'Dream Home Makeover' Season 2: What is Syd and Shea's net worth? Here's how much a makeover will cost you
The brainchild of Shea and Syd McGee, Studio McGee was born out of Shea's love for all things design and Syd's prowess for handling business. The firm takes pride in its philosophy — to 'make life beautiful' — an idea that's very often reflected on the show as well. Although Shea has a degree in communications and was working in PR, her love for all things design made her take a leap of faith and get into interior design. Syd, on the other hand, looks at the technical aspect of the business. This involves a lot of the nitty gritties that we don't often see on screen.
But running a whole company, including a firm and an e-commerce website, is no easy feat and that's where Syd steps in, allowing Shea to be the creative powerhouse between the two. Prior to landing the show deal with Netflix, the duo frequently documented their work on social media and gathered quite a following, thanks to their wonderfully clean and homey aesthetic. Seriously, their social media looks like a literal catalogue.
How much would it cost to hire Studio McGee?
Let's say in a perfect world you've found your ultimate dream home and you want none other than Studio McGee to deck it up for you. While the show implies that the couple will go through great lengths to make your home perfect, irrespective of the budget, by the look of most episodes, you'd definitely require a good budget to get what you want.
While Studio McGee doesn't have price listings — they cater only to inquires — the show indicates that working with the McGees isn't cheap. After all, homes as beautiful as the ones they create is bound to be a bit pricey. Pricing here depends on a range of factors — the size of your home, consultation and the items that'll be used to furnish your home. Either way, it's definitely within a couple of thousands, at least.
If you find yourself falling short on the budget here, you can always take inspiration from the couple and just DIY it. McGee and Co does have a range of homeware that bears Shea's signature style (you know it — all white, everything).
Syd and Shea's net worth is growing
While Studio McGee is all about keeping it creative, the couple's intense entrepreneurial streak is quite hard to ignore. Apart from the cheque drawn in from 'Dream Home Makeover', the couple also handles a range of clients across the US under their firm, Studio McGee. And finally, there's their e-commerce site McGee and Co. that sells homeware. Taking into account that the couple also does collaborations, like the one with Threshold for Target, book deals and more, the couple is definitely making big bucks. Currently, their net worth is at an estimated $5M. And for a couple that literally started from scratch, seeing that they switched careers and all, that's an impressive figure for sure.
