This was the most fabulous experience. I had never hired an interior designer before... thought it was too expensive and my project wouldn't be big enough.... WRONG! Called SKP and spoke with Sondra... so nice on the phone. Vaguely described what I was looking for... (because I really didn't know what I needed!!).. and we made a consultation appointment. Sondra was here for over an hour... and in that time gave me soooo many ideas and recommendations. Small changes... that have made a HUGE difference. I should have called SKP a long time ago!!! I would definitely recommend Sondra/SKP .... Best money I have ever spent on my house. Looking forward to reaching out to her when it is time to redo my bathroom. My experience was professional, personal and FUN! Thanks again!!! ### All 33 reviews **★★★★★ — HU-73147705, April 2025** > Sondra was a pleasure to work with. SKP Design was very helpful in making selections for my new lake house. Her finish and furniture selection are second to none! **★★★★★ — nataliemiller24, Dec. 2024** > I worked with Sondra to renovate a lake home we recently purchased. She helped me design a new kitchen and bathroom, as well as finishes throughout our lower level. > > She also assisted with helping us to find a contractor, a kitchen cabinet supplier as well as selecting flooring, tiles, and paint colors. We appreciated her help, and she was mindful of our budget. **★★★★★ — Ma Sum, Dec. 2024** > We were working within the footprint of our existing lake home and SKP Design assisted us in maximizing our space and opening up our kitchen to our sunroom. This really gave us spectacular views of the lake from our kitchen, as well as a fun place for family and friends to gather at a bar counter that directly connects the kitchen and sunroom. It is a feature that everyone raves about it, but also makes it possible for the lake breezes to blow through the cabin - which is an amazing feeling. **★★★★★ — mkvandriel, Dec. 2024** > Sondra helped us bring a contemporary twist to our lake home - she worked with a skilled millworker to create custom pieces. Her ability to mesh new design ideas with important existing design elements in our home was appreciated. **★★★★★ — Julie Voisard, Dec. 2024** > I worked with Sondra to update my newly purchased lake home. Her team drew up plans for a new lower level kitchen and to turn our main floor half bath into a full bath with a shower. She also selected and coordinated installation of beautiful flooring throughout the main floor and lower level. She picked a beautiful paint color for all levels and recommended a wonderful painter. She ordered beautiful black sliding door for our main floor office and recommended a black shower door to tie the two rooms together. I love all the choices of products and she recommended great contractors. **★★★★★ — HU-219525093, Feb. 2023** > Sondra was excellent with my “High Style” design. She assisted in all the fabric choices, furniture and wallpaper selections. When I moved to Gull Lake from out of state I had no furniture having sold it with my previous home and Sondra was the > perfect person to help construct my new life here! Susan M **★★★★★ — HU-372612725, Jan. 2023** > Sondra has helped us with several remodeling projects and her guidance is always spot on and so valuable! Whether working with our 92 year old home or our modern lake front property, her unique ideas and insight have been the key to turning our design vision into reality. **★★★★★ — jmortier, Jan. 2023** > We enjoyed working with SKP Design to create a new look for our guest rooms. The design is simple and contemporary. We like the fun pop of color in the bathrooms and the custom headboards with built in lighting that create ambiance in the room. **★★★★★ — Timi Wysong, Jan. 2023** > After researching our options in the area, we chose Sondra and are so glad we did! She has a way of bringing her expertise to the table while incorporating our personal preferences. My previous designer with a different project kept pushing for things that were that designers taste, not mine. Sondra went with our sense of style that we wanted and then combined that with her expertise to create an amazingly dreamy atmosphere. She is absolutely fantastic!! **★★★★★ — David VD, April 2021** > I went with Sondra and SKP Design after sending out a flurry of requests to local interior design companies. Most of them didn't even respond, but a couple/few did. Sondra just had the right communication style right off the bat for my gut to go with her. I'm glad I did. She knows her stuff, and she really helped me navigate the process of selecting a style and general color scheme for my house. Then, she helped me zero in on the exact tones (or is it shades or hues?!) of the colors I'd decided upon as well as the carpet style and color. In a world of too much information and choice, interior design is near the top of the list in things like that, and I was overwhelmed. Sondra helped distill it for me after listening to the information that I had encountered during my initial design research. Her experience and creativity really came through. I think the best part of working with Sondra, though, is her personality. She instantly feels like an old friend and I was immediately comfortable with her and trusting of her abilities. I could go on, but you really have enough to go on to give her a call and find