Sherlock Holmes - 221b Baker Street Diorama (With Hansom Cab)

My take on Holmes and Watson's classic Baker Street abode. Designed by hand with a physical model a couple of years back and recently modified.
I have been a fan of Sherlock Holmes and LEGO for years, so I finally decided to unite my two passions by making a MOC!
This would make a great LEGO set for play or display, as millions of Sherlock Holmes fans would love to have a small model like this for themselves. The convenient size makes it easy to transport or display almost anywhere, and it is packed with details.
The main model is on a 16x16 base. One side has their living room with bookshelves, a fireplace, armchairs, and a desk. The other side is an exterior sidewalk with the entrance and a streetlight.
The model also includes a horse-drawn hansom cab for hire with a driver on top. It can fit both Holmes and Watson or any other 2 minifigures.
Featuring Sherlock Holmes, John Watson, and cab driver minifigures. Holmes and Watson have both hair and hat headpieces as well as appropriate accessories.
I'm very open to suggestions or improvements. (I'm still not sure about the front; let me know if it's too busy or needs more decoration.) I'm really proud of the hansom cab model though!
One note about the door -- if made into an actual set it would have a solid black door with a "221b" sticker, but I don't believe the windowless door piece has previously been made in the color black, so I was unable to procure one for the physical model and have replaced it with a door piece that does have a window in it.
