Yet the craft queen mum of five has been busy transforming their laundry room from a green-walled room to a hot pink haven.
Aside from the original wooden beams on the white ceilings and tiled walls, Stacey has opted for the cheery colour scheme on the cabinets, storage cupboards and even cherry blossom accessories.
Her daughters Belle and Rose looked elated as they sat playing on the floor with their toys.
In her caption she wrote: “Goodbye January the month that the utility room basically became the girls room.
“Took this this evening and loved it so thought I’d put it on here along with some of my favourite pictures of the utility.
“Doing this thing where I just post what makes me happy and I’m really enjoying it.”
Many fans were supportive with one who posted: “Aww, gorgeous captures Stacey, love the pink!”
Another put: “Truly believe, that the laundry is an easier task when the area you have to work in brings you joy LOVE this xxx”
A third added: “This has confirmed I definitely need a pink kitchen.”
Yet one flagged her other half and put: “Green would have been better for use of the room. Poor Joe’s in Barbie World.
Eagle-eyed Stacey, quick to spot the comment, replied: “How often do you think Joe puts a load on!
“Plus what makes you think pink isn’t he favourite colour too.”
Stacey Solomon has been a familiar face on viewers' screens for over a decade. Let's take a look back at her career.
The X Factor (2009): Stacey competed in series six of long-running ITV singing competition The X Factor. During her time in the show, she was mentored by Danni Minogue in the ‘Girls’ category. The star finished in third place, behind Joe McElderry and Olly Murs.
I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here (2010); In late 2010, Stacey headed to the infamous I’m A Celeb Aussie jungle. After 21 days, she triumphed to win the tenth series. It was through I’m A Celeb that she met future husband Joe Swash – who’d won two years earlier and was hosting the ITV2 spinoff.
Celebrity Juice (2011―2013, 2016―2019): The star appeared as a panellist on 21 episodes of the comedy panel game show hosted by Keith Lemon. Stacey was a regular in the 21st series, broadcast in 2019.
Loose Women (2016 – present): Stacey has been a permanent panel member of the daytime show since 2016. She previously made guest appearances in 2011 and 2012.
Sort Your Life Out (2022 -present): This BBC show sees Stacey, with the help of an expert team, transform participants’ living spaces after removing clutter.
Last month, The Sun exclusively reported how Stacey has applied to trademark Pickle Cottage so she can flog a range of her home merchandise.
The application to the Intellectual Property Official also falls under the classification for toys and books, meaning she can sell ‘Pickle Cottage’ branded goods for children too.
If granted it will mean Stacey, who is already a multi-millionaire, can boost her bank balance even more by using the name of her family home.
Stacey and Joe moved into their mock-Tudor Essex property in 2021.

IS one of your goals for 2025 to grow longer and healthier locks – but you don’t want to fork out a fortune on professional haircare?
Now one hairdresser and TikToker Lanni has revealed a purse-friendly shampoo and conditioner combo which she claims is as good as posh salon range.

