Fall decorating in the foyer

I am still Fall decorating, and have moved onto the foyer.
Funny thing is by the time I complete the Fall decorating, I will have to turn around and decorate for Halloween. My boys love it when I do!
I believe I kept Fall pretty simple so I can incorporate it in the Halloween decor.
Let me start with this table makeover. You see this is going back sometime here when I was throwing Alex his disco party, I was also doing projects.

Not happy with this color whatso ever on this table. I had to brain storm and figure out what color would work.

I started thinking of some accessory changes I have had throughout the year,

and I remembered my favorite color that was on that wall was red.
Not typically a red furniture person, I decided to go for it.

The original color to this table was just a simple brown with a little patina to it.

I really want to replace this table. All these years, I still have not found anything else, I would like more in it's place. We have so much wood, I think the iron is a nice add in the room. Plus it has that Spanish look that we so love.

I forgot to take a picture of the spray paint, yes I used spray paint. It was the kind you use for industrial machinery, etc...like tractors and such. Love the color! I believe it was by Krylon.
Now let's see what it looks like dressed up for Fall shall we.
This is kinda of a two in one post, and a mini project thrown in as well.

Started with this cute little Walmart $7.00 owl...

He too like Mr. Squirrel needed some eyes, and a fresh color.

ASCP (Provence)

Love him!

I love using natural elements from my own backyard.

This was a long post girls. Thanks for baring with me on this.
I had the original table post in my archives, and not to be redundant I threw in the Fall one too.

Tween room B & A party LINK UP!

Hi Everyone, we are still on vacation and having a blast. Heading out to Miami today! Tomorrow the kids are going with their Grandparents over night and Mike and I will have one day to ourselves, in fact we are staying an extra day just so we can do that! My Parties will be going on this week, and the first one coming up is Wednesday, so get your party hats on!!~ Here is my mine for the week. I will be catching up when I get home later on in the week, I sure miss visiting you all and seeing what you are up to! Mr. Linky will go up Monday night.
When Alex left for camp his room was a disaster. He is just about 13 years old now, and most of the time a royal slob. Anyone else have this problem? Or had that problem? He truly does not care. Well anyhow, while he was gone his room was cleaned from head to toe. You see the little red M? Well that M is what caused all my garage troubles...read here if you missed it. At this age I really do not know what more I could do to his room. I like to keep it light hearted personal to him along with a few inspiration words here and there. The picture over his bed I adore, and it really describes my son as is. I bought that at Garden Ridge last year. Here is a tour of a tween room.

Alex had a great time in camp. Such a good time that he can't wait to go back next year. Jack wants to go too.....can you imagine both my boys gone for a week...Mike and I can actually take a little get away ourselves....it was great experience!! This is what his room usually looks like........

Here are a few of his special things.......

I love this picture shadow box...this is Alex on his second birthday, I remember it well...he sure loved to eat that kid....he still does! That was his only complaint regarding camp, not enough FOOD!

I love this inspirational wall art....I bought it at Marshalls last year for $3.00....I will have a close up at the end for you to read.

This wall art was my inspiration for his room transition last year when I bought his new bedding. Which is all from Belk, Ralph Lauren, and it was all marked down....all the bedding, and the pillows included was under $100.00. Sales, Sales and markdowns.

Trouble Maker M.........no more red for me....I told you it really is NOT my color....it is so firey!

These stars are from Lowes hardware they where for outdoors, I bought them for 10.00 a piece.

I added the red pillow on his bed, bought at Walmart for 6.00.

He actually smiled for me....just because:) Have a great day everyone...and thanks for stopping by to see me.
Thank you for participating in my B & A party. Because I am still on vacation, I will be making my rounds to come visit shortly when I come home. Have fun, and remember to link back to me so that others know about the party. I am also joining a few other parties this week. Thanks so much for hosting.
