A reason to slow down—

—in the McGee household. “Celebrating Valentine’s Day with my girls while they’re still young is a precious memory,” Shea explains. “Syd and I try our best to step away from work and make the time to create memories with our girls in our kitchen, taking the opportunity to remind them just how loved they are.”

Take a peek inside Valentine’s Day morning in the McGee household below, where Syd and Shea, Wren, Ivy, and Margot gather at the dining table to share a meal styled around love. “My mom always made holidays special, even the little ones,” says Shea, “and I love passing that along to my own family.”

“Setting a beautiful tablescape is just as much fun for me if there’s my entire extended family there or just the five of us. These special, and quiet, breakfasts at home remind me of what I love about design, the opportunity to bring people together in a setting that elicits joy.”
