How much is your first born?

A laminated stone front with brown trim and garage door...

A cedar panel at the entrance with raised stainless steel house numbers would look cool. Check out the front door and landscaping here too...

This is getting good. Thanks everyone for their input. Some kind of idea is materializing...

Steve, What is your budget? How handy are you? Do you wish to keep the green color, or are you considering painting it? Can you post better pictures taken from the far left corner and far right of the property? I'm confused about the front door, is it on the right had side facade?
1.) Paint garage, any color other than white. You might try a wood grain/ glazing technique or just a med. gray or taupe.
2.) Take out raised brick planter, and put in something like the rectilinear concrete planter on your idea page.
3.) Large modern house numbers on the blank wall to the right of the garage.
4.) Remove large bushes from under the window, you'll get a more modern look with smaller plantings and grasses.
5.) Modern light fixtures for each side of the garage.

-Budget is $5-$10k
-I consider myself pretty handy.
-I'll post better pictures later tonight. The front door is located behind that blank wall to the right of the garage. There's actually a mini-courtyard there. There is also a huge sun room attached to the house (you see the roof and white front to the right of the house).

I was thinking of painting the house dark grey with white trim. Replacing the garage door with an aluminum glass garage door.

I love, and will most likely use, all of your suggestions!

Thank you for responding and clarifying. I'll need to think a bit first. Later.

Crazy...I'm patiently waiting! :) !!

Your house is very plain :) and not a bad thing. You could almost copy the exterior in this picture. Paint it all one color. Improve the front entry with hardscape and extend that to make a patio under the front window. Remove every bush and rock in the front yard. Take a step back and see how that looks before continuing with the rest of the yard.

Remove all the rocks and shrubbery. See if the city will take care of that broken walk or if it is your responsibility. You need some way to distinguish between the garage and the wall beside it. They look nearly identical. Steve is on the right track if it won't bust the budget.
