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.

This house just shouts „attention to detail“ in every nook and cranny - congratulations!
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).
Would love to see your home at night and how the lighting works with your tones. It’s so lovely and airy, I wonder if it’s a completely different feel at night
I love that rustic lamp and the velvet Reese Sofa is STUNNING!
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.

I agree but when I have very little a ones and they haven’t learnt yet -I just Put some stuff out of reach till I have a hold on it.I have very stubborn and clumsy kids too…They do eventually learn….
I love watching your show in Netflix. My kids love interior designing and they feel so inspired.
You guys never disappoint! Would love to see how you design a smaller space like an apartment!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting another video of your lovely home. The waiting has been difficult. I have been having to watch the other video's of your home over and over just to get my fix. Lol. Your video's have especially been helpful through these difficult times we are all having. Thank you again Shea. You and your family are precious and your home is so beautiful. Love your style.
WOW, i have been waiting a long time for this video. Your home looks beautiful. Well Done
I love the dimensions you have in this space, everything is scaled perfectly- you almost don't realise how grand the fireplace is until seeing it in perspective with a person! But it just all works together to create a beautiful homely space that doesn't feel dwarfed by the height of the room.

This is amazing. Every time I come across a video made by McGee I see their signature colors and textures. This is perfect 👌
I've been waiting your great room tour for sooooo longggg you have no idea!! 😄 Looooove everything about this room,you're one of the MOST authentic designers out there, sending lots of love ❤️❤️❤️❤️.
Stunning! And so love the mix of textures in the furniture, especially the wicker on the back of those lovely chairs and the layering of the rugs. Thank you :)
I would love to see these spaces at night with the lighting.

Agreed. Good idea.
I absolutely love your home. All of the neutral tones and mixture of textures is beautiful.
I've been waiting for this one! 🙂
I love that you’re not afraid of using black😍😍😍😍I was going to enroll in a design school in my area and the teachers kept saying “You use too much black, clients hate black.” But I see how much balance there is when you use it so I’m like🤭🤔 That’s why I’m a fan of Studio McGee forever. You don’t play it safe! Congrats on the new house it’s stunning!!🤤
Another beautiful space in this amazing home you’ve designed. Thanks for sharing
Your home is so beautiful. I love that you take us thru your designer thoughts.congratulations.
i would literally cry if i ever got my house designed by Mcgee
Your home is absolutely exquisite! I could move in tomorrow ...loving the videos to see the whole process ❤️❤️❤️
🌸💕Outstandinly AMAZING per usual girl!! I so love the thought and purpose behind each design feature! Among my favs are the ceiling beams and the artsy, sculptural stand in the corner!😊👍🏾 So beautiful!!!! Can’t wait til the LIVE session!!!!!!!!!
Perfect house, love the colors, simply and elegant. Just perfect!
Someone is Living her Dream! I'm happy for you 🙌 It finally makes sense to me... a grand space, accommodates for the high TV. Thanks. I needed that unanswered thought! Beautiful home!
You are right up there at the top. Such talent. Continued success with Studio McGee.
I love every room in your home, it is stunning. I learn alot by these clips as well
I love how you added shiplap to the back of the built-ins!
Simply beautiful... Can't wait to see the rest of the spaces.
Love this whole set up! Beautiful!
Love the mix and yet it's so family friendly! My kid is always jumping off of our ottoman too. Just wish it looked like yours!
You could honestly fit my entire home into the one room several times over ...
I. Love. That. Dress! When the designer matches the house in beauty 😌
FINALLY!!! We have all been waiting for another show stopping room in your home; clean, classic and timeless I love it xxoo
yes girlfriend. you seriously got it going on. keep it going on! lots of love always.
Simply loved it! ❤️ Greetings from Argentina!
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.
Another amazing spot in your dream home!!!!!
Love love what you did with your home!
beautiful as always. LOVE it!
Love, Love!!! Did I say Love it? Enjoyed your show on Netflix too!
This place is perfection.
I love your floors and been trying to found look a like floors to have placed in my home. I love your style and all your design decor. I watched all your shows over and over. They are motivated shows and keeps me visualizing my ideal space. I am helping my daughter with my grandkids and trying to save to get the look that I want and the design I want.
I always watch your Netflix series and I’m in love with your designs, love it!
Dear McGee, I love all your renovations, they are very, very beautiful and moderns, congratulations for you and continuous working so, A huge and go ahead dear friend !!!
I almost died and went to heaven when I saw your line in Target the other day. Really great product...I am indeed a fan.♥️
The entry way is gorgeous!
How amazing would it be if you had a KZread series focussing on the actual business. Your journey and how you got there? Tips for aspiring interior designers. I have your book, and it takes prize place in my office! You guys are so inspirational, I don’t think you realise how much you influence budding designers! ❤️
Beautiful as always 💕
I'm obsessed with your show coming from a construction background. I'm in houses of all sizes we do residential Italian elevators in Los Angeles. Hats off to your contractor as well he executes your vision. Love your husband so funny definitely my style. Much respect not an easy field. P.S. ever need an elevator reach out 😆
Absolutely stunning 🥰
Just lovely
Nicely done, Absolutely Beautiful!! BTW, I was sooooooooo happy to see your items in Target!!!!
Your shows are the best I have ever seen.
Love the arches!
Beautiful 🏠 home inside and out❤️😊
She is so relatable! And I really appreciate that.
Wow! very interesting to see different styles, colors and textures of furniture in one single room. Really nice!... the traditional way, you have to match everything.
You colour scheme speaks to my heart 💜
God bless your Home.Beautiful 😍

