The couple recently moved to Northampton after he signed for a new team, which mean a new house project for stylish Ellie.
In the past, their moves have been so quick that Liam’s washing was still wet as Ellie packed up to get him to his new club in time.
And this time round, the couple had to stay in a hotel for a week until the WAG found them a new home.
“This is just the life of being a footballer’s girlfriend”, she said.
“You have to do all the stuff while they’re at work.”
Speaking in her YouTube vlog, she revealed: “We’re now living in Northampton because Liam signed for Northampton Football Club so we’ve got a gorgeous new house.
“This is our first time as well that we’ve been able to furnish the whole house which is so fun.
“So I’ve literally been able to buy absolutely everything because before we had our own bed and our own sofa but apart from that everything else was already there like it had like a built-in dining table up to the kitchen and stuff whereas this time it was a blank canvas.”
She added: “I’ve literally built everything because Liam’s been training every day, he’s been so busy.
“When I’ve got something that I want to get done I want to get it done right then so literally like the first away game that he had and we were in the house I built the dining table and the bed all on my own we did the wardrobe together.”
And while Ellie’s dressing room is packed full of designer handbags and shoes, she managed to source some bargain buys that make their new bedroom look luxe on a budget.
Giving followers a sneak peek, she gushed: “I’ve got like chocolate brown and wood. I love this room so much.
“My bedside tables were from The Range. I had my eye on some other ones but they were sold out and then I took a picture and Googled and these came up and they were really similar.
“I think they look really expensive and it just breaks up the beige a little bit having this darker wood.”
But it was a pair of bedside lamps that Ellie hailed as the “bargain of the century”.
“These were from Home Bargains [and] they’re literally £19.99 each and like they’re really heavy and thick and it’s like a concrete looking lamp”, she revealed.
“I can’t lift that with one hand because it’s actually really heavy.”
The WAG did admit that both lamp shades arrived damaged which meant she had to buy new ones.
But it’s not put her off the retail chain, or the overall look as she gushed: “How expensive does that look?
“I think because they’re so big it really makes a difference and it literally matches everything perfectly, I’m obsessed.”
Ellie also bagged fluffy brown chocolate brown cushions, £18 each, and a matching throw for £30 in store to complete the look.
Ellie’s footballer beau Liam Shaw only played twice for Celtic in three years – but never tasted defeat.
Loan spells at Motherwell, Morecambe and Wigan followed before his release from the Hoops last summer – one year early.
He then joined Charlie Adam at Fleetwood Town on a short-term deal before signing for League One side Northampton in January.
Liam proposed to Ellie during a holiday to Jamaica last May.
Sharing news of their engagement accompanied by a pic of her huge diamond ring on social media, smitted Ellie said: “Always and forever.