tiktok/@lanni_xBargain-mad beauty buffs can snap up this shampoo and conditioner for less than a fiver each[/caption]
Raving about the bargain deals, the dark-haired beauty took to her social media page to show off the affordable Marks & Spencer goodies.
0ne of them was M&S Volumising Shampoo which, the brand claims, ”enhances fine hair for a fuller, bountiful appearance with every wash”.
Specially formulated to lift from the roots without weighing down your locks, this sulphate and silicone-free shampoo features micro algae extract to rebalance the scalp and pink grapefruit extract with jojoba oil for weightless hydration.
Setting you back just £3 for a 300ml bottle, the haircare essential is also enhanced with the scents of orchid and waterlily for a fresh, vibrant finish.
Also going for under a fiver is the mega supermarket’s Nourishing Conditioner, which ensures silky, manageable locks with every use.
Blended with hydrating ingredients, it restores moisture and vibrancy to each strand, keeping hair healthy and lustrous.
Infused with micro algae extract to rebalance the scalp, plus bergamot water and coconut oil for added moisture.
What’s more, the budget-friendly conditioner is also sulphate and silicone-free and boasts a vegan formula.
Despite being used to spending a fortune on maintaining her enviable tresses, Lanni said she was ”impressed” by the difference the cheap shampoo and conditioner made.
”Picked these up in M&S. I normally spend so much money on my shampoo and conditioner, like a professional salon one.
”But these – honestly, just as good as my £60 ones,” said the hairdresser who rated the bargain buys with an impressive ”10/10”.
Urging fellow beauty buffs to not sleep on the £3 bargains, Lanni went on in the caption: ”My hair feels so lightweight and moisturised and every time I turn my head I can smell the most gorgeous smell.”
She said in the video: ”Girls, you have to try the new M&S haircare range – WOW!
”Just as good as, if not better, than my salon-quality ones.
”The best £3 you’ll ever spend on your hair.”
How often should you be washing your hair?
Anabel Kingsley, Consultant Trichologist and Brand President at Philip Kingsley spoke exclusively to Fabulous.
You take your hair and scalp to the same places you take your face, and it gets just as dirty.
Your scalp is also a living tissue; it sweats, produces oils and sheds skin cells.
You wouldn’t leave two days between washing your face, and you likely wouldn’t wear the same outfit more than a few times before washing it – apply the same thinking to your hair.
It is a myth that washing your hair too often causes your hair to get greasier.
‘I’ll be trying these’
Dozens of TikTok users flooded to comments where many thanked the hair pro for sharing the epic buys.
”Thank you for this! I’ve been looking for alternatives for sulphate free shampoo and conditioner- I’ll be trying these,” wrote one person.
Someone else chimed in: ”I use these, only bad thing is the bottles are really hard to squeeze it out.”
”I will definitely try these I spend so much on shampoo etc,” another said.

BRIAN LACEY has called for the duration of inter-county football matches to be cut from 70 to 60 minutes.
The former Kildare and Tipperary star also fears that weaker counties will suffer amid the increased demands on players by the game’s new rules.
Donegal manager Jim McGuinnes suggested teams should be allowed make six substitutionsStephen McCarthy/SportsfileBrian Lacey believes games should be shortenedPiaras Ó Mídheach/Sportsfile
Speaking after his side’s National League win over Dublin on Saturday, Donegal boss Jim McGuinness proposed that teams be able to make six substitutions instead of five with the game now more taxing following the introduction of the new rules.
Lacey served as coach and performance analyst when his native Tipp reached the All-Ireland semi-finals in 2016.
He was also part of Glenn Ryan’s backroom team in Kildare for the past three seasons.
But he said: “My one concern about the work surrounds the weaker counties.
“I think the stronger counties will get stronger on the back of these rules and, look, I’m happy enough for these rules to be implemented.
“But one thing I’m very strong about is to bring the inter-county game back from 70 minutes to 60.
“If you look at the Railway Cup games last October and you chat to guys on GPS monitoring, the number of kilometres covered, the amount of time the ball was in play, and the high-intensity running over 60 minutes was already equivalent to 70 minutes of the old rules.
“Factor in more speed and explosiveness of runs with the tap and go, and more time on the field because of stoppages and you can now be around 85 minutes on the field.”
During his playing career, Tipp man Lacey claimed two Leinster SFC medals following his move to Kildare.
He later returned to the Premier County set-up and was a member of the side that won the Tommy Murphy Cup in 2005.
He told RTÉ: “You’re going to need a strong panel with great depth, because not only will you need to rotate from game to game, you’ll also need to rotate within matches.
“And it’s going to be so hard for the lower-tier counties to try and keep pace with stronger teams in this regard.
“At least the counties would have a chance playing in 60-minute games — it would be more even.
“I feel that weaker counties will be badly affected, especially with the nature of running now involved and with having to get ready to do it all again the next week.”
