House exterior photoshop suggestions need
My new house has such potential but needs some major curb appeal help to cute it up!!! ;-) Any ideas and suggestions are welcome and a photoshopped pic of your ideas would be a dream come true. My initial thought are new paint in the grey, blue or green family. Maybe one shade on top and another shade on the bottom? Shutters on the 1st story windows and a railing on the front porch. Its basically a blank slate right now but I just know it could be just lovely given the the right changes. Thanks in advance!!!

I would update the columns to maybe a tapered or even a round style sitting atop a nice brick or stone column this will dramatically help with the massing think about adding a stone or brick wainscoting on the two front areas and yes maybe some shutters added to the right side. Here's a picture of something close although the layout and design is a little different.

hace 6 añosYou did not mention budget but I believe the most thrifty changes can be made be reworking the landscape hardscape.
Too much paving can make your home look like a commercial building. I would reduce the width of the center walk to the width of the entrance. Remove some concrete on the left for a planting bed to match the right side.
Remove shrubs that are blocking the porch. I would grow low plants only in that area.
Double posts or single but wider posts would be an improvement. I show a simple panel post more lined up under the gable.
The double window on the right is not suited to shutters.

hace 6 añosI think shutters on double windows are just fine and in-fact are quite common on home designs like Sarah's. Sarah you have a great platform on which to build off of, it will just come down to what looks best for you and your budget.
Hers another picture of similar design style to your home showing more brick, larger doric column on a brick/stone base and shutters on well trimmed double/triple windows, adding a little massing/balance to the front.

hace 6 añosThe biggest thing I notice is that you no longer have a garage on the left, but there's still a big driveway leading to it. I'd take PPF's suggestion to cut the cement back at least five feet, so there's room to plant some shrubs and other decorative plantings there, while making a more natural (maybe rounded) end to the driveway. I like the idea of porch railings, but not of shutters. Beyond that, biggest bang for buck will be filling up your empty beds with more than token tufts of green -- I'd take out all the mulch and put in a ground cover, if nothing else, to add life there.
Here's the landscaping plus:
And here's a change of color in the direction you are considering, which I'm not sure is worth the expense:
