A DOTING mum has wowed the internet withan incredible DIY dolls house she made for her son.
The little boy is obsessed with action heroes and wanted a house for his figurines to play inside, but his mum was unable to find anything on the shelves.
The previous Christmas, the lad had asked for an ordinarydollhouse, so his mum put her DIY skills to good use and turned the pretty pink house into a green and red superhero palace.
After sharing images of the completed dollhouse to the Facebook group , the mum-of-three has been inundated with praise.
In the post, the mum wrote: "Here is my 3 year old boy’s dream house.
"Last year he wanted Father Christmas to bring him a Barbie house and this year he wanted a ‘bigger Barbie house’.
"As he spent most of his time playing with Hulk and Spider-Man in the original Barbie house I put on my thinking cap and here is the result!
"Completed for a total of around £35, including the house, which I bought from marketplace.
"He (and his two older sisters!) love it!"
The doting mum shared photos of the dollhouse pre-makeover, when it was decked out with pink walls adorned with painted furniture in a bedroom, living room, kitchen and bathroom.
Now the house looks totally unrecognisable and features three floors themed around superheroes Spiderman, Superman and the Hulk.
The post has proved a hit on Facebook, earning more than 3,700 likes and hundreds of comments praising the mum's efforts.
One person commented: "That’s awesome! Wish I thought about this when my lad played with action figures!"
Where the dollshouse decor came from
Main flooring – The Range, £12.60 a roll
Red paint (walls) – B&Q
Balcony flooring – cork tile
Hulk walls – craft paper
Hulk sticker – eBay
Spider-Man, Avengers, brick and slate wallpapers – samples, B&M, The Range and B&Q
Another chimed in: "This is seriously cool, well done."
A third person mused: "Looks amazing I wish I'd thought of doing something like this for my little boy when he was into things like that. It's crap that there isn't anything on the market like a dolls house aimed at boys, everything is pink."
While someone else said: "Brilliant! My spiderman obsessed 7 year old loves it!"
