Looks fine as is...but it could use some lights.




seriously...I'd say put something in front of the porch that has some color, but not to big, or is high maintenace. Something that blooms longer than a few days. I got some tiny flowers in the spring, put them in a box on the porch...and forgot about them...they are still alive and plenty of color.

Dredge out a 6" to 1' section on the left side of the driveway and get some stones or rocks with a few flowers behind to add some contrast and color.

I want to see more angles though.

Maybe some curbing to go along the drive way next to the grass and the rocks there. Or just edge the grass so it looks a little more uniform. Maybe its just that picture that makes it look un-even. I would like to see some more pictures like James mentioned.

I think that would look very appealing pulling up to the house.

Def some more angles would help ...

Also a very nice house.
