Inside My LA Barbie Dream House | HOOKED ON THE LOOK

A FASHION photographer has transformed her LA home into a 1970’s version of Barbie’s Dreamhouse. Hidden away in the San Fernando Valley lies a pink-pillared mansion with a matching convertible parked outside. Jamie Nelson, 36, has made a name for herself in the fashion industry, photographing the likes of Drew Barrymore and Gwen Stefani. As stylish as her subjects, you could easily assume the pink spinning bed or the fur-walled bathroom that features on Jamie’s Instagram is just a part of her job. However, this is Jamie’s not-so-humble abode – boasting fabulous retro interior with a burst of colour inside. Jamie told Barcroft TV: “I moved to LA from New York City two years ago and I’ve been creating my dream house ever since. I came to LA with a pink house in mind.” She has spent the last two years transforming the home from a blank canvas into a creation of colour with 70’s vibes. Rather than make the entire house pink, Jamie decided each room would take on a different colour and theme. “I don’t ever get tired of the colours of the rooms because there’s a blue room, a yellow room, a red room, a pink room, a gold room.” Growing up in Colorado Springs, Jamie was always infatuated by visuals of decades gone by and dreamt of becoming an artist. From the age of 17, she formulated a plan to live in a pink house, surrounded by pool boys serving her drinks whilst she floated on a pink flamingo. Jamie has had numerous requests for music videos, fashion campaigns and commercials to be filmed at the house.
