The house was built during the night at the Stockholm Central Station, and pitched to media in the morning. This resulted in curious and surprised reporters, reporting online, as well as in print and above all: national television. Four Swedish celebrity moms, who all have blogs at mama.nu decorated smaller versions of the house, in front of the original one at the Central Station. Thousands of passengers photographed and filmed the event, and later uploaded the material to their blogs, Twitter, Facebook and other social media sites.
