Exterior Modeling: Getting the outside to look as good as the inside

The outside of the dollhouse has as much do to with the appeal, if not more, than the inside design. You will want to focus on the most eye attracting points first: The paint and the shingles. When you are setting up your dollhouse apply a good three coats of good craft paint to your dollhouse. The shingles should be died and applied carefully using a ruler to assure that the lines are straight. Bird houses, dog houses, gazebos, and more are other ways to spruce up your exterior.
