Add to the list- painting your driveway. It wears over time and actually begins to age the house. Looks beautiful in the beginning- later not so much. Too much upkeep. Just power wash the driveway! It’s a driveway after all.
I agree about the crown molding. It not only screams "old folks live here" but, to me, also makes the rooms appear smaller and the ceilings not as high.

Regarding the plain concrete driveways......I much prefer pavers which appear "richer" to me than painted driveways. But.....that is just my opinion.
