It may only be November, but Stacey Solomon has made no secret of the fact she is already getting into the festive spirit by decking out her Essex home with Christmas decorations.
The Loose Women star, 34, who shares her £1.2 million property 'Pickle Cottage' with husband Joe Swash and their five children, proved her penchant for DIY as she gave the sprawling two-and-a-half acre estate a healthy dose of Christmas magic on Sunday.
"Christmas up the doors with me," Stacey penned over a video shared to Instagram. Take a look at her home's seasonal glow up in the clip below…
Adorning her doorways with plush red ribbons, Stacey's four-year-old son Rex was on hand to help her complete her grotto-like décor as he passed her two gold bells which hung from the middle of the bow.
"I'm slowly but surely bringing Christmas into the house. One ribbon at a time," Stacey told her 6 million followers. "This was so easy and so cheap, just a roll of ribbon and some double-sided tape. But it's so effective I think."

The move proved seriously polarising amongst Stacey's fans, who couldn't agree on whether they loved or hated her creative project.

Others, however, were less impressed with the mother-of-five's vision. "This has to be an epic fail," penned a viewer in the comments. "That does look awful Stace, sorry." Another fan commented on how much waste the aerosol spray and plastic would have caused.
