Oh Ranches, how I loathe you...

[Beth D.]

This house is a perfect rectangle. There is no even minor bump outs in front.. its so blah.

No covered porch (small deck to the front door). The siding and windows are all one peachy/tan color... I need ideas for curb appeal! I am adding flower boxes under the windows, putting up a flag, and maybe adding shutters... Any other ideas or < $500 ? Can I paint vinyl windows so add some color variation?

Thanks :)
