Need help on Exterior of our home
We would love your ideas & suggestions on the finishes of this home. Around the windows do we put shutters (if so what style/color) or frame out around them (if so what style/color) On the pillars, should they be boxed out bigger or add another pillar? Also should they stay stained or be painted/what color? New garage door, what style & color? also should trim around the hardy shingles above the garage, entry, & bedroom window be painted a lighter or darker color? the roof color is brown, sorry it doesn't show as we had a lot of snow...Thank you, your help is greatly appreciated.

Next I'd beef up the columns so they become roughly twice the width and depth that they are now.
Wrap them in either the same material as front door or something you can paint in the same overall color. The garage door looks Purple....? Paint the Garage door and the trim just below the roof line all in an almost-black shade of the face of your house, or, of the door and column color.
To finish it all off I'd recommend that you add shutters just to your picture window. These can be the same color as your garage door. At the left facing side of your house below the smaller window, plant a grouping with one tree or bush and some lower growth. For instance, one red maple to the left of the window just a few feet and positioned about 6-7 feet out from the house. This will add some needed volume to that window without crowding it with shutters.
At some point in the future I'd consider turning the from foot path so that it joins the driveway, or widen it.
