AN ARTIST has told how she spent five years transforming her normal Essex home into a real-life Barbie dreamhouse.
Amy Griffith, originally from California, began the huge project in 2009 when she moved from London to Tiptree.
The one-of-a-kind Essex mansion is completely covered in flamboyant pink with an explosion of brightly coloured flowers and fairy lights.
The fun and off-the-wall property boasts a unicorn sculpture, pink flamingos, heart-shaped stepping stones and an outdoor fireplace.
It even has indoor and outdoor cinemas, the hot-tub and a private photo studio.
