Use the budget now to put get a landscape plan, and plan the trees and shrubs as soon as you can in your climate. The trees and shrubs are the only improvement that gets better (larger) every year on its own, so it's the first thing that should go in. You already have a good start although you may prefer a more natural look in your shrubs, rather than those clipped ball shapes. Hardscape (walkways etc.) can go in after the plants. Nice house. Is it brick all around or just at the front? I'm not a fan of the white bricks in your mix. I would paint or stain them a darker color to blend in. Your garage should be a color closer to the brick. If the front door is wood, don't paint it.

Thank you, everyone, for your comments! I guess we should remove the porch railing! Most of the aluminum storm windows are missing panes so I was planning to replace them with white vinyl when we paint. The windows are an uncommon size, though, so I'm a little worried about the cost. There are only a few original windows, but the "new" ones are from the 70s, so they're all old. All the windows are wood and painted white-- and they're ALL drafty and in need of re-glazing, which is why we need the storm windows! I'm adding a better photo of the front porch-- and the chickens. The color I picked for the front door is close to the color of the sky. sheepla-- is there also no hand rail on the steps of your porch? I'd love to see a photo!

Unfortunately I can not tell what colors , I used Photoshop. But what I read from Photoshop... You might want to try River Blue by BM or Dark Harbor BM

Thank you for the suggestions @ decoenthusiaste, @ Momofthree Ma and @ Beth H. We are on a limited budget, so we won't be able to replace the siding. Do either of you have suggestions on the best way to add window trim? Will we need to have someone remove part of the siding and re-flash the windows to do this Also, do you have any suggestions for what we could do with the steps? We don't have a budget to build a porch, but could make some minor mods to this structure. We will be adding some landscaping this fall.
