I was also going to suggest a trellis over the doors. However, you'll need a well-behaved vine that will not climb underneath the laps on your siding (don't use crossvine or ivy). Carriage style doors with hinges and handles (decorative...we have them). A tree placed as SH shows is another good landscaping idea. We have cultured stone as our foundation...I wouldn't use it on one side only. It's best used to wrap around the front and sides with it...and that gets costly, about $19 sf around here installed. May I also suggest that you paint your garage doors the same color as the body of your house instead of a trim color. That way, the doors blend with the sides of the house. Rather than a circular drive, you could put a guest parking space on this side of your parking pad. In other words, pave/cement a car width on the front side, but still lined up with the side line of your house. Then you could put up a little fence and gate to "greet" guests and direct them to the front door. We did something similar, only we have a small island of landscaping between our guest parking pad and our parking pad. Cameron

If it juts our just a bit, that is fine. I guess I am trying to achieve a more balanced look. I knew this would be a challenge with these sectional pieces. I could not go with a loveseat sofa on the left(like I did on the right side) due to space limitations with the entertainment center. If i had, I could be more flexible with the cocktail table.

The arch and stucco type seems to speak to a mediterranean or spanish style home. My theory is to not fight with the bones of a house. I would go with a smaller scale spanish-style fixture that fits closer to the ceiling as you do not have much height to play with. I would keep them consistent (not necessarily the same) but if you go with a darker bronze finish keep it consistent. Keep in mind the scale of the room when choosing the fixture. A really small room need a light fixture that is to the scale of the room.

If it were me, and budget allowed it, I'd replace the door and the sidelights with a solid door for safety reasons, and you can match the period of the house. If that's not your concern, then how about just a roll-up shade mounted on the door to cover the glass, and then uncover it when you want the light. Or match the nice sheers you have. I would NOT want anyone to see in through my front door, but maybe that's me, and certainly would depend on the neighborhood you live in.
