The McGee Home: Great Room Design Process and Tour

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Welcome to our great room, we’re going to be sharing the thought process behind the design and try to answer all your questions because we’ve received a lot from all of you!
When you enter our home, you walk under the barrel arch and into our living room, which opens up to our kitchen and our dining room. Having an open-concept floor plan that still felt like there were individual rooms was really important to us, and we couldn’t be happier with the final result.
Our walls are painted in Swiss Coffee by Benjamin Moore at 75% Strength.
Our entryway is very intimate, and the ceilings are about 10 feet high, but when you walk under the barrel arch and into the living room, they raise to 25 feet.
Before I knew what color our windows were going to be, what color paint was going to be on the walls, or any furniture we would use, I knew I wanted these huge wood trestles. They are structural, and they actually support our home. When they were installed, I was terrified because they had to crane them into position. Plus, they are douglas fir wood, and I was so nervous about matching them to our white oak floors.
Luckily, we worked with Killowen Construction and Lemco Design to create the perfect custom, cohesive stains on both our floors and trestles.

    Usually all light colours and white walls everywhere look very dull and sterile but I have no idea how she designed it to end up being so cosy and comfortable. Great interior design created by a great designer and executed by great craftsman's.

    I've been obsessed with HGTV and interior design for as long as I can remember. This home is probably one of the most beautifully designed that I have seen. While it isn't my personal style, it is so well decorated (obviously).

    Maybe it's an interior designer thing( since I am too) but what is with people and not being able to tell their kids "No?" I have 4 grown BOYS....YES BOYS! I was still able to have beautiful things in my home and Nothing was really off limits to them but I taught them to respect what we had. It's really not that hard. What a beautiful home

    You’re so right, Heidi Huiss I have always felt the same thing. As an interior designer and nanny, I know so much about kids, despite not having my own. I can guarantee that kids WILL do whatever they’re told, and I find they thrive with discipline and direction. Specially when raised to be respectful with both people and their own home. Nothing has to be off limits to them if they’re taught early to be mindful. I remember a few kids I cared for who literally destroyed their 2 floor townhouse home here in NYC every single day even after the housekeeper would leave it spotless, but despite my efforts to correct that, the parents themselves wouldn’t care or attempt to fix this. So the habit repeated daily. Mainly because they were not the ones cleaning the mess. It was either me or the housekeeper. Ultimately, kids are just kids and if as a parent one takes the time to teach them well, there’s no reason why they would ruin their home.

    The way women obsess over letting their kids control their lives drives me crazy. My friends let their kids run wild at home and wonder how when they’re in my space they don’t. An I’m always like because I don’t play that s*** lol! I communicate with every child in my life ( my three best friends are 2 year olds lol ) how this is MY space and we need to treat my space with love and gently. 1. Because your Tina will lose her mind and you’ll get time out lol. And 2. Because it’s soooo nice to be kind to our things etc etc. And 3. Do I ever come mess up your room? We never have to talk about it again even as they age. My teen ( rental babies ) still to this day wouldn’t dare ruin my or anyone else’s things.

    Colors flow and blend peacefully, the beauty of the home's architecture is the show stopper. A peaceful calm Beauty! I just want to sit down in the middle of your room quietly for a few minutes and be an observer , absorb the essence of the room. Stand and walk slowly around this room not to miss anything architectural. I would take another walk around this room, slowly soak up your style and design of furniture, colors, shapes, layering of rugs, textures and then blissfully do it all over again! Thank you for sharing. I hope to one day have a home again, a two bedroom cottage. Design and style it with an essence of warmth, simplistic Beauty! I would share it with my granddaughter and pass it on to her , fill her full of love and memories from our cottage , a legacy of love, simplistic Beauty and warmth. Beginning with her and I and our sweet cottage.

    I really love the light & airy open plan layout of the kitchen/lounge room & all the beautiful furnishings, they look casual yet still very stylish. I’m not such a fan of the extreme ceiling height as I think you can achieve the same open effect with just slighter higher than normal ceilings. For me personally I’d prefer 2 larger rooms containing both a lounge and family room rather than one smaller lounge room with height. But of course each to their own, it all comes down to personal taste afterall.

    I totally agree with the tv being over the fire place. You should only have one main focal point in a room, and the height doesn’t bother me either because our tv tilts down, so there’s no neck strain. I can see my tv from the kitchen as well.
