And I think the flower box is a really good idea.

I love the landscaping proposed by Yardvaark and the red door by Rina.

I really, really don't like the shutters on your home at all. They are on the wrong type windows and are too small. You have a wonderful home....without shutters. https://thecraftsmanblog.com/why-fake-shutters-make-me-angry/

i'd move the walk further to the front on a diagonal, (near left to far right on your photo) so the landscaping area could be larger and the path didnt have a sense of making a hard right angle turn to the left on the approach to your front steps....a visitor would be able to see the front door during the whole trip and it would soften that bed, you could have some grass on that side too that way.

Wow!! And wow! Love it

Like Flo's idea of the roof like structure over a patio. Nice.

Love the idea of a flower box under the lower window and the red door!
