I decided not to use the finials that were supplied in the kit.  They just seemed too large.  I turned a kingpin/finial and will use those instead.

Hi! I absolutely LOVE the way you are building and decorating your dollhouse!  How did you achieve the weathered gray look for your shingles?  I'm want to create a little beach cottage with the same look.  I would love any suggestions!  thanks so much!  Janet

The shingle stain is EASY!  Just take some black india ink, mix with isopropyl alcohol and brush on.  You can adjust the color by adding more/less ink.  It dries in a couple minutes and that is the look you get with no more work.  Note: the more you sand the wood the less effective the weathered look is.  The shingles were not sanded on the face so they took the stain quite well.
