Neat night shot!
I like the idea of wax paper for dirty windows, since it is easy to come by and relatively cheap, something that fits the ideology of this thrifty & creative project. I've used Dullcoat on the inside of a building before to fog the windows, as it leaves the outer surface shiny and the inside dusty. HOWEVER, wax paper, even on the inside of window glass, will not be nearly as toxic or smelly as dullcote!
The good ole Life-Like general store has a nice feature cast into the front door window. It's a little ring on a string, meant to look like the pull on the shade. Pretty large considering scale, but detail like that really needs to be a little out of scale in order to be seen & appreciated, otherwise, why go to the trouble? Unless, of course, it's going to keep you up at night, I guess. Anyway, I just glazed that window with clear styrene and painted the upper portion above the cast-on pull and muntin a nice yellowish tan.

I may not be a rivet counter, but I sure do like rivets!
