Love Island star and reality television personality Olivia Bowen has shared the progress of her exciting renovation project on Instagram.
The reality star who became famous for starring on Love Island's 2016 series, has become an avid DIY and home improvement guru.
On her Instagram page called The Bowen Home, Olivia frequently posts about her renovation journeys "with a sprinkle of tips, tricks and inspo" for the home.
It appears fans love Olivia's sense of design – her posts usually go viral, with many garnering over 40,000 likes. The page is also a place where the design-savvy star can share photos of her family and of course, her two French bulldogs.
In the post, Olivia wrote: "We’re getting there! Little reno project update! I’m in Birmingham at the moment so checking out the new house & how things are coming along! I’ve missed out so much of this project as we actually completed & got the keys the same day Abel was born, so it’s been admired & discussed from a distance!"
Working on a home DIY project is something Olivia clearly loves. She wrote: "Getting to come & see it made me so happy; it’s looking so good! There’s not too much left to do now, I cannot wait to see the kitchen in with all the new floor & newly opened archway to the utility!"
One of the signs of a good project manager is to keep tabs on the amount of time one spends on duties. This is an area that Olivia excels at, as the new mum is an excellent time-keeper who keeps an eye on how long each room is taking to do up.
She wrote: "At the end of the video you can see the bathroom which has been the quicker transformation – very nearly finished! We added a bath with shower & the new tiles."
Olivia also clearly understands the impact of a big reveal – possibly something she picked up on her days on Love Island.
Tempting fans with the finalised project, she wrote: "Can’t wait to show you guys the finished product – shouldn’t be long now! I’m going to go back down & do some painting in a couple weeks, been dying to get my hands dirty!"
The latest project is Olivia's second renovation and has seen her work to transform a three-bedroom house with a "lovely garden" into something "that will make the perfect family home once it’s had a spruce up!"
The biggest challenge appears to be the dated kitchen and bathroom, which Olivia said needed a "complete rip out and refit." The remaining rooms require little work, so once the main rooms have been worked on, fans can expect a speedy end to Olivia's project.
Olivia's excitement for home renovation is inspirational and upbeat. She wrote: "Can’t wait to get it all looking fresh, the difference will be amazing!"
The renovations have been something of a team effort, as a close family member has been drafted in to help. Olivia wrote: "So grateful to have my father in law working on the project for us."
Olivia has promised more home-related updates, which no doubt fans will be looking forward to as they learn more tips and advice on how to create a stylish home.
