Lanscaping and exterior design improvement for new home

Hi all,

I just purchased a home about two months ago. Now that I am somewhat settled in and spring is here (kind of), I am wanting to work on exterior home projects.

I like the look of my home, but I feel it needs a splash of modern. I am unsure if this is the best section for my question. I am just wondering what I could do with accent paint, different lighting fixtures, door colors, or any other simple to intermediate project that I could do to the outside of my house to make it look better/more modern. There is just so much brown that it really needs something else IMO.

I know this is very general, but if this is our home, what would you do to the exterior of this house?

Here is a walk-around video. (sorry for it being sideways for some of it. Just noticed it)

We try to keep a single topic in one thread.
I know you asked about refinishing and landscaping but we'll handle them together. It saves having to ask a lot of repeat question. The thread can always be moved to a different forum too.

I'd rather see a few static shots. Maybe one from the street looking at the house.
