I’ve had several emails and comments asking me to show you guys a little peak into our home this Christmas…so, I’d like to oblige. This actually comes at the perfect time because 2013 will be our last year in our home, so these pictures will be a wonderful addition to my blog. I’m going to always want to remember my very first house…the house I bought when I was just 24 years old…the house I brought my babies home to. This isn’t just a house, it’s our home. Even though we’re not moving far…we’ll leave a little piece of our hearts here. So, come on in! It’s Christmas at the Shulls’ house.
Mix and Match headquarters…recipe planning and vacation researching goes on in here every day!
I have a full sized tree in here with me…along with my favorite Christmas music. A girl has to be happy while she works!
Our dining room
Family room
Our family room tree
Our breakfast room (and Poppy’s orange toy on the floor!)
My kitchen :). I hang every one’s Christmas cards on my pantry door and then across my cabinets. This way, I’m always looking at my sweet friends and family.
Our advent calendar we bought in Belgium.
My guest bath
My favorite room is Kensington’s. It’s just so cozy in there! It’s happy, cozy and warm. Plus…my very favorite little girl hangs out in there all the time…it’s my favorite place to be.
Kensington has a white tree this year.
Smith’s room (he’s usually hanging out in Kensington’s room with her!)
We framed one of Andrew’s college football jerseys. This one is from his senior year in college (we were engaged) when he was captain of the team and they won the Big XII championship. Very cool.
Smith’s tree is gold with multi-colored lights.
A Detroit Lions football signed by everyone on Daddy’s team.
We use our 4th bedroom as a play room for all of the toys.
Mine and Andrew’s room
My bath.
That’s it! This is where the Shull family lives. We love our cozy little house and the wonderful memories we have there.

How do you keep your little ones from pulling ornaments off the tree? I have a 2 year old.

Just where do you think you're moving to? Better still be a McKinney address!

What style would you call you have in your home? I'm horrible with design and know your mom is an interior decorator! Just curious what it would be considered? Looks so cozy! Thanks for sharing Shay! Merry Christmas! xx
Mix and Match Mama says
My style is Country French…lots of pillows, books, accessories, framed pictures and I like my furniture to be eclectic. I really love the designer Charles Faudree…my mom and I both look to him for a lot of inspiration. Merry Christmas!

I think putting the cards on the cabinets is such a great idea. I've seen a lot of ways to display them, but that has to be one of my favorites.
And I love your family's stockings! They are awfully adorable

Thanks for sharing this personal peek into your beautiful home; it looks so festive and elegant! That is so exciting (bittersweet, too) that you are building your own home. Custom home building is one of my passions (I was a project manager prior to having my babies)so if you want to talk about anything during the process I am happy to help.
PS – Any updates on Andrew making a guest post? Think he could put together a post about HIS favorite things for those of us still struggling to shop for the men in our lives? XOXO
