Help with our weird exterior - what colours & fence?

Hello!

This is Herbie.

Underneath all the metal cladding (installed in the 70s), she's a 1920s California bungalow. The old exterior is still visible inside the house where the old porch has been built in - very cute - but this exterior is just so flat and lifeless! And it needs a fence.


We're not game enough to remove the old cladding and go full-resto... so should we embrace the retro, almost queenslander vibes? Maybe add some striped awnings? Horizontal timber base boards and matching timber straight picket fence? Or do i pay homage to the period of the house and go for a woven wire fence?


We will be planting a big eclectic garden with lots of natives, grasses, succulents, leukodendrons etc


Thanks in advance :)


(ps. knocking down and starting again isn't an option at this point :) )
