When it comes to timeless yet stylish interiors, no one does it quite like Shea McGee. And that energy is also matched when it comes to the Memorial Day sales.
As one of the first retailers to drop early Memorial Day deals (thanks, Shea!), I headed straight to McGee & Co. to see what they had on offer before the best bits sold out. But before I could round up my favorites, I discovered they'd done the hard work for me, and Shea's picks had this seasoned shopping editor won over.
From pretty plaid prints to heirloom-worthy furniture, the sale is packed with everything you need to style a summer space that feels warm, thoughtful, and curated, for less. Here are the pieces I'm personally shopping from Shea's edit that I think are the most versatile, special, or worth adding to your basket (and why).
Teasing us with an Instagram post this week, Shea said her sale picks will 'make your home feel effortlessly refreshed and summer-ready' – and I'm looking to test her theory.
But her edit isn't packed with punchy summer brights or poolside decor as one might associate with the season; it instead declares this as a summer of quiet luxury.
Think warm wood tones, patio furniture deals on vintage-inspired pieces, and a mix-and-match of subtle prints – from cottagecore florals to soft plaids, including a scene-stealing gingham oven mitt that Shea claims 'stole the show' in their latest shoot, that is currently down to just $37.80.
Avid cooks will love this chic linen oven mitt that is 'equal parts function and charm.' Whether for elevating your home bakes or adding some print to your kitchen when hung over the range, this is a practical yet pretty sale buy.
Shop Shea's Memorial Day sale picks
Whether you've been eyeing up pieces from the McGee & Co. spring collection or simply looking for the excuse for a summer refresh, you can shop designer for less with Shea's 30% off sale.
I set my sights on this playful pillow since the McGee & Co. outdoor collection dropped earlier this year. The red, white, and blue striped fabric is crafted from yarn-dyed PET, which boasts weather-resistant durability for a charming addition to your sofascaping, al fresco.
The Alberta accent chairs are a stand-out piece from the latest collection – in fact, you'll notice Shea perched on one in her latest post, seen above. I love the little ball detailing on the top of the chair, as well as the warm honey oak tone that perfectly complements the natural seagrass. Style as a pair or alone to create a cozy reading corner.
For those looking to pick up a few finishing touch items in the sales, I love this brass shell. Sure, it doesn't serve much of a purpose, but it certainly will look stylish atop your coffee table, mantel, or shelves to create a chic vignette with some books and the Ionic Pedestal, also in the sale.
Fans of the Ralph Lauren aesthetic will love this vintage-style racket art. With its charming sporting motif and weathered wood frame, this will look timeless yet fun hung above a bed (as Shea styles it) or displayed proudly in your home office.
If you're looking to create a beautiful tablescape this summer, it all starts with a great base. This seafoam green hue is one of the biggest color trends of the year and works lovely in this soft plaid print thanks to the airy, 100% linen textile.
As a fan of decorating with vintage, I'm definitely buying into the wrought iron outdoor decorating trend that is everywhere this summer. The Pomeroy collection has been made from intricately detailed power-coated steel. I'm eyeing up these chairs and the matching Pomeroy Outdoor Bistro Table.
Nightstands remain a popular McGee & Co. buy, thanks to Shea's unique eye for design. I love the chunkiness of this organic-style side table that has been finished with a honed granite top for extra elegance. It's chic and provides plenty of storage, too.
Featured in Shea's Instagram round-up of her Memorial Day picks, this sweet, satin glazed ceramic table lamp has been topped with a charming gingham pleated shade. Perfect for adding print to your bedside, entryway table, or even your kitchen countertops.
Inspired by a vintage floral that Shea found, the Kitteredge print features a lovely summer-ready tiny floral print in a palette of rust red, olive green, and soft lavenders. They're also made from 100% linen for a soft touch.
While Memorial Day is still a little way away and most of your favorite brands are still waiting to drop their deals (they can't all be as early as Shea), I've been busy behind the scenes rounding up the best Memorial Day home sales – from furniture deals to upgrade indoors to patio furniture deals to get you ready for summer.
