Try a bright color on the door with contrasting trim and a more substantial light in a darker finish so it will stand out against the siding. I also colored in the porch rails just for fun.

Add a couple of accessories like flowerpots to define the stairs, and of course your landscaping will be lovely when it fills in!

I like Nancy's ideas. Widening the steps would help if that's in the budget. So would planting something large toward the right corner to balance the tree.

Thanks for the advice! May I ask what you used to make the edits to my house picture? Is that something you can do on Houzz?

No. Just a photo editing/painting app. I like YouDoodle on iPad.

There are other more professional programs, but I'm just playing around!

It would be so awesome if Houzz had a feature like that. We would all be drawing the crap out of each others' pictures! Lol.
