Home is out on a lake with lots of different trees. Need to accent the approach around the house with inexpensive decor from junk, paint and thrift store finds.

    It sounds just lovely. Why not keep it simple and let the trees be the welcoming party? Use up-lights at night and have them well groomed and mulched. Use river rock and boulders as your accents.

    if you like it, it fits! old wagon wheels or metal tractor tires make great entry way decor; large wooden boxes stacked at odd angles, anchored together and planted with summer annuals for color; even old rubber tires make a statement https://www.pinterest.com/tateboystire/lawn-tire/

    We have a distant neighbor that decorated his yard with Rustic items from Gas ⛽️ stations! All types of signs ,gas pump and his mail box is a model A car. It Looks fantabulous!

    You could do some stumps w/mosaics or perhaps some different items( I’ve seen old sinks used as bird baths ) as mosaics.

    Some Critters made out of tires. A standing pallet garden .

    The key is to buy and place what you enjoy looking at and make it work.

    Paint it, mosaic , craft it , hang it, rope it, chime it, copper wire it, nail it Use plastic tablecloths for pillows, make sails for your porch , weave it, lol

    I wish I had a porch!

    I hope this gives you some ideas!

    Good Luck ☘️!