I love everything but the chairs stole my eyes, as well as the fireplace stone😍

...right? Talk about custom - amazing fireplace stone, and those trusses!
I love you white furniture, it seems so comfortable
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.
Design -- flavor of the month!
Hi from NYC. BEAUTIFUL DETAILS and obviously much thought were placed in your furniture selection. The living room is functional, elegant, and safe for children. However, how are do one change the beautiful lighting fixture bulbs and clean those windows?
OMG Inspiration!
Cuirous to see how in the US most people seem to like a TV on a crazy height (mostly above a fireplace) whereas in other places such as Europe it is crazy low. Overall very nice and zen place.
I love your style and the McGee & Co furniture & decor. I wish it was available in Australia.
I was waiting for the pantry full shots. Oh well this is good too
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.
Love it!♥️
It is sooo beautiful 🥰👍i love 💗it.
Hi! Love your home. What is the paint color for your front door? It looks like a deep blue. Thank you. Can wait to see more of your videos👍
Stunning
Beautiful! I just bought my bar stools and 2 lounge chairs from you guys! - Kristina
Is it difficult to use energy efficiently with high ceiling?
Beautiful 💕💕
Beautiful. I am only 17, but I really want to be a designer when I am older, and you are the perfect inspiration for myself, and my siblings. Thank you Shea!

Wao simple and beautiful 😍😍love your artistic sense combination of old and modern look 👍👍
You guys should do a walk through tour of your home, that would be so amazing
I adore this house 🌈
Beautifull, Beautifull, all you home.
Beautiful!
My goodness! Every video is SO good!!!! I love it. One question I have, what is the size of your room and what size rug did you pick? I have a living area that is 17’x17’ and I’m not sure exactly what size rug to do!
Thank you for all your videos and tips! We just painted our walls with swiss coffee at 75% and they look beautiful! Now I'm moving on to our repainting our kitchen cabinets. Are the cabinets flanking your fireplace in your great room painted? And if so, what color? Please and thank you!!
The room is beautiful! I do love the fireplace and the frame TV. It would be better to show nice picture over the TV during filming as the TV is made for displaying art.
you are amazing!! I ve followed you since 2016. you just get better and better. Wish i could meet you in Person one day. I am from Singapore.
Beautiful home.
Love it all 💝
This is beautiful! Could you please say where you got your double handled vase? I didn't see it on your website.
