ONly thewindow on the righ can have shutters and IMO would look odd for sure. So you do not want to change much at all so how about going to work on some fabulouse landscaping . I would not do black windows with all the brown you have How about white with a much wider trim in white or bronze windows and a dark bron like the garage door for the wider trim and then choos a really bright color for the front door anfd if tha is a white storm door do not use it get a good quality steel door and if you want a screen use a phantom . I would not do grids in the windows either I like front doors that are hidden to be a bright color and also have quite a lot of glass too. Please no stacked stone but some great plantings along the front . I love the deck entry BTW If you mean the stone work that is already being done then that is okay I would not think of that as stacked stone . I think you need to careful to not overpwer the house with too much stone work though.

Patricia, can you explain why we shouldnt do shutters on the other two windows?

Bronze windows sound nice thanks for the suggestion.

I agree bronze windows will enhance the appearance of your home.

Shutters do not belong on double iwindows and IMO the arhed window should not have a shutter ever . Where the arched window is the shutters even if you could get custom ones would not fit on that wall shutters need to look as if they could close and completely cover the window the same goes for the other double one not enough space . BTW have you thoght about a nice porch all across the right hand side IMO porches are always a welcoming look and especailly if deep enough for some seating. Is this a plot in the country with lots of space or in a town?

Definitely bronze for the windows. I don't think I'd add stone either.

Here's a quick tutorial on the how and why or why not of shutters.

I wouldn’t do bright white, rather bronze, taupe, or tan:

My last house was tan stone with taupe windows, I really liked them.

But black can look good with tans as well. It’s more of a statement, more dramatic, so it just depends on the feel you’re going for.

If you prefer a darker look, I’d go with bronze or dark brown over black. You’d still get a touch of drama, but it would meld better with your other elements and colors and not be such a contrast.

If you prefer a lighter look, any kind of lighter brown/tan.

Another vote for bronze.

here's my photo shop. bronze windows (I didn't do the arched one. and if you can, get the arch replaced w/a rectangle, or higher single window) .

I gave you a brick red door to go w/the roof, a darker brown wood look garage door w/windows, two diff lights, new address (wood and metal) and the best thing you could do for that blank spot in the middle is a Japanese Maple tree!

That would be the perfect object to place there. In a pot if you like. then surround the flower beds in diff shades of greenery. If you;re doing a dry creek bed, great!

I'd get a diff color or style door. wood, or an accent color would look nice

For the garage, you can add iron hardware, like shown here, to the door. you can also add in some window grids

Bronze w/bronze (or even copper color) gutters, and a soft white siding. (Shoji White would resemble this one:

Urbane Bronze is a nice color for the garage door, maybe the trim.

if you ever redo the siding or paint, these are some options

These are great Beth thanks. id adore a japanese maple hut unfortunately, our snow shed is far too intense to put a tree there, it would have to be some kind of plant that can withstand the snow coming off the roof in the winter. Inhave the beginning of a dry creek set up where our sump pump dumps out.

re: front door: i have picked a shade of red to paint it (Sherwin Williams Salute). eventually a wood front door with an updated window shape would be nice but budget wise and marriage-wise i’ll hold off on a new door I think.

new lights are on the docket as is a garage door, but since we are doing most of this ourselves it is slow and incremental

what if you put the tree in a container and moved it out of the way of the shed?? could that work?

I've had one in a pot for a decade now. I can still move it around. (although, in my climate it gets scorched during the summer (and it's mostly in shade! .

beth - im not sure how a container tree would do here we are at high altitude so indont know the first thing about decorative plants in containers here. i will research.
