The 34-year-old mum-of-five, who is married to Joe Swash, took to social media to show off the cheap buys she nabbed from Ikea and eBay, to add some colour and style to her pergola.

Posting on her Instagram stories, the Loose Women star gave her six million followers a close-up look at her incredible pergola.

Inspired by the surroundings from her Greek hen do, the Sort Your Life Out host explained that it was time to remove the pretty pink flowers that had been hanging there for two years.

She explained: “I am gonna spruce up the pergola - these flowers I put in this pergola over two years ago, from my wedding and they have discoloured a little bit.

“I’m going to take these ones out because I’ll spray them and use them on a different project and I’m just going to put in some neutrals to give it a fresh, clean spruce up.”

We then saw a clip of Stacey adding some beautiful white and blue flowers to the pergola, which sits next to her huge swimming pool, giving her impressive £1.2m Pickle Cottage garden a fresh new look, just in time for summer. 

The busy mum, who released yet another collection with Primark this year, then added: “The white ones are actually from Ikea - I bought them for my wedding because Ikea was the only place that I could find lots of flowers for cheap.

“Some of the ones you buy on Amazon, even though they’re cheap, you can only get a certain amount of the exact same ones, whereas Ikea had loads.

“They’re actually really pretty.

“The purple ones were even cheaper than those - they’re from eBay.”

Despite her impressive net worth of £4million, this DIY fan, who lives in Essex, proves that you don’t have to break the bank to make your home and garden look fabulous.

Thrilled with her Spanish style garden, Stacey continued: “You can see close up that they’re cheaper, I think they look a bit cheaper, but from afar they do the job and make a nice pretty colour in there.

“The greenery is from different places. The eucalyptus is from Ikea, they’re strings that I’ve wound together.

“Most of my flowers I get from Ikea or eBay or Amazon.

I added some of the bluebells from the Easter door last year too and I love it

“I literally put these all over the house - they go from place to place. 

“I get good use out of them and they last years and years.” 

Not only this, but Stacey, who is known for going all out on her seasonal door decorations, also added: “I added some of the bluebells from the Easter door last year too and I love it.”
