I used some leftover IKEA stain for the front door, finishing it and the white doorframe and window with satin varnish.  The doorknob and doorplate are by Clare-Bell Brass and came in chrome finish.  I wish more minis came in silver and chrome finishes instead of only brass.  The doorknocker is by Olde Mountain Miniatures; the iron was a little dark for the door so I brushed on a light coat of metallic silver paint.  I don't recall where the doorbell came from, but it was brass.  I painted it silver with a dab of white on the button.  It doesn't ring, though there are musical doorbell systems for dollhouses on the market.

The lights match the ones used on the garage.  I made the topiaries, but the hydrangea is by Falcon Miniatures.
