Since you are on a budget and really not sure about what grows in your area walk the neighborhood and see what's growing. I know if your neighbors have bulb plants they might be willing to separate some for you. Fastest and cheapest is just to tidy up what you have and paint the fence. It will draw the eye to that. Can just stain or do what I've seen others do and paint whimsical plants, trees, birds, animals on them. Good luck.
Veggie garden is nice . Go on pinterest they have good ideas . Fire pit wth setting, swing set for grown- ups or kids , out doors kitchen . These thing you can do with out spending a lot off money if you think of ways you can make thing yourself . Endless.
Try dividing up your yard into smaller, more manageable areas and give them different themes. Like, a raised veggie garden with stepping stones or peagravel for inbetween walkways. An other section could be a game area, like for badmitton or bocce ball. A barbque and picinc area. So on and so forth. The reasoning is to do a different area once a year so that you get to enjoy it and the whole yard will take on a more finished feel. You can spend more on each area on each project until your have what you want. Does that help any? We have half an acre so it's easy to get overwhelmed. That was such good advice that I am going to do it too!
You have a nice lawn so looks like you might want to just plant borders between your lawn and the fence. You could buy a few perennial plants (they come back year after year) Read the little info sticks in the plants a the garden center and put the ones that grow the tallest closest to the fence and the shorter ones in front. You may want to decide on a color scheme while dong this. Often times neighbors or friends who have mature gardens love to share their perennials with new gardeners. You can learn a lot from them and they'll know the plants that grow well in your particular area. If yu decide to plant a tree or two, remember to not plant them too close to your fence or house as they grow they may grow to large for the area. Plan it out and do it only once. I'd save annuals (flower only once) for potted plants if you like them.

I think a walkway, either pavers or wood chips, leading to a large firepit with seating would look great!
