Dad-of-22 Noel Radford begins renovations at ‘millionaire mansion’ but reveals way it ended in disaster hours later
THERE’S always something going on at the Radford’s 10-bed ‘millionaire mansion’, and today was no different.
As dad-of-22 Noel began renovation plans, things took quite the turn after a morning of painting the walls.
Posting on the family’s Instagram account, he revealed painting plans were messy from the get-go.
“And so it begins, the boys’ room is first and the dog’s already stood on the paint lid and trampled it everywhere,” he caption a snap of him painting a wall a light shade of blue.
The family’s pooch, Bluebell, ended up covered in pink paint, from another bedroom they’re also renovating.
The pup had the pink paint all over her fury coat, leaving the family in stitches.
Britain’s biggest family recently shared how they are starting to embark on the “massive task” of “redecorating the house” – and a fresh lick of paint is just the start of their big plans.
The matriarch of the family, Sue, who stars in Channel 5’s 22 Kids and Counting, previously took to Instagram to share how the first room they would be tackling would be the lounge.
The Lancashire-based mum said: “Really want to decorate our lounge and replace these units but can’t decide what I would like.”
She shared a photo of their current lounge which has wooden floors, grey walls and fireplace with a TV.
After revealing her new house project with followers, people were quick to chime in with their recommendations.
Sue, 49, and Noel, 53, have 22 kids and squeeze their large brood into a 10-bed former care home.
The home is spread over four storeys, with many of the kids sharing a room together.
The busy parents, who support themselves with a bakery and don’t rely on benefits, currently have most of their kids living under their roof.
The Radfords have racked up thousands of fans thanks to their popular YouTube channel and Instagram page, and often offer a sneak peek inside their fun-loving home.
Despite being full to the brim, the home is immaculate and well looked after by stay-at-home mum Sue.
When visitors walk through the front door they’re greeted by a giant storage unit that holds all the children’s coats.
The hallway is cluttered with the family’s stuff, with Sue admitting there’s “stuff, stuff everywhere”.
On the ground floor is their cosy living room; featuring an enormous leather sofa, fireplace and a toy box full to the brim.
Next is the kitchen; with a giant fridge, breakfast bar, oven and dishwasher, while their huge dining room has a large table and chairs for family meals.
On this level there is also a small toilet and a huge shoe storage space, which has been expertly organised by Sue.
The bedrooms are spread over the first, second and third floor, with Noel and Sue’s room, which has a bed with a crushed velvet headboard, dressing table and stylish wooden beams on the ceiling, on the top floor.
In the hallway of the basement is a treadmill, which Sue jokes her husband bought during a “midlife crisis”.
There is a laundry room featuring Sue’s prized possession: a 18kg washing machine.
Nine loads of washing are done each day, using 30 bottles of washing liquid every month and the family uses four toilet rolls per day.
