4. Merge your layers and duplicate the newly merged layer. Flip it Vertically. Position it below the 1st layer, something close to as I have done.

6. Select gray colors for this 1st coloring. (I change colors a few times so don't get lost!) Use a light color for the wall facing the light source, a dark one for the far wall, and a middle color for the roof. Don't worry about getting perfect colors as yet.

7. Ok here I have added a sloped roof and a door. Make new layers for both and al additions to your house. Use a similar style as i have for the roof. The door is sort flat here, feel free to thicken yours. Use similar lighting principals for the inside.

8. We want the roof to overshadow the house so extend it as so.

10. I have switched to a pretty red color here, suitable for a nice little suburban house. The door has been rotated too; just select the door layer and hit Flip Horizontal.
