This house has a lot of potential:

Wow, Dig Doug's rendition looks wonderful!

I would paint all the beige a taupe color that blends with the brick, including the garage door so that it is no longer the focal point. Brighten up the doorway with a pop of color, a new door, if in the budget, without a screen door.

Thank you for the drawing Dig Doug’s Design! That definitely helps me see the potential. I don’t think we want to change out the siding right away - seems to costly. I like the landscaping out front though! I wonder if I could paint the roof line and trim a blue gray color and it would look good, and add the same color shutters? I am also a fan of the German smear technique of painting brick, but that might be too much white and cream on the House then? Bare bay, I definitely agree with giving the door a pop of color!
