This is a great house. While I think you don’t really need to do anything, larger cedar posts at the entry aNd matching Wood shutters would be nice. Love the paint colors, especially the front door.

It's actually pretty nice!

Much of the landscaping is new right now and there is that blank spot on that wall....a trellised rose might be nice there or something similar that grows in your climate. It really doesn't need much except time.

Replace the porch lights with ones that have more presence--they fade into the wall color...they might have been PAINTED the wall color!

(I'd be very tempted to replace the columns with nice square posts at some point though. They're a little wrong for the house, but no rush.)

Like it.

Congrats on the new home.

Do you need all that open pavement for parking or could you create a 6' deep shed roofed front porch all across the front of the house with a rail to the right of the entry and, perhaps, adding a covered larger sitting area on the far right side.

Alternately, you might at least raise a small section of the pavement on that right side in front of the blank wall and adding potted plants and at least a bench there, with or without a shelter from the elements, creating a front yard mini patio.

Outdoor Art Pros give the exact same line -- sweet nothings -- to everybody.

What jumps out to me is the washed out, overly light look of all painted surfaces. There is barely any difference between body and trim color. I'd darken the body and keep the trim white.

It looks cheap to me when pediment siding just ends at the bottom, seemingly unsupported by anything sound and substantial. I'd add a piece of trim immediately below it that serves to look like a beam. This would be stucco trim for durability.

The planting needs to be simplified. Larger blocks of fewer varieties.

In about 100% of cases, when the builders add the concrete bed edging, it is placed much too close to the house, making the beds too shallow. You have to start ignoring it and make the beds the size they need to be, or remove it.

IMO the best thing to do is to create a jungle outside your home.

Do you need that enormous driveway for a motorhome or boat? I don't know what the view is from the street but it completely dominates the house in the picture you shared. I don't know your budget but redoing the driveway might be something to consider.

Definitely get a new, more substantial porch light. I would also consider a large sculptural trellis for the empty spot next to the window to fill out the space until the landscaping grows a bit.

Congrats on the new home!

I would do a few things that would give the home a bit more identity. First, I would replace the colonial style columns with square columns. Then, update the exterior lights that stand out from the house color. Remove the shutters on the front of the home. Darken the body of the home a bit, but not too much so you still keep that Florida vibe. Although the front door color is fun, I would change it to coordinate with a color from one of the tiles on the front step. Right now it doesn't coordinate with anything. Or, if you love the door color, replace the front step tiles to terra-cotta which would compliment the turquoise in a fun way. I personally don't like the window design of your entry door, which also feels in competition with the home's style. So, I'd replace it with a frosted glass instead.

Hope this helps!

Love the ideas, thank you all so much!

I would love to replace the colums, adding a trelis or similar in the empty space, replace the porch lights, and would like to replace the porch tile. Have no idea why the driveway is so gianormous, but I will look into reducing- the size, it never occured to me, but as mentioned by responders it is overpowering. I also like the idea of painting the color of the house a bit darker color.

I may try to come up with a couple of different sketches to see what you all think, thanks again! Love all the feedback and ideas!
