I really appreciate these suggestions and visuals - thank you! I will take pictures from some additional angles; the house is very boxy, and is currently one color of stucco all around, with one trim color (dark brown), with virtually no relief or break-up of that vast expanse of off-white stucco. I have been thinking about making the front porch body a shade or two lighter (or darker) than the body of the house to add a dimension/ depth; adding shutters to the 2nd floor windows is something I hadn't considered but helps add interest - thanks houssaon for that idea! Oh - there are no flower boxes on the 2nd floor - just on the outside of the enclosed front porch (which is basically the whole 1st floor you can see from this picture). OK, more to come soon - thank you for these suggestions!

I’m looking to paint out trim/doors to update it and help it look more modern. The white vinyl will stay. Eventually I want to build an overhang but for now - does any one have suggestions for paint color/pattern for the trim and doors?

I like the siding colors on this home above for your siding. It has interest and variety. Landscaping is sorely needed for you home along with a generously wide walkway. A stone walkway like the pic below only wider (at least 48 inches wide - probably need two stones side by side). I would use the red/orange in the inspiration pic for your front door. Or you could use the color scheme below. Both of these insp pics give a warm, welcoming feel IMO.

There are some nice colors from your stones. Pick color what you like. Or you can go with the same color as siding for garage door and bright one for entry door,
