Stacey Solomon admits she broke down in tears over greenhouse renovation but there’s a big decision she has to make
THE QUEEN of home DIY Stacey Solomon is back with her latest project – and this one brought her to tears.
Loose Women star Stacey, 34, showed how she had transformed her greenhouse from looking derelict to being a stylish outdoor space.
The impressive transformation was shared to her 5.9million followers on Instagram, and showed before and after her hard work.
Hailing it her “greenhouse glow up”, Stacey showed how she first cleared the floor and then scrubbed it clean using a bucket of water and a broom.
When the floor was gleaming, the mum-of-five then painted the outside rim black, and added a dark grey paint to the floor.
The finished result looked very chic and perfect for this summer.
She wrote: “Omg I’m so so happy with this.
“I cried. I legit cried. I love it so much.”
Stacey included her popular “tap to tidy” tag showing the before and after, and said it was her favourite “tap to tidy” to date.
However, the TV star said she still has work to do on the greenhouse.
She asked fans: “So now the question is should I paint the metal black?
“I want to but know it will kill me?”
The Loose Women star loves a good DIY project – and now Stacey has come to rescue to help Britons on her latest TV venture, Renovation Rescue.
The new series, which airs on Channel 4, follows the home interiors fanatic helping people who have encountered bad builders.
Whether it’s bricklaying or basic plumbing, Stacey has been getting stuck into the projects herself too and sharing tips she has picked up while renovating her £1.2million home, Pickle Cottage.

The former X Factor star, who’s married to Joe Swash, is mum to Zachary, 15, Leighton, 11, Rex, four, Rose, two and one-year-old Belle.
On the show, Stacey joked she is better at DIY than her husband, saying he is ”not handy at all”.
She chuckled: ”It’s probably best that we keep the DIY projects just to one person – that person being me.
”Because I’m much better at it than Joe.”
