I know in the "real world" the deck should be a darker wood color, but I don't want it to be overpowering (and who said dollhouses have to be realistic?!) The stones in the foundation have a bunch of different colors in them - two shades of gray, a grayish purple, a mossy green - maybe I will try those and see if any look good.

The second and third risers could be either stone or painted white And I think the stone foundation should continue around the steps including the bottom riser.

A gray like the example photo would work, except it might blend into the foundation too well. I'm wondering what a mossy green would look like.

For 40 bucks I'd personally expect a lot more. Wow, you had to cut the wood grain into it..why didn’t they, nevermind and thanks for the heads up. For 40 bucks I’d personally expect a lot more.
