Make Life Beautiful Extended Edition

Product Information

Like many other reviewers have said, this isn't a design book with lots of glossy pictures and how-to moments.

This isn’t a book about interior design, the authors don’t focus on their process or linger too long on their finished products (although there’s plenty of tidbits to learn from). 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. As I have background in retail and consumer PR, I found the business strategy interesting - but you aren’t going to get all the pics and tips you would in a standard design book. For the one million-plus followers who turn to Syd and Shea McGee for advice on building a beautiful home and life, Make Life Beautiful is a behind-the-scenes look into how the couple transformed Shea’s small room of fabric samples and big dream of becoming a designer into one of the most successful and fastest-growing interior design businesses in the country. Those who are fans of the couple and their style or who are enjoy stories of how entrepreneurs built their businesses and "brands" will surely enjoy it a great deal.Read this book and learn how Syd and Shea prioritized their values, defined their goals, and put their dreams into action--going from flat broke to design superstars--all while following their motto to "make life beautiful. They remind me of another famous design couple, Chip and Joanna Gaines, who also started small and grew an empire. For the one million-plus followers who turn to Syd and Shea McGee for advice on building a beautiful home and life, Make Life Beautiful is a behind-the-scenes look into how the couple transformed Shea's small room of fabric samples and big dream of becoming a designer into one of the most successful and fastest-growing interior design businesses in the country.

This is the story about how Syd and Shea became partners in life and ultimately in business as well. I was a huge fan of studio McGee’s work before reading this book, but now I’m super in love with their whole business and the founders. 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. This book is a story of their journey, with raw moments as well as funny stories, all centered around practical and specific design and business tips (I appreciated the specificity here!

I'm sure the McGees are fine people and I enjoyed their Netflix show but I'm not invested enough or curious enough about them as people to want to only read about them and their business and methods without at least some photos to illustrate their work/inspiration/methodology. Congrats to them on their successes but they just are not as interesting as they want you to believe. As an interior designer myself, I have been going through a minor burnout from all the work it takes to be an entrepreneur and a designer.

I'm glad I went for audio version of the book, because I'm a bit of a slow reader and this book is so well narrated.Syd and Shea really pull back the curtain and show you that they didn’t just stumble into the empire they built, there was so much business genius and forethought into every one of their moves that led them to where they are today. and as I have a passion for a design myself, I have no idea how can you creat such beauty over and over again! There’s nothing more beautiful than taking a leap and devoting your life and your heart and your work to helping other people enjoy beauty in their own homes.

As an aspiring entrepreneur everyone always tells you “you need to hustle” or “you need to be willing to sacrifice for your business” and it’s hard to know what that means, but this book does a wonderful job at actually making those struggles tangible and relatable.
