I have a recessed entry that is currently covered in stucco that is painted the same pale green/blue as the rest of the house I would love to cover just this entry with some kind of decorative siding to set it apart and give it some architectural interest. I plan to change the color of the house when we repaint. Trim will most likely stay white, door will be a darker color, and there is a window to a bathroom on the wall next to the door as well as the window in the foreground.

Does anyone know if this is doable? Could be it be a DIY or is it a contractor project? Is this an insane idea that no one would ever think to do? I can't find much information apart from stuff about redoing the siding on the whole house. We live in Southern California and this is a mid-century ranch.

Thoughts? Ideas? Recs?
