*I hate the red painted stairs, the pillars are outdated, and I am struggling to imagine what would look good in place of the pillars. We want to replace the cement completely

With what? You need to phrase your question.

Didn’t realize the question was cut off. I fixed it.

I like either a simpler white railing or a nice black wrought iron with red brick.

For the concrete you could all one color - maybe do a stamped concrete and warm the tone up to match the stacked stone in your garden wall.

Good luck

Black iron would be nice, also change front door to black. And the mailbox.

and can you paint the downspout to match the brick so it doesn't stand out over the door?

This is a pretty house, could look great.

(And banish the gnome to the back garden)
