Stacey Solomon promised to take her fans along as she renovates and decorates her new family home.
And on Sunday evening the presenter, 36, started the tour of the house on the top floor after revealing she would not be showing the outside of the house due to ‘privacy concerns’.
Via Instagram, Stacey, with the help of her daughters Rose, four, and Belle, three, revealed the top floor of the house, which is only accessible via a ladder.
The star then showed fans the spacious bedrooms which are all painted yellow and feature fireplaces that would have been used to store coal.
The upstairs also had a bathroom decorated with orange tiles, with Stacey exclaiming: ‘I love the orange bath!’
Yet Stacey and her family were also thrilled to discover that the previous tenants had left a lot of quirky items in the storage unit.
While going on a scavenger hunt with her children, she discovered a vintage tennis racket, an old film camera, a riding hat and a set of dominoes.

Upstairs, a bathroom was decorated in orange tiles, with Stacey exclaiming, “I love the orange bath!”
Taking fans on the tour, she began, “We start at the top and work our way down. We have to use the ladder at the moment.
‘So there are a few bedrooms here. This one, this little bedroom, they all have little fireplaces. They are not real fireplaces. That’s where the coal used to go.
‘This is a bathroom. And why do I love the orange bath stuff? Don’t know. I’m going to do something with that.’
She continued, “There is a TV in this room from my childhood. They left quite a bit of stuff behind… so we went through the boxes. I don’t think they’ve ever been here. I think it was only used for storage. So we went on a treasure hunt.’
When her father discovered the movie projector, she joked, “Stacey thinks this is a gun.”
‘I thought, “Oh my God, is there a gun in here?” Stacey teased. “Dave got really excited because it’s an old camera, and it still works.”
She captioned the vlog: “Come with us… starting from the top and working your way down. Here we are exploring and finding some of the treasures left behind by the last humans.
‘I need your opinion. Is that orange bathroom furniture nice? Because I love it and can anyone tell me what these dominoes are made of?
‘And whether I should keep that TV from the 80s, because it really makes me so happy and nostalgic when I watch it.’
On Saturday, Stacey admitted it feels ‘strange’ to wake up in a new home after revealing the family have moved out of their £1.3million Pickle Cottage.
And after many loved-up years at Pickle Cottage, Stacey shared a second glimpse of their new home on Saturday, but explained that she won’t be showing the outside of it for privacy reasons.
Stacey posted a photo of her daughter Rose in a bare living room with an ornate, white-painted fireplace on her Instagram Story on Saturday morning.
She wrote: ‘Happy Saturday. It feels so strange not to wake up in Pickle Cottage, but so excited to take it all in and wonder what to do with this place.”

The fireplace featured black and white marble, while the white-painted wallpaper suggested the couple’s new home is a lot grander than their previous cottage.
Giving fans an update, she wrote: ‘I can’t wait to have a few days off and show you all…. I’m not going to show the outside of the house this time.
‘Just for security and privacy reasons… we ended up having some issues at Pickle Cottage and it’s safer to just not show the building itself.’
She continued, “I’m so excited to take you into the rooms and get inspiration from all of you though. There is so much to think about and so many fun things to do. I need help with this project because it is huge. I need all your tips, tricks and ideas!
‘I’m really going to take my time living here and figuring out what to do with each room because I don’t want to rush it!
“But I can’t tell you how excited I am to sink my teeth into this project with you.”
On Friday, the TV host, 36, and her husband Joe Swash, 44, took to Instagram to share a photo of the family in front of their new door as they captioned the post: ‘Home is wherever I am with you… Pickle Project, Here We Go.’
Stacey and Joe revealed they had decided to leave their beloved home after falling in love with the new property, which is surrounded by acres of land.
Stacey told her followers that her chickens, ducks and beehive had all successfully traveled to their new home.
The Loose Women presenter said she has plans to create a huge vegetable garden and save more animals.
It was previously revealed in June that the couple had fallen in love with the eight-bedroom Victorian mansion.
The property comes with a swimming pool, extensive gardens and enough bedrooms for all their children.

On Saturday, Stacey admitted it feels ‘strange’ to wake up in a new home after revealing the family have moved out of their £1.3million Pickle Cottage.
They are the proud parents of Rex, seven, Rose, four, and Belle, three. Stacey is also mum to sons Zachary, 18, and Leighton, 14, while Joe is dad to son Harry, 19, from a previous relationship.
Joe said the property will be a huge renovation project for the queen of DIY.
“We’re leaving soon and moving out of Pickle Cottage, which I never thought I’d say,” she explained in an emotional video on Instagram.
Stacey revealed why they kept this move under wraps: ‘Leaving Pickle Cottage was a huge decision for us, we had a lot of people to talk to, we had to get the kids into the idea and talk to all our friends and neighbors in the area.
“We just waited for someone wonderful to come along and fall in love with the cottage.”
She continued: ‘Pickle Cottage is our dream home, as soon as we moved here we fell in love with it and I still love it so much. It is truly a special place for us. I gave birth to both girls there, we got married there, it’s just so special to us.
“But for a while now we’ve always wanted to save more animals and grow more vegetables, so we always thought that if there was ever an opportunity to get some more land, we would consider it.
‘We saw something somewhere and I thought: we could have a huge vegetable garden and offer our land to animals that need it, and things like that. We were able to bring the horses there, the ponies, and we went to look at them and we fell in love.
‘It wasn’t an easy decision, we’ve built our life together in Pickle Cottage, but now we’ve found a place where we can see our family grow and really thrive, and this is the place.
“So it’s time to say goodbye to Pickle Cottage, which feels so strange, and move on to our new chapter.
“It’s a project, we’re going somewhere completely different and it needs a lot of love and I’m excited to do it all again.”
