For me it, and many others, is just a decent hobby and I rarely ask a question (and judging from the feedback I've received privately, I'm not the only one being intimidated) because inevitably there's always someone just waiting to jump on what I do ask or say. And I was not rude, I was very restrained, if you want to know what rude really is, I'll forward what's send to me privately, then again, I wouldn't forward such things to anyone. My wise ole father said many many years ago, 'The surest way to take all the enjoyment out of a recreational activity is to require it to to turn a profit.' AND HE WAS AND SILL IS QUITE RIGHT. -
If one can manage not to burn one's fingers, or anything else, hot glue does have its uses. There are two types of hot glue, low temp (cloudy) and high temp (clear). High temp gives you a bit more time to work with.

I asked what other's did I didn't say it would have any impact on my decision. It's just a hobby, chill :angry:

There's no almost to it. The furniture was bought to stay together and the house is designed and built to be it's permanant home, and it isn't for playing with. This does not mean all houses to follow will be the same but it is how this house will be. So, there are no 'pros or cons', twas in my heart all along :angry:

Other than a dog? No :angry:

I would expect anything wax based to leave a stain and ability to change might be the one instance when 'tacky' could be useful

Not with this house and dust isn't an issue either, the glass front will take care of that.

This template makes it much easier to achieve that 'shaker shingle' effect. I dilute some white glue with water and use a spray bottle to soak the paper first. Make sure it's glued on straight and completely dry before shingling. It might look like it's upside down but it isn't. Place one shingle in each 'box' and before you know it you'll have a miniature roof to be proud of. -

Something to keep in mind for sure, thanks Suzanne

Glue would make revamping a frustrating experience. The house I'm working on and the furniture will be STAYING together, I've been years collecting just the right pieces, and while there are no 'little hands' in my home I do have a large dog with a long-haired tail that would quickly sweep everything helter skelter

Like those temporary Scotch brand products for putting up Christmas decorations? This furniture will be staying put as it isn't the 'play with and move around' sort and it definitely won't be needing an upgrade.
