1. A Streamlined Entryway
The journey starts at the entrance, where a specially made console table commands attention. The console table, made of warm wood, doubles as a fashionable display area and a designated drop zone for daily necessities. A huge mirror above the console table reflects natural light and gives the impression of space, while a woven basket nestled beneath it adds some texture and extra storage.
The home entryway of Shea McGee, was a certain place that seemed a little empty during the planning process. Shea McGee decided to match a vintage botanical fabric with an old chair made of a combination of wicker and iron. This charming yet useful nook serves as a spot to leave a suitcase or put on shoes before leaving.
2. Living Room: A Haven for Family Gatherings
As we step into the living room, we are greeted by a sense of inviting comfort. The focal point of the space is the stunning fireplace, adorned with a chic blend. Built-in shelving flanks the fireplace, offering ample storage for books, decorative objects, and family treasures. The mantle, adds a touch of rustic charm, while the light detailing on the fireplace introduces a hint of modern farmhouse style.
A comfortable sectional sofa with a neutral, soft fabric upholstery is positioned across from the fireplace. Throw cushions in different tones of green and blue are used to punctuate the sofa with pops of color, giving the room character. The seating area is anchored by a woven rug that provides warmth and texture underfoot.
3. A Touch of Whimsy in the Dining Room
The dining room exudes a playful yet relaxing charm. The attraction of this room is the interior windows from ceiling to floor, giving a great direct view of the garden of the house. The whimsical wallpaper boasts a captivating botanical print, creating a delightful backdrop for enojyable family meals.
A simple soft-color wood extension dining with clipped corners table sits at the center of the space, perfect for hosting guests or big family gatherings, surrounded by chairs that match the hue of the table. One additional piece Shea McGee added to this dining space is the diamong braided jute rug, an element the designer was afraid to use before since she has kids and it can get messy when it comes to spills and stains.
4. Pantry Perfection
The pantry of Shea McGee didn’t have many changes, the main change was the color scheme. For this new era Shea McGee chose darker colors, more specifically dark green, matching the shades used in the wallpaper in the dining room.
You enter and are welcomed with a harmonious blend of style and organization. The pantry is a thoughtfully designed room that showcases Shea’s dedication to fusing superior design with functionality.
