Happy Monday, friends!
I hope you all had the BEST weekend!
Last week, we had Lovejoy’s homecoming and this week, we have Boyd’s. Two full weeks of Hoco fun around here (with a dash of hoco madness and anxiety too!).
I hope you have your “fall girl” pants on today because…it’s another FALL BLOG POST 🙂 .
Amen.
As you know, I’m all about celebrating this season. If you need some inspo, I’ve got it for you:

…plus you can read EVEN MORE festive October blog posts HERE too!
Alright, it’s time for my annual SPOOKTACULAR HOME TOUR!
I have been blogging here for almost 20 years, and I’m pretty sure I’ve shared my fall decor with you almost all of those.
My fall decor doesn’t change much. These seasonal items are sentimental and carry a lot of memories, and my family always gets excited when I bring them out. Over the years, we’ve added a bit here and there, but for the most part, it stays the same.
Per usual, I just took a gazillion pics. I don’t include many captions. I just walked around last week and snapped pics for you.
Come in, get cozy, and enjoy all the fall at the Shull’s house…
Welcome! This year, I did a dedicated post on our exterior pumpkins that you can read HERE.
Andrew did an EXTRA fabulous job on them this year, so I thought they deserved their own post.
Make sure you check that post out as well.
We are FALL people.
Come on in!
My little fall sign is both front and back. In September, we keep it on the FALL side and then in October, we flip it to BOO TO YOU…
We are so excited you stopped by!
I’m not super sentimental, but these plates are perhaps my favorite possessions in life.
We’ve tucked real pumpkins around the house more this year than ever before. They make me oh so happy.
That’s a ghost shape charcuterie board under the spooky house.
When there were only two.
Look at those baby hands and feet.
This guy used to hang on our front door when it was solid wood. Now, he hangs out inside. If you press his left hand, he lights up and makes spooky sounds.
I spy Frenchie 🙂
We are celebrating 18 all season 😉 .
I’ve had that sign almost 20 years. I used to hang it on the wall during fall in our first house.
My friend Lauren found the framed photo in an antique shop and gifted it to me. So cute!
A few spooky finds upstairs too…
And come on in my office…
More pumpkin goodness 🙂
There’s even fall outside on the balcony.
And that was the 2026 edition of our SPOOKATACULAR HOME TOUR!
Thank you so much for stopping by today!
Now, where do we store all of this seasonal decor? You can check all the deets RIGHT HERE!
Don’t forget that we’ve updated so many rooms in our house! If you’re looking for specific sources from specific rooms, these posts here will be the best bet for you to find that information:
Happy Monday, friends. I hope you have a wonderful, wonderful start to your week. Thank you for stopping by! xx

Absolutely beautiful! I love the plates with their handprints and footprints.

I plan on chuckling at “putting on fall girl pants” all day! so funny
Elspeth Mizner says

