Yeah, I was going to say trellis, too. (I would have just stuck it in the ground and pulled it out, but hinges are cool.)
Congrats on the house! (Welcome to the adventure. 8>) That's a pretty tree off in the background, too.
The first thing that jumps out at me is your dark dark sunny sunny roof, with all that warm snuggly brick. So if I had just bought this house, the first thing I would be doing is planting to get summer shade on the roof and the east/south/west brick, as well as winter sun on the south. (Hint: deciduous.) I can't tell from the photos which way this wall faces, but I think that will matter in choosing the plants. (Don't forget the sun swings south in the winter, maxing at Dec 21, which is sorta soon even though it doesn't feel very wintery.)
Those completely blank walls are kinda of interesting for landscaping. Mostly when we put things close to the house, we've working around doors and windows, so there are some conventions we're used to see about height and patterns. But you've basically got a blank canvas. The wall is just giving you a background. It all depends on your taste, and you'd want to take into account the distance, where people will be viewing it from, how close you are to the edge of the property, etc.
Your house has such open surroundings, I think I might be inclined to make sort of a little diorama scene. Get rid of the neatly parallel bed and edging, and use shrubs and your trellised vines to kinda of build a little rounded half room (extended further from the house at the ends, and connecting to frame the focus at the top), centered on maybe a sculpture/water feature or really cool rock or some fantastic flowering specimen. So instead of just being the end of the house, it would be this neat little exhibit room.
Anyways, have fun. You've got soil and sun and water, so lots of possibilities. Show us some pictures as you go...
