Here a link to the garage plans I'm looking at and I've attached a pic of my house. Do you think the two would look good together or not. The garage would be 30 feet or so away from the house.

There's two things popping out to me. Your house has a hip roof throughout. The garage is a gabled roof which is important for the finished office upstairs. It will probably be alright but it's something to be aware of. Are you considering a breezeway attaching the house to the garage?
The second thing is the posts. Make sure they design the garage posts to match the house or the garage will catch your eye from the street. You don't want your garage to have more curb appeal than your house.
