Pregnant influencer Molly-Mae Hague appears to be fully embracing the nesting phase, as she provided fans with fresh updates on the extensive renovations at her £5 million Victorian mansion this Friday. The 26-year-old star, who acquired the seven-bedroom property in Cheshire prior to her split from Tommy Fury in August 2024, has been diligently working on "restoring" the historic home to its former glory.
Guest Bedroom and Bathroom Overhaul
Molly-Mae has now turned her attention to the guest bedroom and bathroom, embarking on a comprehensive gutting process. She shared a snapshot of the room before the demolition began, revealing plans to strip out all furnishings and carpets in preparation for a brand-new aesthetic. Interestingly, the bathroom, which appeared nearly brand new, is also being completely ripped out, with builders already removing tiles and sinks as part of the transformation.
Tommy's Gaming Chair Survives the Purge
Despite the thorough clearance of the spare room, one item has stubbornly remained: Tommy Fury's gaming chair. Much to Molly-Mae's amusement and slight disappointment, the chair has survived the cull, with the influencer joking that it might have to stay permanently given its resilience. This light-hearted moment adds a personal touch to the renovation saga, hinting at the complexities of moving on post-split.
Lavish Bedroom Details and Ongoing Projects
After reconciling with Tommy following their shock separation, Molly-Mae has been documenting the renovation journey on her Instagram. Her stunning bedroom, adorned in muted white tones, features an oak four-poster bed, elegant wall paneling, and floor-to-ceiling curtains. The opulent space also includes a seating area with a built-in TV, an arched shelving unit, and a fireplace that is still awaiting installation.
Back in November, Molly-Mae admitted they were "nowhere near finished" with the room, revealing she had ordered a new light fixture and showcasing a secret door leading to her ensuite. She emotionally praised the arched shelves, stating they "make me emotional, I love them so much," and emphasized the importance of a chandelier in setting the room's tone. However, the renovation hit a snag when a builder interrupted to report issues with the dressing room ceiling, highlighting the challenges of restoring an old property.
Challenges of Restoring a Historic Home
Molly-Mae explained the immense effort required compared to new builds, noting, "I can't even tell you the amount of work it takes... you are literally restoring it." She described the house as "really old and has a lot of history," with the goal of "bringing it back to life." Additionally, she has been planning landscaping work for the exterior but faced setbacks after meeting with four gardeners who allegedly overcharged her "triple" the standard rate for basic tasks like potting plants and soil work.
This renovation project not only reflects Molly-Mae's dedication to creating a perfect home during her pregnancy but also underscores the trials of managing a historic property while navigating personal changes. Fans continue to follow her journey as she balances restoration challenges with moments of humor and nostalgia.
