House color should probably match the siding color Romabio offers these as standard, though they can be applied in a solid color. It might be interesting to have some of your brick show through the limewash to add texture to the house. Not totally see thru but enough so that it might hide any dirt that accumulates on the surface. Maybe upgrade the garage door in the future.

Hi Elle, Thanks for the suggestions. The shutters have more gray than they appear in the image But it is time to paint them again. Have enjoyed the blue-gray but I'm open to other color options. The brown roof is a new color addition, so a friend suggested I try brown shutters. Ideas?

Would remove shutters Would remove the current porch, specifically including two story front porch roof and columns as well as the brick pillars and posts in order to add a deeper (8') wrap around front porch beginning beside the bay window right of the front entry door and wrapping around the left side of the house ... adding porch to the side of the house at least to the first window ... and have steps on the side of the house aimed at the back yard ... using a hip corner on the shed roof there at the left front corner of the house. Since you have a second forward facing door (unless you want competing focal points for the front of your home ) you may want to de-emphasize the door by the garage -- having it visually disappear -- by painting that door and trim the same color as the siding Alternately, you might consider either ... Have that wrap around front porch roof extend all the way to the garage, including covering the bay window and second door beneath it, and then literally create another room -- a sun room -- enclosing the bay window within that sun room or changing it for French or sliding patio doors. Add skylights in that part of the porch roof over the sun room and second door to let in light that the bay window and window in the second door would have. Then you could have the exterior sun room door(s) exiting to the side(s): to the left onto the front porch by the entry and/or to the right ... Either toward and with a door directly into the garage, Or, if you extend the room forward beyond the front exterior wall of the garage and beyond the front of the wrap around front porch, you could have a door on the right exit toward the driveway and then you could create a forward facing gable over that front sun room. If you need the upstairs porch roof to shade that window, add it to set atop the shed roof front porch and even consider altering that window if it impedes adding the wrap around porch.

Adriana, Deer....argh!!!!! Now I'm not saying it's perfect, but this has been at least helpful: https://njaes.rutgers.edu/deer-resistant-plants/ And I like this nursery: https://www.bluestoneperennials.com/index.html It has a filter on it that lets you filter on deer resistant plants. In spite of what I am sure someone will quip...that there no such thing... there are some plants deer like less.  I've had experience with people who call themselves professional landscapers who have what seems like no training in art. And the wort mistake I ever made was hiring a nursery's landscaper. They were all about getting rid of their plants, not making my yard pretty.  Deer don't love daffodils, iris, peonies, hellebores, ferns, monarda, agastache, achillea, ornamental grasses, astilbe, creeping phlox, veronica... There are enought to keep you covered. Do you have the plan your landscaper made? You could use it to just replace what the landscaper suggested...tree for tree, shrub for shrub, flowers for flowers. Oh, a great evergreen shrub is the false yew, which comes in different forms to suit several needs. The real yew is deer candy.  You can also sort on plant zone, soil type, etc. Looks like you are getting lots of good advice. You really do have a beautiful home. Not a whole lot needed. Since you have to replace the door...making it lighter. Interesting idea to paint the remaining trim a darker greige. I think I like it.
