Very pointy house.
Very pointy.
Otherwise it looks good, but unfinished. I'd try to mess around with shading and adding details.
EDIT:
I made the point a little blunter, I changed the black lines inside the picture to be more of a white than a black, to be a different sort of outline.
I made the house thinner to make the roof look more like a roof, and to add some shading opportunities to the picture.
I added in a few colors so I could do more with it.
I got rid of all the black in the picture.
I did a effect on the windows to make them look like they're indented into the wall. I think I might elaborate more in a bit with a nice little tutorial.

Hello,
Let's compare the dark side and the light side (Haha - the dark lord has ye...)
Anyways...lets take your left side of the roof, it is darker than the lower part of the wall which should actually be the case, even a little darker since the angle of the left side of the roof is <90° hence it is somewhat getting a little more light but is still dark, adding blue or purple tones to the shadows adds a little ambience aswell, might want to try that out.
Small advice aside, try to limit your outlines only to the edges of the entire piece (sorry helm...I know you h8 selout)
But beware!
That doesn't mean you have to selout (in any case, you cant do that in that very piece with your current skills so nevermind that)
To sum it up: work with areas, and study the pixel terminology & techniques, for starters!

That looks by far better
Good work, but you might want to remove the 1 line of the double from the window, also changing the frame from white to a somewhat grayish and the window a little darker too.
The overall size of the window is a bit big aswell, in comparison with the door

great improvement. I think the colors a bit too dull, but I'm impressed.
