Real-Life Barbie Dream House



In Malibu, California somone decided to build a REAL Barbie Dream House!!! 3,500 sq. ft. pad overlooks the Pacific Ocean! Mattel, makers of Barbie, atually decided to build the magnificent home. For the 50th anniversary of Barbie, Mattel commisoned interior decorator Johnathon Adler to deck out the dream house.

"Barbie was a dream client because she doesn't exist as a person," Adler said. "She exists as fantasy and is the perfect client because she's always happy and fun and loves everything. I thought to myself, 'How would Barbie live?' What I thought was Barbie would have a house that is glamorous, kittenish, chic, colorful and happy — as well as functional."

Barbie's closet is fully equipped with 50 pairs of shoes, all pink! Her bedroom is pink carpeted wall to wall, printed with her initials. In Barbie's garage is a pink bug with a pop up vanity set in the trunk!!!

You may ask yourself why would Mattel build this Dream House? It's going to be the site of their Posh Party on Monday night. This soiree is in celebration of Barbie's birthday. After the party, almost all the furniture is going to be shipped to the Palms in Las Vegas. There the furniture will furnish a special pink Barbie suite, ideal for bachelorette parties.

i wish i could see this place!
ikea is a swedish home store- its HUGE everything is very modern and also cheap because they sell stuff flat and you put it together. they also have a TON of cute home accessories. its seriously nuts. they just opened one off of 85 just before you get to charlotte! you should check it out! its so fun, even if your not buying anything-the whole upstairs is a showroom where they've set up every room in a house in all different designs. so yeah, hope that makes sense!
