It's a lovely giant porch (how deep is it so many options) and many options for the area off to the left where you have the rockers. I keep on looking at the door and given you have a tight budget I'd replace it to be more updated and yet still in keeping with the home. Plantings are inexpensive if you are going to do it and I don't see anything wrong with the stairs except it is bare on ea. side. If I had a limited budget and could do one thing now... I'd do the front door a lot of glass all white to POP the front.
Something very much like this yet your glass at the top would be clear and in the shape that exists as it would cost a lot to change the top portion to this style.
if you don't like clear glass there is privacy glass where it's like rain or heavy seeding so it is not straight glass. I personally like the clear and own it and just live with it.. never has been a problem.
You will get many options/ideas/opinions and SO MANY things to add a great look to the landscape and porch.... I keep on seeing the door and it's dragging the house down?
