For a small investment, staining the wood siding and shutter to a darker color would update your house.
Your photo reminded me of a couple of makeovers that we've featured recently, which might offer some applicable tips. Cameron MacNeil recently offered some advice about choosing darker window frames and shutters, for example, in this segment on curb appeal tips. The Young House Love photo gallery house also reminds me a lot of your place. Hope you find these inspiring! Lis.
