Consider adding a porch. You could add a shed roof over the two windows that are left of the door and enlarge the gable over the front entry door https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/4d/d7/ff/4dd7ff7baf6b81755d6978f31675cfc2.jpg or create a single large forward facing gable with its peak the height of the peak of the roof of the house http://www.qhremodeling.com/image/maichle%20front%20porch%20after.jpg or even create a hip corner shed roof. http://www.qhremodeling.com/image/maichle%20front%20porch%20after.jpg Budget permitting, changing out at least one or two of the windows would help. If you create the porch, you could change either the two windows that will be under the porch roof or change the window on the right that would not be under the porch -- you need not necessarily change all the windows -- this will depend upon what's behind them. A bay window could keep the approximate size and still be different or you could match the style but enlarge the size.

Please do live in it for at least 6 months and get to know your new space before making any drastic changes. You need to see how the light works inside and out, which rooms you like and which need a re-think, if the plumbing/kitchen/storage space/electrics or garden space need improvement or enlargement. Then employ an architect to help with plans if the budget stretches. Money spent on professional help is a very good idea indeed and cheaper in the long run.

I think a very pale aqua paint would look lovely with the pink accessories and the white furniture. It’s one of those colours that looks good as a background against many colours so it would be easy for you to update the room as your daughter gets older. Also I wondered if you can fit the bed against the wall with the headboard in the corner against the wardrobe wall, then the bedside cabinet (then the wardrobe), and put the chest of drawers under the existing butterfly picture, that would give some floor space for playing. You could also add an inexpensive rug. Here’s a picture of wall colour I was thinking of:

I do like the house Carolina found. I too had come across it during my research and it was one of my favourites. I’m not sure about the wood, however. It looks lovely new, but I suspect won’t weather too well. I 100% agree with ’E D’ - either subtle or extreme changes. When we first moved in we had quotes for a garage conversion... until we parked our car outside, under the tree... the birds use it as target practice so we use the garage. My plan had been to hire internal and external architects such that we had a plan for the whole house that would all tie together, even if we only worked on small components of the project at a time. Then the windows priority and COVID has rather thrown me! I had wanted to hire Back to Front Exteriors, but they are booked until spring, but could offer a couple of hours consultation once we have the internal architecture complete. I have spoken to RESI (online architects), but I get the feeling that to get the most out of them you have to have very formed requirements... something I don’t have. I’m more of a data person than a creative person, so I thought reaching out to the hive-mind collective may help! (If I can’t decide on window type, colour or opening placements it’s what hope is there!!!) Looking at Back to Front Exteriors I like the below from a concept perspective - an extension with a wider base than first floor. It would allow for a long window in the flat roof. The people before us converted the conservatory into a ground floor extension... but it isn’t really working for us; we use it as a dumping ground. I wouldn’t be adverse to sacrificing some of the dining room to make a better kitchen-family area (an island would be a dream, and anything that could make a north facing kitchen brighter would be welcome). Also, if the extension was pushed further along too I wouldn’t mind, as long as the dining room still retained a window. I have to be realistic - I only have a small garden and wouldn’t want a monstrosity extension. All I want is to make the house work better for us. It’s our dream house and we have no intention of moving.
