Do you plan to paint the exterior, personally, I would prefer a darker color. I'm liking the entrance and agree shutters or flower boxes will help. Also trimming the two round shrubs will help. What are the " things" sticking out on sides of the windows ?

If you aren't painting the exterior I would do another color door pronto - the pinkish red clashes with the roof of the house, which is actually very fun. I think it would be neat to add a small seating area in the front yard with your landscaping along with some curved beds in the front to break up the boxiness of the home and soften it. Its a very inviting house!

HI -- It looks like the house did have shutters before ... I think what I see are the brackets that hold a shutter open . The color is wrong for the style of the house . It's too weak . I think a rich ocher gold ( York harbor yellow 2154 -40 BM paints) with the white trim on the windows and black shutters and front door . Window boxes are a lot of work and the watering may ruin the siding . Bigger Sconce style Antiqued brass lanterns exterior lighting .If you don't want to paint the siding , the blue could work as long as you add black shutters and paint the door the yellow I mentioned above or an emerald green . You should never try to do a red door with a red roof , it just never works . Replace the two round bushes for some foundation hedging like a boxwood . Maybe add some bricks like the front steps down each side of the front walk to widen to the width size of the front porch.

wow, Lefty! this is GOOD STUFF! Never would've thought about extending brick, but now i'm intrigued by it....

HI --Thank You and your welcome !!
