    I would love to see a ‘pet owners episode!’ So many pieces/furniture for pets like beds or cat trees are so ugly. I’d love to see McGees take on combining a stylish home and pets

    Wow, what an amazing amount of info in a short period of time! I feel like I just got the 'rent a designer for one hour' special! I worked with a designer for the jumping off points when I bought my current old house eg downstairs wallpaper and paint colors. I've been going it alone for the last couple of years, but am feeling stuck so will probably look for some assistance soon. It's just hard to find the right designer when you're not looking to do a $100,000 reno.

    My living room is weird. It’s rectangular with 2 doorways on either side. We have a fireplace with a y’all mantel. Unfortunately, we can’t remodel the fire place and it’s mantel so it’ll have to stay. But to put the tv on the side, it seems so far away. And it really hurts me because I love symmetry.
