Depending on how committed you are the the siding, I'd think about removing it and stucco-ing the whole facade. I'd change the paint color to a darker gray shade (and paint over the bricks as well), and probably also change out that garage door to something more MCM-friendly.

As others have said, landscaping with some dramatic/graphic larger plants will help lots, but I'd also remove the window box, and do a large concrete (or that look) planter along the front of the house (basically at the brick line), so that you have a little dimension, and can have some gorgeous plants with interest front & center.

Great post! Thanks AT!
