Hi Donna,
Well, you now have a nice, clean slate to work with!
Try to group the Azaleas together in masses of at least three, preferably five or more. You can do the same with Rhododendron, or use them singly as accents, ie., at the corners. Before you make a firm decision on these plants (which I happen to like), consider your sun condition. Is it very hot and sunny all day? These plants need some shade to do well. In addition, do you have deer? The deer love these plants. Assuming you have no deer and have some shade....
I couldn't tell from the picture how deep your bed is. If you have some room, consider using perennials in front of the Azaleas or Rhodos. Fountain Grass, Catmint 'Walkers Low', Lavender 'Hidcote', Salvia, Coneflower and Lady's Mantle are some that come to mind. This will give you lots of color!
Think about adding a taller shrub at the corner. A Lilac Bush would be pretty, if you have the room. Also, I think some flowering ornamental trees would add some needed height. Perhaps a Star Magnolia at the start of the walk (on the left side as you approach the house) would look nice with a Dogwood tree at the other house corner. Another idea is to add either three Dogwood trees or one to three Red Maples in the lawn.
