I need help with Curb Appeal

[Galen Bricker]

I just purchased this foreclosure and the outside is a bit underwhelming.  I would love to hear your ideas on how to make the curb appeal, well, appealing!  Any ideas on what to do would be helpful!  I'm not very creative and would appreciate your help.  What color should I paint the front door?  Paint the garage door?  Remove the long shutters, replace with shorter ones or just paint them?  Ideas on the concrete pad at the front door?
