A flat surface wall with door and windows
tends to get boring IMO. To overcome this
I like to build 2 stud thick walls so that I can
play around a bit with depth, like insetting
a door or window.

I agree with you. However I do not have so
very much older looking doors in my collection
and am saving them for more building. The
majority of my shuttered windows are the red
frame/green shutters variety and using those
would make the buildings seem alike to much.
So I decided on using these modern doors and
windows instead. A trade off so to say.
Cheers, Twan.
