We are putting an offer in on this house, and I like everything about it...except that the exterior is really dull. We don't have the budget to add a roof over the deck, so I am looking for other ideas to improve the curb appeal. I'm thinking of starting with shutters and window boxes, but I'd love some input. We plan on landscaping, but won't be able to do much until next spring. I would like to get it looking cuter before hosting during the holidays.

Thanks!
