Can you show the full front of your house from far enough back to see the yard, driveway etc.?

Could you post a photo from further back so we can see the entire house as it sits on the lot?

Not quite to scale, but you get the idea. I think your porch is high enough to warrant a rail. A simple 'farmer porch' would work. I painted your trim white and door blue.

I like that blue door color P Banos suggested. You could tie it in with your landscaping by planting a matching flower amongst the shrubs.

If the blue isn’t you, think of your favorite color or flower.

I added additional photos to help. I love the white pillars and railing, but we live in coal country. Do you think that we could use stained or would that make the house look too dark. I also love the idea of removing the shutters.

Love it.

The shadows under the front eave makes the facia appear sage green. I think that color goes very well with your siding and a red door. Really like that last mock-up from P Banos.

What color is your house. Some pictures it looks yellow and others it looks a light green.

II see you may be raising livestock. Otherwise, the chain link fence is too industrial looking for residential use. Check out Romabio to find a paint for the base of the columns and the block foundation of the porch. Then wrap the upper part of the brick columns with wood.

It is a creamy yellow.

We put the fence up as our neighbors (at the time) let their dogs roam.

If the dogs are no longer an issue, I would get rid of the CLF. They are ugly and industrial; they can often reduce the value of your home.

Thank you.

Personally, I do not like the railing. It looks better open like you have it. If you do railing, I would not put railing in front of the front door. It is uninviting and looks odd to me. Then add steps on the far left that go straight to the front door. When people visit you, how do they get to your front door? Do they walk around or park in front? Walkways and landscaping depend on this.

Anybody who had to deal with coal dust knows light colors are certainly out. My favorite with a yellow home is black. It is a nice contrast. I would paint the porch and shutters black. Leave the window trim white. If possible paint the soffit and fascia black. I would keep the screen door white and paint the door a turquoise. Black metal porch furniture with turquoise washable cushion covers. Navy instead of black would be my second choice with a darker red door. Personally I would put a railing on your porch for safety. CLF are not the most attractive, but they are sturdy and long lasting. People with animals like fenced in yards. I would grow flowering vines on some of the fence It would be a perfect place to grow bird house gourds if your into crafting.

Thank you. Company actually comes in our back door….which leads into our kitchen.
