Well, you know I just adore any opportunity to…
…switch up my bar cart 🙂 .
I bought my bar cart last November and have had THE BEST TIME making it seasonal. I know that probably no one else but me notices it, but boy, it makes me happy. Should you be in the market for a bar cart, I LOVE MINE! It comes in both gold and silver.
You don’t have to have a bar cart though to use the same ideas here…you could make your coffee area seasonal, your pantry shelf, your kitchen table…just a little area dedicated to seasonal touches. I found most of my decor around my house and only added some new spooky glassware to finish it off.
Here are some pics of my happy place…
Let’s pause for a moment to pay tribute to this amazing combination.
Dry Roasted Peanuts + Candy Corn = taste like a PayDay Candy Bar.
Easy as that! A candle, some candy, a few fun glasses, and lots of boo-tiful fun!
Happy Friday, friends! xx

Dry roasted peanuts and candy corn! 100% yes! Love your seasonal bar cart – very inspiring for upping my seasonal game. Thank you!

Hey Shay. Awhile back you did a post on how your alcohol is locked up and the kiddos couldn’t get to it without an alarm going off. How do you manage the alcohol on the bar cart as it’s readily available? I have littles so I don’t have to worry about that. I’m assuming with teenagers it’s more of a concern? Thanks!
Mix and Match Mama says
We do have our open containers locked up with an alarm. These bottles are sealed and then the decanters are marked which for now, seems to be working as we haven’t had any issues.
Mandy says
Adorable! Where did you get those stemless Boo wine glasses?
Mix and Match Mama says
A little boutique in our town. Isn’t it cute?
Alicia Gordon says
Super cute! I have a coffee bar and I never decorate it for the holidays but this makes me want to start! I feel like if I put out the candy already my husband and son would eat it all! Lol
Kay says
Your bar cart updates make me so happy!!!! I love any excuse to use seasonal decor. My coffee bar always has fall (and then Christmas) decorations and seeing it every morning makes my day happy.
I am seriously wowed by your candy corn-peanut mix. Genius. I mix candy corn with popcorn for sweet-salty but have never thought to put it with nuts.
I’m assuming your dogs also have seasonal collars? Am I alone in this? 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
Bahahaha! Well, they used to, but it was too much for me to keep up with (swapping the tags with each collar), but there was a time when I attempted it!

Love your kitty. Do you mind sharing from where you purchased it? 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
Sam’s!!!
Cindi says
Shay, your cart looks very cute! But I’m wondering if you always have your alcohol on display, or did you put the bottles out just for your pictures? When we had teenagers in our home, we made sure not to have alcohol so easily accessible. Our girls were “good kids”, but we all know even good kids can be curious, tempted and rebellious at times! (Ours had their moments, for sure!) I’m truly asking out of concern, not judgement! ❤️
Mix and Match Mama says
Great question! All of the bottles you see still have the seals on them (not opened) and then, we have the decanters marked. We haven’t had a reason not to trust them…but they are teens and teens are pretty stupid/impulsive/dumb sometimes.

I just love this!

For the ones who don’t drink alcohol, a coffee bar would be so cute too!! And I know it’s hated on a lot.. but I LOVE the candy corn!! 🤗
Janet Teeter says
Can you tell me about the candle (scent/brand)? I love your little touches to small spaces🧡
Mix and Match Mama says
That is Pumpkin Waffles from Bath and Body Works 😉
Deena says
We’ve been mixing candy corn & salted peanuts for a while and love it but dry roasted sound tasty also! I love your glasses! 💀👻🎃
Jill says
I don’t dare have a bar cart with 3 teenagers in my house. How do you keep teens out of yours?
Mix and Match Mama says
The bottles are unopened and still sealed.
Heather says
Ok I have never thought to mix the peanuts and candy corn but I am all about this now!
