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
Loved this! Thank you for being so detailed. I like how you educate us as well as describe what it is that you do within each space.

We're so glad it's helpful! You got it!!!
When building our home, I was stuck on mixing metals...so I decided to use two: oil rubbed bronze and polished nickel...used both in every room and it is fine...!
I would love a q&a for people who are looking to be designers. How/how much do you charge? How much do the different levels of designers make? Do you prefer think getting a masters in interior design is necessary?

Yes, Q&A part two AND three, please!! How old are the two of you? Did you really only take a "few" design classes and still have this immense talent? Art classes? Born into a creative family? Have you found that not have a fancy design degree hold you back in ANY way?

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.
Loved this type of video!

Hey! I miss you girls! I enjoyed that ☮️ I seen this really great idea for storage in a bathroom, the owner had built long box medicine cabinets almost up to the ceiling, what a great idea 🤗
Would you recommend a half wall to separate the kitchen sink countertop from the dining area?
Beautiful kitchens!! Where can I find the counter/bar stools at 2:32 the ones in front of the blue island?

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.

Great tips! I do wonder how well Ikea or prefab cabinets hold up....will you regret having these cabinets falling apart on you much sooner than custom cabinetry?
