Good Morning, I am Maryann from Florida. I am new to the dollhouse community . I purchased the Magnolia and was reading the warm up sheet and have decide to prepaint and assemble, however, I don't know whether I should do the same with the roof shringles? I would like to stain the shringles and I would like to know if I should before applying? Or is it now advisable at all and leave the shringles as is. Thank you for your help.
