TIP: Paint the roof of your dollhouse to match the shingles.

Getting your roofing materials just right is important because a dollhouse roof is always in plain view.  And you don’t want a less-than-perfect shingle job to be the first thing someone notices about your masterpiece.  So before installing your shingles, paint the roof a color that is as close to your shingles as possible.  If they are multi-toned, select one of the darker tones to coordinate with.  When you’re finished, any unwanted spaces between shingles, or other irregularities, will be camouflaged instead of drawing unwanted attention.
