Congratulations on the new house, Laura.
I think the white of the shutters and the siding contrasts too much with the red of the brick....it makes the brick look cheap. I think houssan is on the right track...a dark grey or even a rich earth tone would be better than the white.
I also think the house would be improved by removing the horizontal hedge and adding a small deciduous tree in the front yard to break up the horizontal lines of your house would also help. Move the planting away from the house and vary their height.
The other images submitted all achieve these things.
Good Luck!
