Picture of my home

Did you give this website a minute or two to "tighten up" the color on your pic? if it's still kind of gray or fuzzy and you hit "submit" the photo won't come through.

Small photo.. I'll keep trying...

Hmmmm.

I think you don’t get much oomph out of the narrow flower bed that sits between the walkway leading to your door and the garage. Don’t know what the budget is, but I would be tempted to hardscape that entire area — maybe super-nicest would be brick like the house but you could more easily do it nicely by adding 2 or 3 giant squares of concrete. So then you end up with one very wide entrance to your house (flowing from the short walkway that connects to the driveway).

I would then decorate that new hardscape by using your big container plants to add dwarf trees, realizing they would need protected in the winter (possibly keep some on wheels). Add other container plants, maybe some in colourful planters. Replant the small ornamental that is at the corner of the garage door into a container.

The local nursery can give you great ideas for the flower beds on the left side of the house. I would be interested to get some low creeping or droopy plants to soften the edges of retaining wall. Do pansies grow in your part of the world?

And I would take the shutters off the house!

Yup. Pansies in Indiana.

Is that St Francis in the photo? I would give him some birds to feed or a wolf to pet.

Updated photos with current perennials greening up. My thought was to add a row of Boxwoods, about 1' back, to mimic the curve. Would need to move yellow bush.
Thank you in advance for posting your ideas!
