The Construction Team
Carol
Owner, Designer, General Contractor, Material Supplier
a.k.a. "Da Boss"
Owner of the real-size Out of the Ordinary Miniature Shop & Gift Emporium.
Carol's store is a wonderful place to spend an hour or two browsing through her gift shop and miniature section.  Always stocked with unique, reasonably-priced items, there is something for everyone's tastes and budget.
Carol's knowledge and experience in miniatures have helped countless customers achieve beautiful results in their miniature ventures.
Louise
Builder, Flooring & Roofing Non-expert, Electrician, Interior Renovator
a.k.a. "De Employee"
Perpetual customer at Carol's store, designer of Carol's website.
New to the miniature world, Louise has quickly become obsessed with this new hobby / art. With Carol's wonderful advice (and endless wit), Louise's own dollhouse is quickly nearing completion. 
Victoria
The real boss
a.k.a. "IT"

4-year old "I never do anything wrong" special sweetheart  that knows the inside of Carol's store better than Carol herself.   De Employee woke up Saturday morning to a banging noise. IT was sitting on the dining room table, fixing "Tawel's Housh" with a hammer, leftover pieces of floor tiles,  and Liquid Nails adhesive. She had already decorated the exterior with lovely pen drawings.

De employee did the only thing any grandmother would do - she let IT fix the "housh" and ran for her camera.   Once the outside is painted, the dents will never show.

    

Carol's experience and design savvy will ensure that this project will become a showcase-quality piece in her store. Her flair for making things work together will result in a beautiful mix of commercial shops and welcoming living quarters.
Carol's approach: Calculated, well planned, sure progress, eye for detail (and scale)
Carol's favorite saying: "Go nuts." 

Louise's complete lack of concern for venturing into areas that she has never explored before will keep Carol busy - both laughing and correcting. 
Louise's approach: Wing-it, instant gratification, wants it done before it's started
Louise's favorite saying: "I'm already nuts, what's next."

We'll leave it to you to figure out just how wild this adventure promises to be.
