I think some crawling ivy on trellis would be nice. Also, wall planters (in white) in between the neat arches. Those are really pretty!

You have a beautiful home! I'd just start by getting some color on it. You're fortunate to have such neutral brick, your choices are endless. If it were me, everything that isn't brick would get a coat of my favorite color.

Look to Santa Fe and Mexico for style ideas and adjust plantings to your local area.
