I don't know where my post went! so i'm reposting here, again! Attached is photo of the most recent update to the house. I'm having the back resided in vinyl to match the front and sides since it was the most weathered and neglected. The house has two basements, one door was replaced, the other used to have a garage door and was modified to have one steel door. I'm looking for inexpensive ideas to disguise the eyesore door until my budget allows me to replace that one as well. Thanks in advance!

I like your new door. You have a range of colors you could paint it. Is your house all siding or brick? Are the window frames wood that could be painted? I would take down the shutters. Some of the windows are just wrong plus the shutters are so pale you can hardly see them.

I think just darkening the posts and railing goes a long way. I tried making storm/screen door a matching green but couldn’t find your exact door which looks pretty so it just needs a Hunter green exterior paint job. I put a couple strips of grass. Some boxwood plants to hide foundation along with seasonal flowers. I put some crushed granite for walkways to give a more finished look. The driveway in front needs a good tar coating. Not sure if that is driveway or street? Hope this gives you some ideas. See if you can find a local artisan who can make a nice sign for you.

You have an acre of pavement in front of your house. Frankly, no house with a parking lot for a yard ever looks charming. And you have a less-than-lovely hose reel to water the plants you don't have. Tear up the pavement in the area between the garage and the chimney and plant some greenery. Make sure you have a shrub tall enough to cover the hose and pipes. The pergolas won't match the style of your house and it will just look odd, IMHO.
