Blueberries would probably work. They are attractive year round. You need to make sure you have acidic soil. Blackberries will want to grow much taller and look a mess. Raspberries probably wouldn't look so hot either and you'd put a damper on production if you tried to keep them pruned that low.

oldbat2be, thanks for the compliments and the photoshopping! My architect might make timberframe style work in the front, but it is a bit of a stretch! While there will be a bump out on the front (16' section will be 4' deeper than the rest of the overhang), I don't think it's enough to carry off the timberframe look. It's hard to tell from the pic, but there's plenty of vertical space to give the gable a good pitch without interfering with the windows. When we replace the windows in a few years we'll give them substantial trim, but still no shutters. And, yes, we've got a nice solar system, and the power company now pays us, instead of the reverse! :) Annie, I just love your house. The exterior has architectural interest without looking confused. Just lovely. And no maintenance: that's the holy grail!! laughable, I didn't know you could get a freelance aluminum wrapper, interesting! However... DH seems reconciled to a little exterior work. While not willing to spend so much on Azec as to go whole hog, he's thinking about a hybrid approach, which is what we did on the back of the house. So probably Azec wrapped beefy posts, composite decking, and then painted railings and spindles. At least all the painting will be at a nice height that way.

I'm no expert but I think you're right, you probably want to keep the garage door matched closely to the brick around it so you don't highlight the garage. I think the bright white on the front door looks nice but maybe to make to stand out more a different color would be fun, but yeah, not red, lol! Ok, I'm no help but hopefully my comment will bump it up.

Those selections won't work for your front door. Those are interior door knobs/levers. You need a lockset for the front door and you have to know whether you want a mortise or tubular set. If you take close up pictures of your current door, lock, and the jamb, a local hardware place would be able to tell you what you need.
