Just finished the rear of the house, I accidentally broke my railing I need to fix it, the roof is unfinished and not attached. I'm undecided what to do about it. I 'm trying to stay authentic but I would like to use the same treatment I did on the
hat shop roof, but really aged with layers of color. I have seen slate used and barrel tiles on the edges but nothing like what I want to do, Ugh! I added the faux doors and windows to add interest to the back of the house. I originally planned to add brick to the lower gray unpainted section but I like the contrast and it leads the eye to the gray in the courtyard???? Except for hardware on the doors this is it for the outside, I think:) I have all the furniture for the inside but I am missing some lights for a couple of rooms, so time permitting the house should be completed by June. I have chosen the official name of the Dollhouse, which is "The Marshall House" after my maternal great, great grandparents who were from Louisiana.

I agree about the grey it also brings you eyes to the back doors because of the break in the wall color. I think you are trying to get to me when you turn the lights low...I think you know it makes me sighhhh. LOL
