Thank you very much...some pretty colors to think about! I'm also really hoping someone with remodeling knowledge has some ideas for changing the look of the house itself a little. I just keep looking at it and can't seem to think of what could be done. Anyway, thanks again! Really appreciated.

love what celery did. it's perfect. do a grayl roof, and dark gray trim along the fascia. BM Wrought Iron. you can do white elsewhere if you like , or stick w/the dark gray you could always add cedar by replacing the fence off to the far right. cedar will need to have a coat of a UV protectant, otherwise it will turn gray. Try Penofin oil, Marine finish in the cedar color

Although it doesn't show well in the photo, I get the impression the railing on your porch is way oversized. And the hedge below it needs to go. Painting all the vertical corner trim on your house white is boxing it in. It stops the eye and squares up all the different parts of your home's facade. I would also eliminate some of the white below the 2nd story windows and above the garage door. You could use some lanterns flanking the garage and front doors. They should be 1/3 the height of the front door in all locations. Have a professional limb up the tree. It is pretty but is overtaking your home's curb appeal. Can you get better pix of the porch and front door for us?

Do you like a front patio I would not . IMO a new garage door in wood with windows , I like grayed / greens with brick this is one of my faves for color anew front door to match the siding and you could do something like the garage door in the pic I love a walkway from the street to the front door and in your case it would be awesome through those trees . Then a new landscape plan and I would not do a front patio and my bet not HOA approved either
