An arbor over the garage was my fist thought! I also agree that the Japanese maple (?) is in the wrong spot. Have it professionally move to the other side of the walkway farther out from the house. I had mine moved many years ago and it was money well spent.

Really nice house. There is some white from the fascia on the underside of the shingles of the porch roof but that's not noticeable from a distance. If, however, you want a bit less white, you could paint the fascia the same gray as is dominant in the roofing but leave the window and door trim white. Where is the driveway? is the building behind the house your garage? Really like the Hydrangeas. Grass seems a lot healthier with the season change and your care. Did you do anything to upgrade the steps and/or sidewalk? If not, you might consider cladding the steps with brick or stone pavers and outlining your sidewalk with stone as well, leaving the tops of the outline material ground level. https://www.google.com/search?q=facing+concrete+steps+with+stone&client=firefox-b-1-d&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiAs_qlwt_qAhXllHIEHUWkB3YQ_AUoAXoECA0QAw&biw=1366&bih=654#imgrc=5zN--r55-XLfwM You could then create a planting area along one side or both sides of the sidewalk or just outline the wider sidewalk with a planting of a low growing plant you like that grows well where you live (?Liriope?) . https://www.etsy.com/listing/804693762/liriope-flowering-grass?gpla=1&gao=1&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_us_low-low_d-home_and_living-outdoor_and_garden-garden_decoration-yard_art&utm_custom1=ee26f8df-d4da-4642-96a7-2daebcf72e89&utm_content=go_6721326423_78897197949_388267833987_pla-310643597252_c__804693762&utm_custom2=6721326423&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjaXg9cPf6gIV1MDICh2EPgheEAQYASABEgIzXfD_BwE

perfect house to do something like these w/the wood slat siding, black, gray, maybe some stone work. just depends. This one is similar I love the vertical black siding w/the horizontal composite wood siding. The stone work is optional. you could make that stucco and paint it this one is also Hardie plank and cedar siding
