Premise
Dream Home Makeover follows Shea and Syd McGee (of Studio McGee) as they help dreams come true for real families looking to update their home tailored to their own unique style.[3] A typical episode has the couple working with a client on a renovation project in their home. The budget outlined by the clients range greatly, as some projects are just a single room while others are entire homes.[4] Tying the episodic renovation storylines together, the show also acts as a documentary of the McGees; viewers get an intimate look into the McGees' personal life as they run Studio McGee, raise their three young daughters, and often make renovations on their own dream home.
According to “10 Fun Facts From Dream Home Makeover,” the firm says: “our show was completely unscripted!”[5][6]
