She spent six months planning the doll’s palace and her house has now been adorned with a pink disco ball, flamingos and beach toys.
With most of the doll’s house built from wood, pink paint, and upcycled materials, Nicole estimates she spent a total of £5,000 to give her daughters a Barbie paradise.
Now her daughters, Ariah, eight, and twins Aryn and Ayda, both five, don’t want it to be taken down she said.
Their home has now become an attraction both locally and online, with dozens of people paying a visit for pictures.

Nicole said: “Their 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 explained that the Barbie Dreamhouse was made as part of the Carluke and District Gala Day.
They had to do the house in three stages and even needed scaffolding to get it up.
Outside the house, there’s also a jewellery board, a disco ball, flamingos and beach balls.
But the Barbie house is set to go down soon, as she awaits scaffolding to take it back down.
She added: “I can’t see out of my windows because of the backdrop.
“It’s already been up for a week.”
Nicole added that the house went viral on TikTok and visitors from “all over” have come to see it.
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 it to social media to applaud the family’s efforts to make 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.”
