I don't understand the 2 trees at the front of the house. cypress?

or the 2 large shrubs on either side of your lovely home...

Thanks for the suggestions on the shrubs/trees, but we'll only be doing the stone treatments and entry door on this home. I'll pass on your suggestions to the landscapers :)

@Visionmakers International Please pass on the suggestions to the landscaper as your dilemma headline reads "need some curb appeal" which brings to most of our minds "landscaping".
You might want to reconsider your posted headline.

okay...so back to your original question...but with a caveat...I'd work with the landscapers before you you did anything because it is going to distract from your work!

If you're going to do stone work on the windows, unless you're changing the house color and the coins on the corners of the house, I'd say you need to stay with the same color. The "stone" on the windows could be cast stone and could be what looks like a white color...that the coins on the corners.

For the front door, I think it needs color, to make it stand out. I think you could easily do that first with photo shop and try cutting and pasting what you want to do on the windows and the front door...and at the same time get rid of those shrubs.

Take out all the old fashioned lollipop shrubs. Add some small grasses, flowers, new soft brown mulch then paint the front door a great color to bring it out of the shadows. Perfect!
