Curb Appeal

We are currently working towards improving the curb appeal of the front of our house/the front porch. Our house is a rust- and white-colored brick that is meant to look like it was once painted white and the paint is chipping off. The rest of our house is cheap white vinyl siding. (We will have to deal with that later.)

The windows are oak so you cannot see cute white window panes or mullions. The windows just look dark and black, and all you can see is the black screens. The windows also do not have shutters. We already removed the cheap white plastic porch railing, and it already looks 100 times better than it did before, but it is still not great.

We went with a green wood stain for the shutters my dad made out of cedar. In addition, we bought a porch swing that we are about to paint/stain and install, and we also bought planters to put on the front porch to put flowers in. Hopefully the house will have a bit more curb appeal after we do these things.
