Advice on Exterior Refresh

I’m updating this home and I am torn on a few elements. I plan to do a white mortar wash on the bricks and replace the windows. We just painted the exterior in white dove by Benjamin Moore and replaced the colonial columns with cedar columns.

  1. Should I remove the front door and side lights and put in a double door in its place? Is it worthy of the cost or should I simply replace the glass for the side lights and paint the front door? If keeping the front door what color should I paint it?
  2. Should I keep the shutters or remove them? Thoughts on wood shutters?
  3. Should I stain the columns or paint them? (Note, they are covered in paper at the top as my painter is still painting).
  4. Should the windows be white or black? I'm leaning towards white.
