Introducing Kohler X Studio McGee

The Studio McGee Spec Home in Red Ledges, located outside Park City, Utah, represents Studio McGee's inaugural spec home project. This residence, minutes from the slopes and downtown Park City, aims to embody the brand's classic styling within a mountainous landscape. The design integrates nature and offers a sophisticated yet comfortable living experience. The entryway features alder wood, stained to mimic oak, providing a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The living room showcases double-beam vaulted ceilings and a fireplace clad in the same limestone used on the home's exterior, enhanced by a rich overgrout for a sense of history. The ceiling's wood finish matches the kitchen cabinetry, ensuring design continuity. The dining room emphasizes texture over pattern, with full drapes that frame the windows and a soft white paint on the window frames matching the walls, all contrasting with rustic wood floors. The kitchen is designed with symmetry, featuring a statement hood framed by floor-to-ceiling cabinetry that resembles a piece of furniture, and a long stretch of cabinetry connecting to the pantry. Cabinets blend flat inset panels with raised beaded profiles, all in Accessible Beige by Sherwin Williams, complemented by antiqued brass hardware and a natural matte stain on the island. The kitchen uses a thoughtful mix of cream-toned Moroccan zellige tile behind the range and the same natural stone from the home's exterior extending to the ceiling on the pantry side, adding texture and earthiness. Multiple lighting sources, including brass island pendants and flush mounts, ensure functional and aesthetic balance. The primary suite serves as a serene, rustic retreat. Wide wood paneling with natural knots and holes, finished in a thin layer of Natural Tan by Sherwin Williams, covers walls and ceilings, highlighting the wood's character. Exposed wood beams match the great room ceilings. The suite incorporates McGee & Co.'s Henrietta Bed with large-scale artwork to fill vertical space. The primary bathroom extends the stone from the bedroom's fireplace behind the freestanding tub, using putty-colored cabinetry, wood ceilings, marble countertops, and dark gray limestone tiles for continuity. A unique detail in the shower is Carrera marble brick lay accented with stacked marble liners to create a reeded effect. The office, a client-free opportunity, features rich brown walls, thin molding, custom built-ins, and unique brass sconces to create a cozy and elevated space. The first guest suite adopts a playful mix of patterns and includes a window seat with an oak slab. Its bathroom features a deep charcoal vanity in Grizzly Gray by Sherwin Williams, paired with dark gray limestone tiles and McGee & Co.’s Oslo Mirrors in dark walnut. The shower’s ceramic tile is elevated with a marble border. The nursery suite is designed with versatility, featuring Morris & Co. x McGee & Co. Sunflower Porcelain Wallpaper in a neutral color, combined with Windsor Stripe Tailored Pleat drapes for pattern play. Its ensuite bathroom has a moodier palette with grey and cream Moroccan Zellige floor tiles and wood cabinetry pulls. The powder bathroom is a “jewel box,” showcasing Marigold Umber Wallpaper from the Morris & Co. x McGee & Co. collection, a custom floating oak vanity with a Calacatta marble top, and unlacquered brass hardware. The Josephine Mirror from McGee & Co. complements the curved backsplash, and the ceiling and trim are painted in Ivory Lace by Sherwin-Williams. Utility spaces, including the laundry room and mudroom, continue the home's classic yet fresh aesthetic. The laundry room features a checkboard pattern of Calacatta marble and limestone tiles on the floor, beadboard walls in Natural Tan, and cabinetry in Sand Beach. Black stone countertops, burnished brass latches, and curved brackets on exposed shelving add sophistication. A small curtain under the farmhouse sink introduces a traditional touch. The mudroom is painted entirely in Forestwood by Sherwin-Williams, with the same limestone flooring as the entryway. It includes an Indoor/Outdoor Rug and a Cesta Linear Chandelier from McGee & Co., alongside practical tall cabinets with long drawer pulls and a mix of closed and open storage. #HomeDesign #InteriorDesign #SpecHome #StudioMcGee #UtahLiving #MountainModern #RusticElegance #KitchenDesign #BedroomDesign

