The mum-of-five took to her to share a look at the decorated door, after admitting she'd only just finished it.

"I forgot to show you the front door," she wrote over the snap.

"I finished the other week and I can honestly say this is the most disorganised I've ever been at Christmas!"

However, Stacey insisted she was "rolling with it all" because all the kids will care about is that she and husband Joe Swash are "home with nothing to focus on but them on Christmas Day".

As well as the homemade nutcracker Stacey had painted pink for this year's festive theme, there was a pink wreath on the door and huge baubles.

But the focal point of the whole project was undoubtedly the sleigh, which came complete with cushions and blankets inside to ensure a comfy ride.

A glittery reindeer stood at the front of the sleigh with pride.

Despite Stacey admitting she's been less than organised in the run up to Christmas, she has had time to show off her upcycling skills - by transforming a plastic wendy house for her daughters.

In a on her Instagram page, Stacey showed that the plastic house had started off pink with a white door, as she got to work giving it a Solomon makeover.

After painting the roof white, she added some brown paint to give it a wood effect, before moving on to paint the window frames purple.

She added a window box filled to the brim with faux flowers, and even attached a cute bell to the front of the house.

Lastly, she put fairy lights under the roof, and affixed the sign which read "Belle and Rose Cottage".

"The girls Christmas present - done!" she wrote in the caption.

"It’s not my finest work & there so much I wanted to add but haven’t had the time.

"But in all honestly I know they’ll love it so much & I genuinely love making over & up cycling things for their presents.

"I feel a part of them & their memory of it!"

Stacey added she's already got more plans for the little house, including adding a "chimney and more character".

And she's also been working hard on son Rex's Christmas presents, which is all Minecraft themed.

"I’ve also been crafting Minecraft presents for Rex because he wishes he could have the game but he can’t so I made makeshift real life pic-axes & gem chests instead," she wrote.

And despite Stacey admitting the house wasn't her "finest work", she was inundated with comments praising the transformation after posting the Reel.

"This is soooo cute," one wrote.

"This is so special. Rose & Belle will love it so much!" another added.

"Stopppp ! Stacey this is nicer than my own actual home!" a third laughed.

"The girls will love it !! You are such a good egg girl."

"Wow! You really are brilliant," someone else agreed.

"They are going to love it! I bloody love it!"

"I love that the things you upcycle for them are unique and all your love and creativity has gone into it, which makes it extra special," another praised.
