Studio McGee Spec Home Tour: Sharing All of the Kitchen and Pantry Details #SMSpecHome

We are excited to reveal one of the most anticipated rooms inside our first-ever spec home—the kitchen! Join Shea as she shares her expertise on mixing hardware, layering lighting, and designing a kitchen layout in the latest spec home webisode.

In the kitchen, Shea created symmetry by framing the hood and adding floor-to-ceiling cabinetry that looks more like a piece of furniture than a kitchen functionality staple. “The other part of this layout that’s really unique is a long stretch of cabinetry from the kitchen all the way into the pantry,” she explains. “Instead of having a pocket door or some sort of division it is all connected, so you get this beautiful view when you are standing in the great room. This played into a lot of the decisions we made throughout the kitchen.” When designing the pantry, Shea intentionally constructed the visible corner cabinetry to be beautiful at all times and placed the less-sightly food storage around the corner.

The range hood and backsplash are the standouts for me. It reminds of an 18th century hearth. Amazing work as always.

I absolutely love your style and this kitchen is incredible! I would love to see you build and style a house on a budget that the average person could purchase. I would love a home like this and I'm sure many people would but it's just not realistic for most of us and for me it's hard to visualize these grand features toned down in a smaller space. Your work and style is out of this world and I will continue to watch and envy it.:)

This is my dream kitchen! 😁However, I would totally end up washing my dishes in that side prep sink!

I really like the "timeless" colors in the kitchen. So happy to hear you say "We have transitioned out of the pop of color i.e. island." I redid my kitchen (on a budget) in 2021 and i felt that the two-tones color combo was on it way out. You proved me right! Also we are on the same page for high end neutral drapes (very similar to the color of the wall paint- YES!)

Beautiful. I started seeing the stone backsplash being used in the kitchen over a year ago with other designers and wondered if it was easy to clean.

I love the layout, if we ever build again, I’m definitely stealing this idea ❤

[OptimisticGray]

Old Shea, lets paint that beautiful stone work, the beautiful wood, WHITE. New Shea, leave it natural, tired of white

[Kelly-fcym]

Stunning to say the least! It's the mix of the textures and color tones that make this all work so well- they really play off one another- and also serve to make it such an interesting kitchen despite the muted tones.
