“I’ve always been a fan of the quality and craftsmanship that Kohler adheres to. You can tell that it’s a  fixture that will stand the test of time,” says Shea McGee.

“For my own collection, I went deep into the Kohler archives to find some of the historical details and styling that make a fixture timeless. From there, I gave them modern updates for a mix that’s uniquely Studio McGee.”

Known for her signature aesthetic that she shares with millions of design enthusiast fans, whether it be through her popular social media channels, starring on Netflix’s “Dream Home Makeover,” her newly released Sessions by MasterClass, or her books—the New York Times best-selling “Make Life Beautiful” and highly anticipated upcoming title “The Art of Home,” Shea has been using Kohler products since Studio McGee’s inception and more recently in her own home.

“Working with Shea is an exciting endeavor that combines her highly coveted style with the expertise and craftmanship that’s synonymous with Kohler,” says Samie Barr, chief brand officer at Kohler.

“Shea’s collections with KOHLER and ANN SACKS pair seamlessly for customers who aspire to explore new possibilities and create their own unique spaces throughout the home.”
