i should also mention I'd love a new front door!

Your problem is that you have too many shades of white/off white. The trim and shutters are taupe, the trim on the pediment is cream, the columns and area around the door are a bright white. The door doesn't go with any of the colors.

Your bricks probably need a wash, but it's hard to tell from a picture.

I'd paint all the trim and columns a warm cream. I'd pick a warm color for the door. Peach, perhaps? A light brown?

I'm not sure I'd keep the shutters.
