It looks like you need help with the bedroom. So, take better pics that are not fuzzy and the pics should show all 4 walls.

Also - what do you really need advice on? Paint color? Bedding? Curtains? Furniture layout? Etc...

A floor plan with dimensions indicating all windows and doors would also help to give you valuable suggestions.

Home improvements that make sense on an entry level house?

I wanted to do an update. We were wondering if we should do some updates on our home even if we planned to move in a couple of years. We decided to go ahead and make our home more comfortable and pleasant for use to live in. I realize we might not get the money back, but in the mean time we are enjoying our house a lot more. We got a new heatpump and AC a year ago, it cost $4,100. I noticed our electric bills have been lower and the system works very well. We also got the kitchen cabinets refaced, and all new full extention drawers and knobs. That cost about $4,500. We updated our old range and OTR microwave for about $1,000. We had done the countertops, backsplash, sink, faucet, and floor about 5 years ago. In the bathrooms we got granite countertops, undermount sinks, and new faucets, and put frames around both mirrors. That cost $2,000. My husband raised the height of the countertop in the masterbath and built a large drawer with an electric stip in it for my hair dryer and flat iron. I stained the cabinets a deeper color to finish updating the look. We had replaced the floors with heated floor tiles in a travertine looking tile earlier. Lastly, we replaced all the windows (I decovered several of them were mildly fogged). That cost $4,800. We also replaced a couple of ceiling fans. We paid cash for everything and I think we got good value for what we did. I am much happier with my home now.

The porch to the front door is too small. I'd enlarge it at least twice the size, so it's as wide as that portion of the house. Actually, larger than that because I'd take it clear over on the left to meet the garage wall. Cover the porch with a portico or gazebo-type roof. Move the yard lamp post to the left of where the vehicle is parked or get rid of it altogether. I'm a minimalist. I'd get rid of all the pots and things on the right side of the picture. Instead, I'd plant bigger things - flowering shrubs, maybe a small tree. How far does your property go to the right? The front seems cluttered and cramped. I'd plant the new things much further to the right to make the walkway to the porch seem wide open and welcoming. Do you have a back yard? I get the feeling you don't, which would explain why there are toys and lawn furniture in the front. Edited to add: for the porch roof, maybe it would be best to echo the shape of the garage roof rather than a flat gazebo-type.

vertical/board and batten for my basic contemporary home revamp

Take a look at the board and batten homes here. There are some good examples how to mix it up. I think you ideas sound interesting, although I would not do white doors. I am not a fan of the stacked small stone, If you do clad use a veneer that looks like stone that could be used to build a foundation. Otherwise, just stucco and paint to match your siding. This space uses a mix of siding.

I like the blue curtains. Get bedding in that color. The bed could use a headboard for more presence.

Dressers should not be next to each other. Maybe get one bigger one.

I don't see any artwork. Put up a picture you like.

You could use an area rug next to the bed. White would be nice.

It's difficult to see much of the room to get a good idea but here are some suggestions taking into consideration the colour of your walls.

- Give your dressers a fresh coat of white paint and unify them by using the same pulls on both, I show 2 options, 1) White finger pulls if your drawers can take them or 2) silver finish pulls. Or, option 3) no pulls at all depending on how the drawers are made.

- If you don't have one, get a headboard, I show an inexpensive rattan one

- A blue & green bedspread or duvet cover with propped-up pillows against the headboard

- Artwork you like picking colour from the bedspread

- White curtains, they could be with grommets, they'll look good on the rod (they should be hung higher up on the wall than what you presently have

- A natural fiber mat, I show a blue on with natural edge but could also be all natural.
