Start with the roof (which looks like it needs to be done). After you've got that installed, you'll know what you are working with. Architectural? Color? If your budget allows, possibly do a metal roof (or at least over the porch); that will drive the follow-on decisions. Then, BEFORE you do anything else, remove the overgrown shrubs in front of the porch to open it up. It looks like you have siding. I'm not a proponent of trying to paint that, and not sure that you want to reside your house... so if you are going to work with the current siding, I'm partial to a dusty blue with some crisp white trim/gutters/garage/porch -- and you can go for a more dramatic hue of blue for the door.

@Millalm yes, he does have a point lol! His suggestion is to use the diamond only on the back wall, and then leave the granite border under the pass-through and also leave the 4” border on that very awkward wall that separates the kitchen from the dining and living space. That wall contains the panel. I wish it could be removed, but it can’t, sadly. I am not sure how I feel about leaving the granite border under the pass-through and on that left wall. You can tell this has my mind going in circles lol! So many decisions and factors to consider. I appreciate everyone’s feedback. Truly!!

Is the paint color an off white (cream)? If so, you color options are basically endless, depending what color your roof is or if you have any brick or stone on the house. When choosing paint colors for my house a couple of years ago, I kept in mind the color of stone on the front of my house, the brick on my chimney color, and my green roof. I then went to Behr's website and played with color combinations and found something that both my husband and I agreed on. With the color of your house in mind and what looks like a dark roof, maybe black, there are so many color combinations you could go with. Here are some photos for inspiration: I absolutely love the colors on this house. More importantly--What colors do you and your family love? Next is a photo of my house since I could not find any other photos that would suit your house on Houzz. I chose paints from Behr Marquee and the house color is Taupe Tease, trim is Superior Blue (my husband's favorite color), and the doors are Fire Cracker Red (my favorite color): All 3 colors work well together and work with the roof, brick, and stone colors as well. I also chose colors that no one else had in our neighborhood.

Oh MY word........ Please ditch that rug thing? Get him a pair of garden knee pads, and put them out there where you store the wood! Those things are sooooo old lady: ( That's why you only find them in fireplace stores and LL Bean. Nobody wants them. You're not old enough either. You can hide these right in that little log carrier. You can hide a simple kneeling pad in it too!! Either! https://www.amazon.com/BeGrit-Gardening-Protectors-Protective-Scrubbing/dp/B07M7S4VMB/ref=sr_1_36?gclid=Cj0KCQiArozwBRDOARIsAHo2s7uxphOrpOqubH_dPdWowWU__qhxUrAVfIJ6zdffoN2Vr-5PRqvJxoUaAgHIEALw_wcB&hvadid=323322139108&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9005654&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t2&hvqmt=b&hvrand=15207581416573093648&hvtargid=aud-836690481282%3Akwd-296171421340&hydadcr=23318_9903865&keywords=best+gardening+knee+pads&qid=1577273521&sr=8-36 link to kneeling pad https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TBYZSKG?aaxitk=9zFH7i03z7xGYkv.K3b8oQ&pd_rd_i=B07TBYZSKG&pf_rd_p=591760d1-6468-480f-9b10-0ee9c85706fd&hsa_cr_id=9918372180501&sb-ci-n=asinImage&sb-ci-v=https%3A%2F%2Fm.media-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FI%2F91rkfxd3j-L.jpg&sb-ci-a=B07TBYZSKG
