Ed - Would love to share my home plans sometime. I'm a lawyer, not an architect. But my degree before law school was in marketing and I did graphic design for a while, so I've always liked the creative process of drawing something useful and aesthetically pleasing.

Minneapolis/St. Paul is a great place. I visited there for work one September several years ago. I arrived wearing shorts and a t-shirt and was totally comfortable. The next morning, I walk from my hotel over to the Minnesota World Trade Center fully dressed in a suit and overcoat and was still freezing from the wind.

The front of your house reminds me of one that I considered for my lots with multiple garage doors facing the road. I've attached a picture. I think yours would similarly benefit from some plants in between the garage doors like this one has, or other landscaping in the motor court area. A splash of color to break up the hard facade of stucco and concrete. Just a suggestion. Anyway, you've done a great job on it!
