And she wasted no time in getting stuck in with her latest project, with she and fiancé Joe Swash moving into a huge £1.2 million home on Monday.

The mum-of-three had already shared some of her visions for the property with fans, including shake-ups in the bathrooms and across the acres of land.

And after getting the wheels into motion to fix up the property's outdoor swimming pool yesterday, she turned her attention to the gorgeous stain-glassed conservatory.

Stacey today revealed that she has already transformed the floor in the space - brightening up the entire look by replacing the brown tiles with airy wood-effect laminate.

She filmed a workman as he prepared the flooring yesterday, followed by a "therapeutic" clip of him laying the wooden tiles today - admitting she then took over the job.

Stacey shared: "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."

The star then posted the all-important before and after photos, with the new floor already transforming the entire feel of the conservatory.

She then ran through the rest of her plans for the room, pointing to the ceiling and telling fans: "Now all I've got to do is rip this off, I might even do that now.

"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 shocked fans with the surprise move earlier this month, having kept her family's plans under wrap in case it didn't go through.

Stacey Solomon reveals her grotty swimming pool ahead of epic transformation as she renovates £1.2m cottage

She has been excitedly sharing glimpses at the lavish property all week, but admitted that she was scared of looking as though she is "showing off";.

The Essex abode comes with 2.5 acres of land, including a large swimming pool and sweet Wendy house for her children to play in outdoors.

Stacey previously detailed that her new "forever home" is "further from the city and closer to their family" in Essex - and that it needs some "love and TLC", with the star known for her clever interior makeovers.

She, Joe, their baby son Rex, and Stacey's children Zachary, 11, and eight-year-old Leighton have plenty of space to make memories at the cottage that even has its own library.