Studio McGee has announced a new tile collaboration with Ann Sacks, a leading name in the tile industry. This partnership aims to create a versatile tile collection that reflects Studio McGee's aesthetic, which is rooted in neutrals with subdued accent colors and organic warmth. Shea McGee emphasizes that the collection was designed to be timeless and age gracefully with the homeowner, becoming an heirloom feature within a home. The collaboration features three distinct collections: Canyon Lake, Willow Heights, and Novah. The Canyon Lake Collection draws inspiration from old-world tile textures and movements, while being designed for modern everyday living. It is available in various colors, two sizes, and two finishes, making it suitable for a wide range of applications such as kitchen backsplashes, mudroom floors, or outdoor spaces. The tiles are designed for easy mixing and matching to achieve a collected look, and different colorways can be combined to create bold statements through accent stripes, soldier courses, or checkerboard patterns. The color palette, including shades like Antique White, Dusty Rose, Midnight, Mist, Sea Salt, and Stone, is inspired by natural elements to ensure longevity and organic warmth. The Willow Heights Collection is inspired by the classic elegance of parquet flooring. It is offered in three marble combinations, each featuring a Calacatta marble base with neutral accents. This collection is intended for spaces like bathrooms or entryway floors, and its sophisticated, understated palette is designed to withstand the test of time and complement a wide variety of decor styles. Finally, the Novah Collection is a dry-press porcelain collection inspired by the organic, well-worn beauty of tumbled limestone. It offers durability and easy maintenance, making it suitable for both large and small applications, including outdoor use. The collection's design allows for pairing different colorways to create diamond, checker, or bordered patterns. While primarily envisioned for floors, it is also suitable for walls and is highly transitional between different design styles. Shea McGee specifically sought to create a porcelain limestone with subtle variations, authentic texture, and versatile color options that were previously difficult to find, ensuring it hits all the right notes for a natural and timeless look. #AnnSacks #StudioMcGee #TileCollection #HomeDesign #InteriorDesign #CanyonLakeCollection #WillowHeightsCollection #NovahCollection #TimelessAesthetic

The transition of seasons provides an opportune moment to update home décor elements such as throw pillows and to introduce a new color palette. The latest Threshold x Studio McGee fall collection is now available, featuring a range of items including high-gloss lamps, hand-tufted Persian rugs, and mirrors inspired by Ralph Lauren designs. Shea McGee highlights her preferred pieces from this collection. Among the featured items is the High Gloss Ceramic Table Lamp, which Shea McGee notes for its unique patina, reminiscent of a perfectly preserved antique, and the distinctive ring indentation across its top. Another favored piece is the Hand Tufted Persian Style Rug, distinguished by its asymmetrical pattern, a departure from the typically saturated and perfectly balanced designs often found in Persian rugs. The rug's nuanced lack of vibrant color is highlighted as a unique attribute rather than a detraction. The Woven Floral Throw Pillow is also part of her favorites, recognized for its crewelwork embroidery, a technique dating back to the 11th century. This specific extra-long lumbar pillow is presented as a statement piece in the fall collection, reflecting time-honored craftsmanship through its intricately threaded wool. Shea McGee's inspiration for this collection draws from 1990s Ralph Lauren advertisements, characterized by American prep, country club aesthetics, and polo themes. This influence is evident in the Tortoise Shell Wall Mirror, with its shield shape and tortoise frame, evoking imagery of a sophisticated horse farm. The Ceramic Trophy Vase is designed with both decorative and functional intent, with its form inspired by trophy cases found in equestrian settings. Another item of note is the Ceramic Link Bowl with Handles, described as a catch-all bowl capable of dominating the design of an entryway console. Its handmade appearance, earthy texture, and distinctive scalloped handles contribute to its eclectic appeal. The Stallion on Canvas Board with Ant Frame also reflects the Ralph Lauren inspiration, recalling the gilded frames and equestrian oil paintings common in 1990s advertising. This version features a slightly less ornate black-rimmed frame and a burnished quality to offer a more accessible integration into modern design styles. Finally, the Eucalyptus Leaf Arrangement is included among Shea's favorites for its organic shape, which mimics foraged fall branches, and its placement within an aesthetically pleasing vessel. This arrangement is presented as a way to incorporate fall colors into home décor. These selected items collectively represent the design ethos of the new fall collection, aiming to blend classic influences with contemporary sensibilities. #FallDecor #ThresholdStudioMcGee #HomeDecor #InteriorDesign #SheaMcGee #RalphLaurenInspired #SeasonalDecor #CeramicArt #TextileDesign
