As the UK heatwave finally set in, the Sort Your Life Out star, 34, took to Instagram to show off the luxurious space after preparing it for the summer sunshine. Stacey lives at her charming Essex residence, affectionately known as Pickle Cottage, with husband Joe Swash, their three children, Rex, four Rose, two and Belle, one, along with her two sons, Zachary, 15 and Leighton, 11, who she welcomed from a previous relationship. Ensuring the garden was all set up for the kids to enjoy, the proud mum-of-five took to Instagram on Sunday, 23 June to show off the stylish outdoor space.

Taking to her Instagram story, Stacey revealed that she dedicated “all week” to sprucing up her garden, which now boasts chic lounge chairs and a table, all set for the kids’ “first pool day of 2024.” She also showed off the huge pool, which could easily be compared to a tropical paradise abroad as it glistened in the sunshine, surrounded by leafy trees for privacy. Large rattan egg chairs and chic sun loungers sat around the pool, providing the perfect spot to catch some sun rays, while a white gazebo provided some extra shade in the sizzling heat. Delighted with the space, Stacey excitedly posted: “Sooooo happy I spent all week cleaning out here because it’s FINALLY hot! Hello Summer.”

She went on to give a tour of her incredible pool house, which she revealed had been years in the making. Giving fans their first look at the space, she said: “This took us three years to get to this point. It’s mostly micro cement & arches because I have an unhealthy obsession with them. I learned to micro cement from @relentlessmicrocement & Agi taught me to build arches. BEST diy skills I’ve ever learned!” The pool house is home the family’s Igneus Bambino Wood Fired Pizza Oven, which Stacey said had been her dream since she was little. “I’ve always wanted one,” she admitted. While Stacey’s swish pizza oven comes in at a whopping £899, Ninja’s Woodfire Electric Outdoor Oven, Artisan Pizza Maker and BBQ Smoker is currently just £249.99 in their summer sale.
The kids enjoyed their first pool day of the year
Next to the pizza oven is a large four seater sofa in mole velvet, which Stacey designed herself. Proudly showing off her design, she said: “This sofa is one I designed for @scssofas. So proud Can’t believe they’re actually in store now @ SCS said people love them which is the BEST feeling.” She has opted for the Stacey Solomon Bliss 4 Seater Sofa for the space, which retails for £1,499.99. Stacey decorated the sofa with some neutral cushions, and added a natural jute rug, which looks very similar to this one from her George at ASDA collection, to break up the space and create texture. The pool house also has its very own kitchen space for outdoor dining, as well as a huge walk-in shower for hosing off after a long day splashing in the pool.Story SavedYou can find this story in  My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
