About Gracious Living
Blend your dreams and favorite possessions
into timeless, comfortable, classic style
Molly McIntosh
Some people just have a good eye for design. So Molly McIntosh discovered over 20 years ago when she sought help with her home from an interior design firm—and ended up being hired to work there! She should have known—even at five she insisted that her whole bedroom be done in pink from top to bottom and was constantly moving her furniture and “accessorizing.”
Now an award-winning interior designer (with a much expanded color palette) and the talent behind the name Gracious Living Interior Design, Molly is known for her warm, gracious environments that inspire you to make your home the center of your life.
Pleasing design begins with Molly’s ability to ask questions and listen carefully as you explore your needs and desires and work together to define your own style. Open communication throughout the design process helps develop trust, confidence, and a comfortable, working relationship. Building on your input, Molly guides your consideration of such elements as your home’s existing features and proportions, the sources of light, and the function required of each space. From these pieces evolve gracious, warm, and inspired rooms—unique spaces that tell your own personal story in a timeless way.
Professional affiliations reinforce Molly’s commitment to excellence. She has been a member of Northwest Society of Interior Designers (NWSID) since 1989. In 1994 she passed the Interior Design Society professional examination, becoming a professional member of NWSID and, in 1997, an Allied Member of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID). Since 2000, she’s been listed in the International Who’s Who in Interior Design™ and Who’s Who in America™.