Janice Harris says
Love your decorations!
Beth Knecht says
Always so cozy and inviting!
I forget where you got your kids cute handprints made.
Is the lady who made your plates able to make any for long distance shipping?
Mix and Match Mama says
Lori makes them and yes, she ships long distances! You can find her on FB: https://www.facebook.com/ohhowcutebyLoriClark
Kathy says
So festive! Love it!
Kara says
Quick question! How do you store all your holiday pillows/stuffed pumpkins?
Mix and Match Mama says
For many, I just switch out the pillow covers (so I’m only storing the covers and not the bulky pillows), and for the others, I put them away upstairs in a cabinet in our home gym.
Emi says
The holiday home tours are my absolute favorite!!
Kristin says
I don’t decorate for anything but Christmas anymore, so I certainly enjoy seeing your decor. Andrew definitely knocked it out of the park with the pumpkins this year!
Paula Hobbs says
One of my very favorite posts of the year!! Happpy October!
Kristen Sass says
Your home is SO beautiful and cozy! This post and your Christmas decor post are two of my favorites year after year!
Lori says
Love all the fall decorations! It brings such warmth and coziness to a home. Those velvet pumpkins might be my favorite. Thanks for sharing.
Lori R says
I love the pumpkins Andrew picked out!
Jeanne Cobianchi says
Soooo much Fall and pumpkin goodness!!! How many truck loads does it take for the fresh pumpkins?
Mix and Match Mama says
He has gone back several days this fall to get more…so many!
Paula R. says
Shay, Your house looks so warm and welcoming. You have a beautiful array of textured pumpkins and those plush pillows and pumpkins pillows in the front room are gorgeous and luxe.
I still think my favorite item is your fall, light up house that Smith found for you. It’s darling and so festive.
I also have mostly the same fall decor, but I did go overboard at Hobby Lobby buying some beautiful accessories in a darker, moodier tone and vibe. Have a great day!
Amy says
So festive and cozy! I love finding little holiday gems in an antique store. Hope you have a great week of hobo festivities!
Krista F. says
Your home is gorgeous… so festive and cozy!!
Laci Murray says
Andrew could start a pumpkin business!
Mix and Match Mama says
That’s what I told him!
Cris says
Just curious: Does anyone ever eat the candy corn or Starburst in the candy dishes, or does it get tossed at the end of the season? It does make for a very cute presentation! Candy corn is especially festive-looking to me 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
Yes, my kids totally eat the candy. I just refill as necessary.
Nicole Klaver says
So cozy!! You have inspired my decorating!! Like I always say, you’ve taught me so much! 🥰🎃🍂
Kara says
I love it each year!
Laura Fuller says
I LOVE the small green & orange pumpkins in the library. Are they perhaps a current find?
Kay says
Yay-your Fall and Christmas home tours are my favorite, and I never get tired of seeing them :). Love the extra pumpkins this year!
And like your sign, I have a pillow that is a plain orange pumpkin on front, and a jack-o-lantern on back. I wish they made more fall to Halloween decorations!!
Happy Fall.
Gina Mitchell says
Everything is so cozy and welcoming. I am so glad to have grown up in a festive home, and I love seeing how many memories you make with your family. Happy Fall!!
Diane says
Your home tours are seasonal highlights for me ! I am thankful we finally got rain in Waco which helps embrace the fall vibe.
Cindy Davis says
Love the tours ! It’s really fun to see someone else’s decor. The huge skeletons are my favorite. Did Andrew get the animals
on your walls ?
Mix and Match Mama says
He did!
Leslie Jackson says
It all looks great! Where is your desk pad calendar from? I love that! 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
Amazon 🙂 It’s here: https://link.amazon/B04bpODhz
Karen Sievers says
Thanks for the wonderful tour! Your home is so warm, cozy & inviting. Love all the pumpkins.
Heather Green says
Do you still have the large inflatable pumpkin for your front yard? I love the big skeletons too especially walking the dog! LOL
Mix and Match Mama says
We do! It will go up right before Halloween!
Debra says
I wish you could come decorate my house inside and out! Not just for fall or holidays but in general. You have amazing style and taste and I do not have that talent. Your joke is lovely!
Lynn B says
Your house is so pretty! What fabric is on your chairs in the library. I have two chairs just like that that I would love to recover in that color.
Mix and Match Mama says
Oh gosh, I don’t know. I’ve had those chairs 20 years and recovered them in that fabric years ago. I’m sorry!
Laura Holmes says
I alway love your seasonal home tours! I just thought of this… did Kensington get her last bday sign this year up on the wall?!
Mix and Match Mama says
Not yet because our beloved sign maker is on a really big mission trip in South America! She’s doing great things down there 🙂 .
Susan says
I love the ceramic polka dot pumpkins.
Deb Ham says
Your home is lovely! Every yer I dime the lighted ghost wine bottle and ie never had luck finding one. Happy Fall🍂🍂
Elizabeth Spooner says
I’m not much on decorating for Halloween but your fall decor has inspired me to add to my fall selections🍁🍂
Dana J says
Everything looks Spooktacular!!! So fun and festive!!
Bren says
Yay – I love your home tour days! So lovely and festive! I also loved spying your grandfather’s Veteran cap on the grandfather clock. Such a beautiful tribute.
Mix and Match Mama says
When my maternal grandfather died, I was just about 18 and he left me his grandfather clock (which my grandmother saved for me until I had a home to put it in). When my paternal grandfather died in 2023, he left Andrew his much beloved veteran’s hat that he wore just about every single day. I keep them together in the foyer. Two great men who are both so dearly missed.
Mary S says
Your home is so beautiful! And I love all the personal touches. Do you have any secrets for keeping your light- colored living room furniture looking so clean? 😊
Mix and Match Mama says
I’m quite bossy about my kids not eating or drinking on it…and I swear by the green machine! It has gotten SO MANY things off of my furniture. Truly, it’s saved it from ruin several times. It’s on sale right now: https://link.amazon/B05WSzLLf
Mary S says
Thank you! 🩵
Heather S says
Your holiday home tours are my two favorite posts of the year. This is year 14 or 15 of following you, and they never get old!!
Jess W says
Love your virtual home tour! My fall/Halloween decorations have been up a week and it makes me SO happy. The company who installs our Christmas lights did that yesterday which was the earliest ever! Even though they are not on yet, it made me so happy they are ready to go!
Andrea says
It wouldn’t be fall without me seething with jealousy over your stone pumpkins!🤣 Your home is so beautiful! Where did you get your paintings from? I am currently on the hunt for some nice artwork for our walls…sadly we live in Oregon so galleries here are generally Northwest themed, and that is so not my vibe.
Mix and Match Mama says
I do love those stone pumpkins too 🙂 . Our art comes from a huge variety of places. Over the years, we have collected many of it on our travels. We have also found pieces at antique markets and consignment shops too.
