Exterior Remodel Help Needed
Comments (1)Perhaps a decorative iron grille or piece of art. Something large in scale or a few medium sized ones. Ive seen the large iron grilles that look like windows or a cedar trellis to give that illusion....See Moreexterior remodel help

Comments (10)Not black--that's too dark and too harsh. When I look at this house, the first thing I see is the garage doors and then the light colored siding between the windows. The front door is invisible. I would pick a medium dark color from the bricks (or possibly a warm charcoal gray if you want a more "modern" color), and paint the garage doors, siding, and trim with that. Then I would pick a light, bright color for the front door. Then I would invest in landscaping, which you desperately need....See MoreExterior remodel help
Comments (8)First, pop those arch details out of the garage windows if they're removable. Then remove the shutters and the arched vent in the gable. If it is functional change to a rectangular one so you're repeating more of the modern elements on your home. Whatever you decide on the porch, the steps need to come out toward the street, and all your lanterns should be 1/3 of the front door's height. Upgrade the door from a builder's special to something with more glass and more of a modern vibe. Since the present gable on the left has such a low pitch and is so close to the front door, you may be better off to install a pergola rather than a gable over the new porch. It can extend all the way over the bay window and can be as deep as you want. Steps at the end of it by the garage will allow entry/exit from the drive when needed. The fence is a bit too colonial in style to me. Can you remove it? The landscaping seems a bit sparse; beef that up for a big impact on curb appeal. What color are you thinking for the siding? If replacing it, look into James Hardie pre-painted siding....See MoreRelated Professionals

Yes, remove the shutters.
Are those supporting posts? If so, then wrap them with beefy cedar cladding, plain, or if budget allows stone supports of cedar columns. Match the door to the columns--restain door you have to be lighter.
Or paint the door a light turquoise.

I agree with jck that you need windows on the side of what looks like a garage. If that's not possible then professional andscaping plans, which you should definitely budget for, should include that blank wall. Look how these deep beds extend the footprint of the house and porch. Consider a much wider walkway in the same stone as your stone façade.

Be intentional about the windows from the inside. Think about straight, less droopy curtains, or better long plantation shutters. Any new window frames should be bronze.

This kind of walkway/patio hardscaping in stone that matches your trim could extend your front porch and be part of a new landscaping plant.
