I found the above ideas terrific. It's so nice when people offer their talents to help you! I'm not much of a gardener (although I do try), and grow milkweed to attract the butterflies (you have to clean them out each fall or they will take over your yard), have spring flowers that come up every year, a hyacinth that blooms in the backyard, and a hydrangea that is old, but, healthy, in the front. The rest I put in pretty pots so I can move them around. If you like wind chimes they can be very peaceful, and are easy to move around. I light up my yard with solar lights. A simple way to create a little oasis. I'm planning a little zen garden this year with a solar stone lantern I received for Christmas. Pretty colors and soothing elements are my best advice. Enjoy your new home!
I would build planting boxes to mount under the porch windows. Shelf brackets work fine for holding them and they can be taken down when it's time for new plants. The plants would be visible from the inside too. Paint some trim work to accent door and windows. All white is too boring to the eye.
Window Shutters would accent the spaces around your windows.
Kauai and Camille are right and add 2 urn flower pot at the door and a couple lanterns coming down the stairs. Add lace valances in the porch window with a candle in each porch windows and the other front window, giving it that cottage cozy look. Add a star over the left peak.
