BlueKat76 put down that reddish color mulch when they redid their front bed. I usually don't like the dyed mulches, but the color did go well with the brick on their house. However, a year or two later, she can't wait to change out the mulch because she is finding it limiting in terms of what plants look good in that bed.

Can you dig down into the dirt in the front yard? I wasn't sure if you'd be able to plant there directly in the existing soil or if you'd have to make raised beds.

I like the idea of using 2 colors on the door, and you might think about bringing those same 2 colors to the trim on the porch roof... some sort of medallion over the door might work too, if you can find something that suits your style.
