It's almost done!

The dollhouse is looking great! The clear coat finish is drying as this is being written. We are taking photos of it today for the Friends of the Children fundraiser brochure and will be posting those soon. The videos mentioned before of the CNC machine cutting the plywood are being complied so everyone can see what that process is like.

Here's the copy that will be included in the brouchure:

Modern Dollhouse: Move-in Ready for Imagination and Fun

Custom designed by a collaboration of architects and designers at SUM Design Studio, this elegant dollhouse waits to be furnished by a child’s creativity. The wholly accessible structure, whose design was directed by input from children ranging in age from 4 to 11 years old, will accommodate any and all from Luke Skywalker and Barbie, to army men and dinosaurs. Made from a single sheet of sturdy, high-grade Appleply cut and assembled by Classic Exhibits, this one-of-a-kind house has no rough edges and is finished with a clear coat finish worthy of LEED certification. The structure uses no hardware; each piece slips together smoothly with easy-to-follow assembly instructions. When disassembled, the pieces lie flat in a custom case for ready storage.
