Exterior Makeover for 1980's Colonial - Ideas Needed!

Hi - One of my close friends is looking for suggestions on how they can update the look of their current home. They are not looking to do any major renovation work to the exterior just enough to bring it up to date and give it a more modern look and feel.


My current suggestions to them are:

1) Replace the windows and change the grill pattern (any specific grill pattern?)

2) Remove the front door and storm door and replace with modern craftsman style door

3) Replace both garage doors with carriage style doors (any specific pattern come to mind?)

4) Add new lighting fixtures over garage and next to front door ( what types of fixtures?)

5) Keep Shutters or remove them?


**What does everyone think of this? They need some inspiration to update the look of their house.


Any advice much appreciated!
