She brought me in as an architectural consultant on both projects and the experiences were very collaborative and professionally rewarding. She is always looking for alternative solutions and respects the other team members and professionals involved. She also pays close attention to the project goals, budgets and scheduling. **Comment from McIntyre By Design:** > Thank you Rob! I enjoyed working with you on the Portland Casita project, as well as the Ashland new rental house project. Thank you for your kind review. **★★★★★ — katycolson, March 2015** > Remodeling a home from 2,035 miles away is not an easy task. McIntyre By Design was an integral part of the process. Annie made spot on paint selections, consulted with our contractor on floor plan and helped to steer the overall design of our new space. **★★★★★ — noisynest, Feb. 2015** > I worked with Annie of McIntyre By Design to help with the interior design of my new home. I am extremely please with the end result! Annie helped me pick the perfect colors for the walls and her eye for placement of furnishing and flow is excellent. I now have the exact house I dreamed about having thanks in large part to Annie. I recommend her and her services highly. **Comment from McIntyre By Design:** > It was wonderful to co-create your space with you. You have so many wonderful treasures, they just needed the right wall colors and arrangements to support the beauty you all ready had. I really enjoyed working with you! **★★★★★ — Bayberry Inn, Feb. 2015** > Annie McIntyre from McIntyre By Design was recommended to me by Miller Paint when I was struggling to find the right colors for my house. Annie was professional, came prepared and was easy to work with. She has a lot of knowledge and gave me a lot of tips which were useful. I would recommend her. **★★★★★ — suzango, Jan. 2015** > From my first hour working with Annie (McIntyre by Design), she has proved herself invaluable to my home remodel process. In addition to her refreshing design sense, she is versatile and knowledgable. But most importantly, she is a great communicator, and has helped facilitate and vastly improve so many decisions I have struggled with. I recommend her highly! **Comment from McIntyre By Design:** > Thank you for your kind words! > It's been a pleasure to get to know you, and support you through the process of redesigning and remodeling your home. **★★★★★ — ashlanduck, Feb. 2014** > Hired to consult on kitchen renovation including lighting, cabinets, counter tops and painting. Very happy with the service provided. Excellent color coordination. **★★★★★ — allencrutcher, Oct. 2013** > Annie McIntyre helped me establish a color scheme for a renovation in my house. I'm an architect and feel I have a good capacity for design decisions but I was stumped. Annie came in with an organized, professional approach, a knowledge and facility with colors, and a range of high quality samples to consider, all of which helped me make confident choices, saved me a lot of time---probably doing things once and then doing them over again. Annie had just the right blend of listening and considering my preferences and giving me clear advice. I'm very happy with the results. I would recommend Annie McIntyre to anyone needing interior design services. **★★★★★ — Coleman Creek Construction, Oct. 2013** > Annie is gifted at listening to what the clients area looking for and communicating her vision back to them. She has an amazing eye for color and for how different design style elements can work together to create something fresh and innovative. And Annie is a pleasure to work with; we can't recommend her enough. **★★★★★ — sorghum, Oct. 2013** > Annie made the overwhelming task of choosing colors for our new house easy and fun. The color palate we ended up with makes our house feel rich and yummy. She is chock full of ideas for affordable ways to create a beautiful home. **★★★★ — zurieldesign, Oct. 2013** > I worked with Annie McIntyre on a landscape project for a restaurant. I knew based on her design experience and keen eye that she was right for the job. I needed help with outdoor lighting and plant options to create a tropical feel for the Asian/Latin fusion esthetic. Annie was very hands on resourcing lighting and plant options... I was very impressed with her professionalism and positive, ambitious drive. Annie is very punctual and ready to work with the client. Upon completing this successful project, we landed another landscape project for the restaurant owner's home. This was a very challenging project, with unforeseen obstacles due to soil conditions. However, we adjusted easily and upon completion, the landscape looked amazing and the client was very happy. I can say Annie is a solid individual who gets the job done with professional grace. I would recommend her for any design job... It is a pleasure working with her! **★★★★★ — tracylrice, Sept. 2013** > I rent a house that was designed by Annie and absolutely love everything about it. The flow, the space, the look and feel are all worth mentioning as it's the best rental I've had the privilege of living in (and I've been in at least a dozen over the years). It's one of the hottest rentals in our town so again, feel very lucky to be here. > > In addition, I've had the opportunity to see some other work of hers and would highly recommend her for anyone that's looking for a remodel, upgrade, something different that truly 'fits' them (she's an excellent color consultant which is a huge bonus) or just wants an opinion on how to improve any space inside or out. She's more than a designer; she really learns and understands her client to give them what 'they' want. **★★★★★ — Golden-Fields Construction and Design, Ltd, Sept. 2013** > I worked with Annie on a kitchen remodel a few months ago. She was great to work with. She really helped facilitating the design and selection process. She was great at working with the clients and helping them clarify their design, working out space needs, materials and pallet. I would highly recommend her for kitchen design. ## Selected projects - [The Atelier of 7th Street](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-atelier-of-7th-street-pj-vj~76333) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 36 - Description: This structure was an old dirt floored workshop/shed.

What material did you use to cover the balcony? A: It's Polycarbonate roof panel in clear - I think the brand Suntuf was used. Let me know if you have any more questions, All the best, Annie **Q: what colour stain did you use on the deck?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Thanks for your question. This is unstained reclaimed wood, there is no stain applied. **Q: Wall color** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you tell me the wall color you used to match this tub and tile? A: There is white wainscoting, and then I repeated the blue bathtub color on the walls above. . **Q: Do you remember the wall color? Bungalow perfect!** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Yes, the color is Devine Foam, it used to be sourced by Miller Paint. I think they changed distributors - You can find them on line at - https://www.devinecolor.com/ **Q: All color** *(in Photo Questions)* What is the color on the walls? Thanks A: I used two colors - The blue/green is Devine Foam, and the white is Devine Whip. - https://www.devinecolor.com/shop-trend-proof-colors/green/color/devine-foam, https://www.devinecolor.com/collections/pebbles-and-cream/color/devine-whip. If you have any other questions, I am happy to help. **Q: Love this Corrugated Metal Siding! Where can we get our hands on some of that?** *(in Photo Questions)* Hi. We absolutely LOVE this metal siding. We were hoping you could tell us where you got it from. We are building our house in Alaska and would love to use this look to side our garage/green house. Thanks! -Jamie A: Hi sophieb, Yes, I took a reclaimed water trough I found at a local metal yard, and drilled several holes in the bottom of it for drainage. They are great for fish ponds/water plants if you don;t want to drill holes in them. You can find these new at farm supply stores, they just wont have the same patina.
