It really is quite beautiful as it is!

I really like it!

The only thing that jars me is the different color trim on the left window than others. Lovely home. I wouldn't mind living there.

I think an update on the landscaping would do. The outside lights to the left and right of the door are a bit outdated, perhaps resurfacing them? I do agree that your entrance needs something though. Good luck.

Looks fine to me-just a little power washing here and there and update the landscaping. Light fixtures are consistent with the style of the house.

Aside from the lights -- see below -- I'd leave the entrance as is and bring in a professional to redesign the path borders completely. Get rid of the stiff pruned shrubs, and bring in a more relaxed approach to the planting. I think that approach to the door could look stunning, even in midwinter.

As for the light fixtures, I think they are a little too consistent with the scroll work on the door. Gorgeous on the door, but too matchy and bitty on the lights. I'd suggest you consider looking for fixtures in the same broad style, but simpler.

I like the lights, but agree with others who have mentioned the landscaping. I think that's what you need, more color and better scale. You could also clean the moss from the paved area.

I agree with the previous posters. Your manicured bushes look dated. With your stone, I would look for inspiration in places like Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, Old House Gardens and Prairie Moon Nursery. You could create a very colorful 3-4 season garden with native plants that appeals to bees/butterflies/hummingbirds.

@potter99 -Absolutely Fab idea regarding the urns placed under the lights. The lights are gas lantern, need a bit of repair. Adding additional framing to the posts is also a must! Never thought about expanding the patio for a weightier appearance. thank you
