to you it looks bare, because they were there. to me, seeing it for the first time, it looks like perfection.

hold off replacing them for 6 months.... next spring.... by then you'll know if you really still miss them.

No to the shutters.

No to the shutters. Adding some more landscaping under the windows will help with the bareness, but it's a cute house it doesn't need much added to it.

I love your house - reminds me of the neighborhood I grew up in. The colors are great, and I feel the only thing you need is some landscaping help, especially under the large window.

Very cute house! I also say no to shutters, especially with the stone and window design that both add a lot of interest.

No to shutters.

Now you can focus on landscaping. You've have a good start, but don't hide the porch area and add some interesting plants in terms of color and shape to frame the house. Colorful containers with pant material near the front door would look good.

I am not a fan of stone edging. You can get black flexible metal to keep the beds in bounds, which is,

for the most part, not visible.

Adorable home! I think the windows look great as is. Totally agree with the poster suggesting to add more landscaping.
