Michael Clarke, 39, and his new girlfriend Pip Edwards, 40, are currently enjoying a sun-soaked holiday in Noosa, Queensland, with their children from previous relationships.
And it seems Michael’s estranged wife Kyly, 38, is keeping herself distracted from the buzz surrounding her ex’s romantic jaunt by working on a DIY project at home.
On Monday, the House Rules judge indulged her passion for home improvement as she refurbished the wooden floorboards inside her Bondi home.

In a string of Instagram Story posts, the interior designer documented the process of polishing and staining her new floorboards.
‘This flooring is looking great [thumbs up emoji]’, she captioned a photo of a bare room.
Her next photo featured a commercial floor polishing device that was presumably being used to finesse her floorboards.

Hinting that she’d hired some help for the at-home project, Kyly teased in the caption: ‘No… it’s not me on the tools.’
The final images showed Kyly looking over a portion of flooring that was painted with three small sections of wood stain.
‘Time to choose the right tone of stain… love my work,’ she boasted in the caption.

On Sunday, Kyly once again kept busy by attending a friend’s party in Liverpool, Sydney.
While she is primarily known for her conservative-yet-chic style, the former model instead opted for a rather daring look consisting of an ab-flashing crop top, skinny jeans and studded beige heels.
The caption also revealed Kyly’s positive mindset, as she simply used the hashtags #Sunday and #GreatDay.

Meanwhile, Michael has been enjoying a vacation in Noosa with Pip and their children from previous relationships, four-year-old Kelsey Lee Clarke and 13-year-old Justice Single.
The couple have been documenting their trip on Instagram, marking the first time they have publicly acknowledged their relationship.
They began dating after Michael’s split from Kyly last year, but their romance didn’t make headlines until February, when the Clarkes publicly announced their separation.
