    On a budget? What is the budget? Paint? & landscaping obviously needed. The house has nice lines, I like it & I think the windows are interesting, but maybe in another color. Landscaping is dependent upon where you live, somehow your house looks like a modern landscape design would be appropriate. I'm not sold on the roses idea, especially if planted in various colors. Can't really see what the entry looks like, but I would enhance that.

      I would start by planting rose bushes in front of the house to add a colorful threshold, then work on the pathway by adding texture with pebbles or bricks.

      You already have some nice trees. A professional landscape plan would be a good idea. If that's not affordable now, I agree with Kol that rose bushes would be colorful.

      Do you like the blockiness of the white -trimmed windows?

      No i do not like the blocks & I may get a quote from landscaper.. they have rose bushes planted there now, (previous owner) but not spaced out or growing right. :/

      Paint & Landscaping is what i was wanting to do and enhance entry way. But wasn't sure of colors or brick pavers or what?

      I would add some landscaping to the middle of the large area of grass. A small crape myrtle, with some bright colored bushes. I've seen driveways like that where they do this and it looks really pretty. If you go to nurseries you'll find better deals on shrubs and trees.

      I would create a flower bed along the front of the house and plant more bushes and some flowering plants. Ask your nursery what's best for your area.

      If possible, I'd paint the right side of the hose. A more gray/beige color, it looks pink now.

      Also, give those existing trees a trim. They are a bit over grown. They need a bit of maintenance.

      Good luck

      What about the door? What would be a good color? Trees are getting trimmed up as we speak. I am in Zone 8, Louisiana so I was thinking of a sugar kettle in the center with flowers around it and later add a fountain inside of the kettle. Example pic

      I'd focus first on emphasizing the entryway. It gets a bit lost with the large expanse of lawn. What you do depends on your budget. A landscape plan that you could implement over time would be worth the money.

      paint the door a mustard yellow, paint the right side of the house white to match the window trim, install white/light bamboo shades inside all windows so they match from outside. get rid of downspout near the front door. landscape for color.

      First photo. Remove all the plantings from the front (includes the two large bushes on the ends). Now remove all the sod between the house and the driveway. Add a wooden "deck" right over the existing concrete (remove "step" portion). Deck should run from the right edge of the multi-pane window to the left edge of the triple windows on the right. The deck should extend from the house to the driveway. This will provide a more welcoming entrance. Amend the soil and install a combination of very low growing evergreens starting at the drive and progressing to tall grasses closer to the house.

      You have a very wide house, it needs 4 downspouts for good drainage, properly pitched. One at each end, one just at the left end of the multi-pane window, one just to the left of the high triple window.
