Amanda Holden has transformed her £7million Surrey mansion a year after getting the keys with her husband Chris Hughes.
The actress, 53, moved into her new home last November with her family – including daughters Alexa, 18, and Hollie, 12 – after selling her South West London home for a reported £5million.
From a blank canvas, the pad is now a marbled dream, with a grand piano in the entrance, the most extra Christmas tree we’ve ever seen, and even an entertainment bar area.
The huge hallway – that’s much bigger than many London flats – is tiled with a shiny black and white squared floor, with the walls a creamy yellow colour.
On the right-hand side, white stairs make their way up to the landing, as the wall is lined with monochrome portraits.
Amanda also took followers on a virtual tour through the living room, complete with a huge burnt orange sofa, a big old in-built TV, and a geometric glass coffee table with a gold rim.
Meanwhile, the dining room is decorated with an array of deep, warm golds, woods and greens, with a large table and artsy panelled walls.
In each panel is a leafy jungle scene, with leopards prowling in shrubbery and gazing into the room on top of the dark wooden parquet floors.
In chill-out zone number two, Amanda also has an entertainment room with dark green walls and a velvet blue sofa, a bar with high seats and of course a whole wall of booze.
On the wall hangs a huge painting of the Britain’s Got Talent judge herself sipping a martini and a quote reading: ‘I drink to make other people more interesting.’
Captioning the post, Amanda wrote: ‘What a difference a year makes. Moved in a year ago today….and nearly finished the whole house,… what to do next!!! I love a project. More makeovers coming…’
Speaking about the house, she told MailOnline: ‘This is my dream home. My entire life I have wanted the dream home, and you know you do the stepping up and now I’ve finally got it.’
She continued: ”It was the perfect house, and most people would have probably moved in and kept it the same, but it was a very pale, white and grey house and it’s not like that anymore.
‘I am turning it into the Beverly Hills Hotel, that’s my aim. I have just planted two palm trees in the garden, which makes me feel so happy.’
