in, Stacey’s outside space consisted of old paving slabs and a tired looking lawn, but as the pair put their stamp onto the pad, their outside space also got a new lease of life.
As well as replacing their natural lawn with kid-friendly astroturf, they edged the garden with raised flower beds filled with pale stones, cute animal ornaments and trellis.
They also built a fire pit and cosy seating area for the adults.
While the kids - Zachary, 12, Leighton, seven, and 10-month-old Rex - have been enjoying the sunshine in their £115 teepee, back when she was pregnant with Rex, Stacey was seen relaxing in a paddling pool in the garden or watering some of her planted pots.

Her and Joe, 38, also enjoy ‘date nights’ outside too, tucking into delicious meals around the fire pit once all three kids are in bed. Bliss!
Like many of us around the country, Stacey and Joe are currently on lockdown with their three boys, due to the corona crisis.
But, known for coming up with her crafty tricks to keep the kids entertained, Stacey’s also been using her time at home to build things for the garden too, including transforming empty candle jars into a bird bath and feeder.
Is there anything this woman can’t do?!

If you follow Stacey on Instagram you'll have noticed her garden is often like her home - spotless.
Despite having three children under the age of 11, Stacey's family home is always pristine - and the star has been open about how cleaning helps keep her mind "occupied" when she's struggling with anxiety.
From dog food and bin bags to tea and coffee, mum-of-three has been taking home organisation notes from her best friend Mrs Hinch and stores everything in her pantry in glass jars which are then categorised using her sister's cursive sticky labels.
No doubt we'll get more glimpses of her amazing garden as the sun continues to shine.
