A Carluke<\/a> mum has transformed her home into a fantastic Barbie Dreamhouse.<\/p>\n

Nicole Watt, 28, decided to go big for the Carluke & District Gala Day<\/a>, and inspired by her three daughters’ Ariah, eight, Aryn and Ayda, both five, love of Barbie<\/a>, she decided to turn her home bright pink after lots of planning.<\/p>\n

Her Unitas Crescent home has now become a bit of an attraction, with locals still paying a visit for pictures on Sunday morning, despite the Gala taking place yesterday.<\/p>\n

The mum-of-three told Glasgow Live: “Because I have twin girls, it was hard because they don’t have the same personalities at all.<\/p>\n

“So we had to compromise and find something they both really liked, so they went for Barbie Dreamhouse – but they said they wanted it to be one they could live in.<\/p>\n

“In the lead-up, their papa and gran made the palm trees, and surf boards with their names on them and they’re dad came along to build it.<\/p>\n

“We had to do it in three stages and even needed scaffolding to get it up.<\/p>\n

“The girls were so amazed<\/a> when it was complete, they think it’s great and have been playing with ever since.<\/p>\n

“They’re loving life and have been telling me they don’t want it to go.”<\/p>\n

Thankfully for anyone wanting to pay a visit, Nicole’s Dreamhouse will remain in place for a little longer this week, as she awaits scaffolding to take it back down.<\/p>\n

Nicole added: “In the Gala lots of people came round to see it, and even more folk today.<\/p>\n

“It took us a week to make, but the lead up has been about six months and it’s exactly the way they want it.<\/p>\n

“The neighbours are all so impressed too and have put up pink bunting up to go along with it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mum-of-three Nicole Watt was inspired to create the Dreamhouse by her daughters’ love of Barbie.
