Loose Women presenter Stacey Solomon has been documenting the renovations she has been making to Pickle Cottage since she bought the house in 2021.

We’ve loved watching her revamp a room at a time, and she’s now shared the latest developments to fiancé Joe Swash’s man cave.

Joe’s cave is hilariously dubbed the "Cluedo room" thanks to its mahogany units, and Stacey has promised to give it an update in time for his 40th birthday at the end of the month.

The mum-of-four started the update by spray-painting the units dusty blue, which completely transformed the room, and now she’s gone one step further by creating a mini-bar.

Ever the creative one, Stacey made the whole thing herself and documented it on her Instagram Stories, to share her tips and tricks with her 4.2 million followers.

She explained step-by-step how she made the bar, starting with sawing a beam down from above the fireplace in their old house to hang glasses from.

Showing videos of her sawing she laughed, “This is why I didn’t finish the drinks area yesterday. "It took me two hours to saw a bit of this beam off because DIY Dave (AKA my dad) won't leave his power tools here because he doesn't trust me."

The TV favourite then explained: "So I screwed the beam inside one of the cupboards and screwed my glass holder I used to have in my old kitchen to the beam."

Stacey continued, “I bought one of these drink thingys and a mini fridge off Amazon. None of us drink and I don't trust our teenagers so they're filled with cordials. Joe's Juices. I'm going to try and engrave the beam or something."

We can't wait to see which room she starts working on next!
