Her go-to hostess gift is genius.
Anyone who has thought seriously about starting their own business knows it takes a lot of time, money, and energy. That's why when you hit significant milestones—say, the 10-year mark of your brand—celebrations are in order. Interior designer and entrepreneur Shea McGee is certainly riding this high as her design firm, Studio McGee, hits its double digit birthday this year. We caught up with McGee to chat about this milestone and where she finds inspiration for her projects and designs (the studio has its own interior brand called McGee & Co). Of course, we also had to ask the pro what she's shopping for, so everyone can bring a little bit of McGee style and magic into their own homes.
Though McGee has a definite design point of view, her style has evolved over the last 10 years. "If you look back at some of our first projects, it’s obvious that some elements of my style have changed," she says. "While I still love and use a clean, bright color palette, my design aesthetic has evolved to include more rich, saturated tones."
You'll get a glimpse of how McGee's distinct eye for design encompasses every facet of her life when you see what's on her shopping list, below. The curated list of products, from a luxurious Loewe hand wash to a classic plaid tablecloth, spotlights her taste for mixing the classics with contemporary picks. Best of all? With one click, you can add any of the items into your cart, so you too can channel McGee's style.
To see what other pros are shopping, check out:
“I love a time-honored pattern, and there’s nothing more classic than an earth-tone plaid. This tablecloth has a beautiful handwoven feel to it, with a cute tassel edge for some fun with the sophistication.”
"I am obsessed with the scent of this hand soap. It’s so fresh and reminds me of one of my favorite ways to spend my downtime, which is in the garden with my hands in the soil. This is a go-to gift when I want to spoil someone I love."
"If you want to dress up a tablescape, the easiest way is to pop this beauty in the middle of the spread with an elegant pillar candle inside. To me, a hand-blown crystal hurricane is the ultimate mark of elegance."
"I am a big fan of bringing high-end elements into spaces of utility. This wicker basket is functional with rolling wheels and multiple handles but promises an additional layer of warmth and texture to your laundry room."
"Vintage, silver-plated silverware for the entertaining win! These are delicate and classic with small floral prints from the '30s and '40s. I love the eclectic feel of the mix-and-match collection, but similar enough to tie it all together."
"We designed this canvas tote in celebration of Studio McGee’s tenth anniversary. It’s an easy, everyday carry-all for busy mothers on the go, like me."
"Mark Sikes knows how to do timeless interiors that feel deeply American and nostalgic. I go back to his two other books time and time again for inspiration, and I cannot wait to get my hands on this one. The internet is a wonderful place to go to for inspiration, but there’s nothing quite as magical as flipping through the pages of a beautiful coffee table book from someone I admire."
"Loro Piana products are always so decadent, but this cashmere soap is a worthy splurge for keeping your softest clothes in pristine shape. I love that it’s an all-natural product, and a bonus is how lovely it looks on the shelves of my laundry room."
"Is there anything more nostalgic than splatterware? I love seeing more sophisticated silhouettes featuring this classic country print. The twisted handles and pedestal base are perfect for a statement-making centerpiece."
"Hand-poured, our McGee & Co. embossed candle is simple in a beautiful brass vessel with notes of chamomile, white flowers, and cedar. It’s one of those scents you’ll want to establish as your signature home fragrance."
