best interior design video ever!

@laurafraser737 5 жыл бұрын

I would love to see a ‘pet owners episode!’ So many pieces/furniture for pets like beds or cat trees are so ugly. I’d love to see McGees take on combining a stylish home and pets

@kaileybennington5219 6 жыл бұрын

I would love a q&a for people who are looking to be designers. How/how much do you charge? How much do the different levels of designers make? Do you prefer think getting a masters in interior design is necessary?

@Camish52 6 жыл бұрын

have you checked out Karin Bohn (on youtube) she is very interesting for aspiring designers and addresses some of these questions

Yes, Q&A part two AND three, please!! How old are the two of you? Did you really only take a "few" design classes and still have this immense talent? Art classes? Born into a creative family? Have you found that not have a fancy design degree hold you back in ANY way?

Wow, what an amazing amount of info in a short period of time! I feel like I just got the 'rent a designer for one hour' special! I worked with a designer for the jumping off points when I bought my current old house eg downstairs wallpaper and paint colors. I've been going it alone for the last couple of years, but am feeling stuck so will probably look for some assistance soon. It's just hard to find the right designer when you're not looking to do a $100,000 reno.

My living room is weird. It’s rectangular with 2 doorways on either side. We have a fireplace with a y’all mantel. Unfortunately, we can’t remodel the fire place and it’s mantel so it’ll have to stay. But to put the tv on the side, it seems so far away. And it really hurts me because I love symmetry.
