Mum's £5,000 Barbie-inspired Dreamhouse home sparks furious backlash from neighbours who brand it a 'right state' Nicole Watt spent £5,000 transforming her home into a Barbie-inspired Dreamhouse for her three daughters – complete with a pink slide, disco ball and flamingos – but not everyone is a fan A mum has splashed out £5,000 transforming her home into a 'Barbie Dreamhouse' complete with pink slide - but some neighbours have branded it a ''right state''. Nicole Watt, 27, has decked out the exterior of her property with a Barbie-themed mannequin, palm tree, dressing table and surfboard. She dedicated six months to planning the doll's palace, and her house in Carluke, Scotland, has now been decorated with a pink disco ball, flamingos and beach toys. Nicole says she drew inspiration from her three daughters, Ariah, 8, and twins Aryn and Ayda, both 5, who are all mad about Barbie. With the majority of the doll's house constructed from wood, pink paint, and upcycled materials, Nicole reckons she forked out roughly £5,000 to create a Barbie wonderland for her daughters. Their home has since become a local landmark both in person and online, with scores of visitors stopping by for photographs. It has garnered hundreds of glowing comments - though some folk aren't quite as keen. One local wrote: ''Imagine having to live across the road from that. '' Another remarked: ''It is a bit much and probably cost a fortune." One added: ''That's a right state.'' Speaking today, Nicole said: "The girls' papa and gran made the house, the surfboards, pantries, lampposts and palm trees - everything Barbie requires. "Twins are hard because they don't like the same stuff apart from Barbies, so we decided on a Barbie Dreamhouse. They love Barbies, I've got an older wee girl, and she absolutely loves them, so this is like a dream. "They don't want it to go down - they think they can invite their friends over and stay there." Nicole revealed that the Barbie Dreamhouse was created as part of the Carluke and District Gala Day. The construction was completed in three separate stages, even requiring scaffolding to erect it properly. Adorning the outside of the house are a jewellery board, a disco ball, flamingos and beach balls. However, the Barbie house is due to come down shortly, as Nicole waits for scaffolding to dismantle it. She added: "I can't see out of my windows because of the backdrop. It's already been up for a week." Nicole revealed that the house went viral on TikTok, drawing visitors from "all over" to catch a glimpse. She said: "There's been people travelling from all over to see it. I went out yesterday, and there was a randomer in my garden taking pictures - they think it's amazing." Locals have taken to social media to heap praise on the family's remarkable efforts in creating this Barbie paradise. One said: "This has been a lovely effort for her girls and the neighbourhood. Surely she doesn't have to take it down yet. Its so bright and cheerful." A second said: "This is bloody brilliant so much fun." Another added: "Oh wow fantastic! Brilliant memories for the wee girls." And a fourth suggested it shouldn't be taken down: "I don't think you should take it down, why not keep it up after all the work and effort you all put in to it."
