Stacey Solomon is a constant source of stylish home interiors inspiration, especially as a much-loved TV star who loves to turn her hand to a spot of DIY.
But in a new Instagram video, the Loose Women panelist, 34, has shown off her latest home renovation project and it was not what fans were expecting.

"The kitchen is now black," Stacey penned. "I just went for it! It is the [expletive] it year after all. So here she is. Let me know what you think! Or don’t if you hate it."
© Instagram"I actually didn’t realise how much cosier and just all-round prettier painting it black would be," she continued. "I was worried it might be harsh and dark but it feels so much more homely and actually feels brighter! I loved the white but omg this is special! So glad I just went for it!".
© InstagramStacey lives in what has been dubbed 'Pickle Cottage', a traditional countryside bolthole surrounded by greenery in Essex which she shares with her EastEnders star husband Joe Swash, 42, and her five children - Zachary, 15, Leighton, 11, Rex, four, Rose, two, and one-year-old Belle. Stacey is also step-mum to Joe's 16-year-old son Harry.

© InstagramThough Stacey has been allowed free reign over decorating their gorgeous home, Joe has a corner of his own. The former Dancing on Ice star has a self-proclaimed 'Daddy Den' - a £3,700 games room.

A pop of colour was added into the home when Stacey renovated her downstairs bathroom herself, creating what she calls 'the blue loo'. The doting mum was seen in the completed space which features white wood panelling halfway up the wall that meets a pale blue paint to match the floral detailing on the sink and toilet.
