I started with the window panes, painting them Alizarin Crimson by Americana. I've been told it's easier to paint these tiny pieces while they are still attached to the frames, but with laser cut pieces, they often come apart easily. Good for keeping damage to a minimum but bad if you want them to have more stability for painting. Ah, well. I've dealt with warped boards before.

For the exterior, I started with a coat of Warm White by Americana. I stippled the paint on instead of brushing it so the surface would have a subtle texture.

The color was rather stark in this scale, so I did the second coat Vintage White by Folk Art. This second color would have been too yellow on its own. Together, they make for a wonderful, vivid off white. Apparently, white chocolate and red velvet are my colors this year.
