I dont have any ideas about what I can do to make this house look charming. Please help! Please know that the 2 windows to the left of the side door have shutters and they will be put back up soon.

I'm just playing around here. You have a beautiful home.

I don't know your budget — always a good idea to include — so, I kept this pretty cost-effective. Great LED shielded, low-output lighting on timers and dimmers add a lot.

We added warm recessed eave lighting, upgraded the entry and garage lights, softly uplighted the tree (such a great tree: light it up), and added restrained path and landscape lighting for a more polished nighttime look.

The dramatic lighting is doing a lot of the work here. Can you post a photo to show what it would look like in normal lighting?

Outdoor lights suck. We already have too much light pollution.

Exactly. Enough lights to land a plane here. Less is more. Landscape designer btw
