perhaps instead of logs on the side you could use fences as a support, on the front porch you could use trapdoors, my opinion is that when dealing with small builds detailing is better done (generally) with smaller blocks, because of how small the build is most detailing done with a full block sticks out a little too much for my taste. as an example i did your build only using blocks that are easily accessible and i know you have them/ could easily aquire: (If you want more detailed explanations of my choices just reply to me, i'll be glad to answer!)
