Meet Syd and Shea McGee, the powerhouse couple behind Studio McGee, the fastest-growing interior design studio in the country. I truly loved getting the peek behind the curtain and found it inspiring, interesting, fun and very well written - I couldn’t stop listening and finished it in just a few days!

When I saw the cover of this book I thought “Aw a cute couple in business together”, but after reading- damn. Inside these pages, you’ll find a heartwarming memoir that profiles the company’s beginnings, the McGee’s journey as a family, and all the lessons learned along the way. A he said-she said conversation between husband and wife about how they created their life together. It's more of a memoir of Syd and Shea's relationship, how they met and started a family, and how they eventually began working together to create an interior design company.I'm not sure what the point of the book was- it didn't really provide design tips and while I think their goal was to inspire people on how they started their business it didn't feel like they provided real information on that to actually give people tips on how to do that either. This kind of story is that startup companies need to encourage themself to keep going, but on other side knew the risks (though in this story the risks taken was successful). Ebooks fulfilled through Glose cannot be printed, downloaded as PDF, or read in other digital readers (like Kindle or Nook). Make Life Beautiful is the autobiography from Syd and Shea McGee, which offers fans a new and intimate look into how they built their business.

She mentions a lot of specific projects, and I would have appreciated seeing the pictures there instead of a lengthy description (that I kind of skipped), which resulted in me having to Google the projects.

Personally, this made it very choppy and repetitive for me and would have loved if the book was all in one person's perspective.

With a vision that beautiful design can be approachable, they have become one of the leading innovators in the interior design industry.We sought to establish a venue where vulnerable individuals by virtue of isolation, bereavement or physical or mental health issues were joined by members of the community at large. Syd and Shea McGee, partners in both life and business, joined forces to found their design firm, Studio McGee, in 2014 and with their team have designed hundreds of homes across the country.

It did not feel genuine - this book was created for the purpose of making money and not to help, guide, or inspire anyone. You still get plenty of interior design advice from Shea, doubling as life advice and sprinkled throughout the book like scented candles in a wannabe designers home. No pictures, but a beautiful recounting of their life, and how they do life, how they climbed out of debt and. I enjoyed reading about their compelling journey that shaped their design empire we know as Studio McGee. Don't miss Shea's long-awaited interior design book, The Art of Home: A Designer Guide to Creating an Elevated Yet Approachable Home.I am in awe at their can-do never give up attitude and their belief that there is always another better way. To me, the book fulfilled the premise: it's about the journey of a couple in building their successful business and what they learned in the way.
