The Lacanche Range is a beautiful work of art, and it was a splurge, but for me, this was the focal point of the kitchen. It comes from France, and it took about 6 months to get here, and it was worth the wait. We went with the double oven, and we have a griddle that Syd makes chocolate chip pancakes on for the kids every single morning. We went with a color called Chantilly, which is a soft white, and it has the silver and the brass, tying in a lot of the metals we have working throughout our home. We partnered with Kohler for all the plumbing throughout our home, and we actually partnered with Kohler’s sister brand Kallista on this faucet so we could get that perfect unlacquered brass finish. I love that it will patina over time and that it ties in with our interior door hardware.

In a video shared on Studio McGee’s social media, Shea gave the first look at the upcoming new book . I really wanted a big farmhouse sink in our kitchen, so we did the White Haven from Kohler. I love a drip-edge detail; this is something that we’ll do in wood often underneath a farmhouse sink. It catches any spillage that happens when you’re doing dishes and protects your cabinetry. I wanted to do this differently, so I actually did a marble drip-edge across the bottom, and I love how this turned out.

Syd was working with his oldest brother and decided to leave that business,” Shea McGee said. “As he was deciding what his next step would be, I asked him to help me on the side. We made a very good team. He and I have very different skill sets and very differentiated roles. It worked once we got over inserting ourselves into each other’s goals and started to trust each other. We sold our home in Utah and invested that money as a launch pad to start our business.”The husband-and-wife pair in 2016 introducedMcGee& Co., the brand’s e-commerce division with a handful of pillow and decor items. McGee& Co. last year served more than 83,000 customers, 51% of which were repeat buyers.
