My house has some hail damage to the siding plus I need to change the upper level windows. I was wanting to add some peaks or dormers just to upgrade the exterior look. Could anyone help me. thanks

Thank you everyone for your comments. I’m sorry I’m just posting now but I didn’t realize I had any responses, let alone so many! No the house isn’t a flip. We used to have a huge 1920s Mediterranean and its just the two of us, so we decided to downsize. We purchased this home because of the size and location. At the time this pic was taken we had just completed the siding and were in the process of painting. I don’t like the driveway encroaching on the walkway/patio, and it’s the main problem I am trying to solve. I love everyone’s ideas and suggestions. We would love to add a porch but can only build out 3 feet from the concrete pad. We are planning to expand out the 3 feet though and possibly add columns. I agree we need something vertical on either side of the door and hadn’t considered hanging plants, which is a really inexpensive and simple solution! I did purchase very large stepping stones for the walkway since I like the modern look. Thank you again everyone. And btw, the interior was completed first and it is beautiful. This home is the perfect size and location for us. We have a gorgeous view of the intracoastal and are very happy here. I will post pics when the exterior has been completed. Cheers!

@Indecisiveness, sorry if unclear. First pic are color samples described in the message.

Your house has nice proportions, very nice walkway and lamps by the doors, etc. I agree the color of the front door could be improved. Brick color is okay. The "y" pieces at the top of your columns are odd -- could you simplify them to be more plain white, straight up and down?, such as these: For your landscaping, do you want to maintain the shrubs in their rounded form -- that means trimming them every year. If so, they're okay; and the edging looks nice and neat. I'd tuck in a few tulips or daffodils around the feet for a bit of early color. If you want more help with landscaping a picture from a bit farther back would help people get an overall sense of your front yard.
