Interesting autobiography

I knew nothing of Syd and Shea McGee before I picked up Make Life Beautiful. Having read this autobiography which covers from their college days up until present day (2020), they now feel like new friends who invited me into their social circle and shared their story. Their journey held my attention as they experienced seasons of joy, times of disappointment, and everything in between. While Syd and Shea Mcgee share about their business and Shea’s designs, it is primarily an autobiography. There are some embedded principles, but it is not a how-to or self-help book. I think the book needed a photo section, especially since so much of Shea’s story includes her designs. I recommend Make Life Beautiful by Syd and Shea McGee to any of their fans interested in learning about this couple.

Like sitting with a friend

This book is like sitting on the couch and talking to friends. It's part love story, part design manual, part follow your dreams and make it happen. It was just the balm I needed. The writing is lovely.

A pleasant surprise

First of all, I was expecting this to be a coffee table book when I pre-ordered it, but boy oh boy am I glad it wasn't because this book has quickly become one of my favorite inspiring books I've read (ever). I finished the book quickly and felt a sense of connection to Syd and Shea upon finishing it, and cannot wait for them to put out more personal content like this because WOW, it hit home. A great read!

Birth of a Family Business

It is a pleasure to get to know Shea and Syd McGee in their heartwarming memoir, MAKE LIFE BEAUTIFUL. This delightful couple reveals how they met, launched and grew a family AND their famous design business, Studio McGee, which attracts 1.2 million followers on Instagram. They share success principles, too, that you can apply to your own life. They remind me of another famous design couple, Chip and Joanna Gaines, who also started small and grew an empire. MAKE LIFE BEAUTIFUL is missing one element: Photos of the McGee’s gorgeous design projects, which would add beauty and luster to their story. Nonetheless, I highly recommend this engaging book to Studio McGee fans, interior design buffs, and entrepreneurs who want to achieve success in the age of social media. 5 of 5 Stars Pub Date 27 Oct 2020 Thanks to the authors, Harper Horizon, and NetGalley for the review copy. Opinions are mine. #MakeLifeBeautiful #NetGalley