out for yourself. You can't go wrong! **★★★★★ — sharon, Oct. 2019** > We had a consult at SKP Design office where designers answered our questions and provided suggestions for our renovation (overlays were used for ideas) Prior to meeting we had provided pictures of the project and layout. Our projects include kitchen and master bath reno, feature wall in living room to update dated gas fireplace, and opening up pass through from dining area to living area. We discussed kitchen and bathroom design options including floor plan, traffic flow, considerations for finishes. Ideas for furniture placement also reviewed.. Great ideas and recommendation from designer Krishna. **Comment from SKP Design:** > It was great meeting with you and your husband at our Open Studio last week. We are looking forward to seeing how your projects progress! **★★★★★ — Derrick Johnson, April 2019** > The team @ Echo Etching has collaborated with Sondra (and the SKP team) over the past 15+ years bringing her clients stylish architectural glass designs. Sondra's open-minded curiosity paired with her design vision is a recipe for the unique, one-of-a-kind solutions that truly set SKP Design apart. For your next project, team up with SKP Design to create that exciting and functional living space that will be the focal point of your home. **Comment from SKP Design:** > It's always a pleasure working with you as well. Your design resources are infinite and your team is extremely creative! **★★★★★ — User, Oct. 2018** > First project with SKP went great. Everyone one their team is very talented and professional. I have some very unique projects coming up and I will definitely be using SKP Design again. **★★★★★ — Fff Ffff, Feb. 2018** > My husband and I just finished the enormous undertaking of building our custom dream home. After interviewing area interior designers, we hired SKP Design. I worked almost exclusively with lead designer and project manager, Cassandra Ritchie. Cassi proved to be an invaluable asset to us in the building process and was intimately involved from exterior material selection down to furniture placement. I have so many good things to say about Cassi! She is the consummate professional- organized, knowledgeable, quick to respond, reliable, and articulate. She has fabulous taste and is up to date on design trends. Creatively, I felt comfortable brainstorming with Cassi. She spoke my language and was able to execute the vision. Cassi used computer programs like Sketchup and Photoshop to depict complicated design concepts like our custom fireplace. She also provided our builder with in-depth technical drawings using AutoCAD, helping to ensure our vision came to life. Cassi worked tirelessly as a liaison between us and our builder and subcontractors. She coordinated meetings, dealt with pricing/budgeting, trouble shot issues, and often propelled the build timeline forward. Cassi’s competence and genuine enthusiasm for our home made the project more enjoyable for me. Many people warned us that building a house can be one of the most stressful endeavors in life... but I had a lot of fun with Cassi in our corner! If we ever build again, we’re calling Cassi! **★★★★★ — Jennifer, March 2017** > Sondra helped us pick out our backsplash and house paint colors. She was patient and provided us with many options and samples until we were completely satisfied. We love her work and the new look of our home. **★★★★ — Todd Brunner, Dec. 2016** > Sondra took what was a very challenging project in terms of scope and schedule and with her team turned out an incredible project. We have received nothing but positive comments from the guests enjoying the details of the spaces they helped design. Great job. I would recommend them anytime and look forward to our next project together. **★★★★★ — Renee Cherette, Dec. 2016** > Great Team and Stellar Design, from beginning to end, not one (I) was not dot or (T) not crossed.... Enjoyed the whole process! Sondra the team leader is very talented and so pleasant to work with! They worked hard on being with-in the budget and on time! > > Thank you! > Renee **★★★★★ — Michele Marquardt, Dec. 2016** > Sondra, Qian and the team worked with us to make sure our kitchen project met or exceeded our vision. It was true in design to the style of our home and also fit our personal lifestyle. I recommend SKP Design without hesitation. **★★★★★ — Dunes Development, April 2015** > I worked with Sondra for a project at Chikaming Country Club. The club converted a portion of its dining space into a Grille Room. The design leveraged the key features already present, included tasteful materials and converted the space into a highly functional dual purpose room. The project was a tremendous success. **★★★★★ — charsmithone, Feb. 2015** > We have collaborated on countless projects with SKP Design for over 15 years. They are very thorough and have great ideas. Sondra and her staff go the extra mile to create the perfect image that you desire. They work with your budget and you will love the end result. **★★★★★ — jeanqueen, Feb. 2015** > I know Sondra both personally and professionally. I am her Realtor and experienced first hand tje transformation of her new home. You wouldn't even recognize it! I felt the basement was uninhabitable but she proved me wrong. Not only is it gorgeous she added a bathroom! I always recommend Sondra to my friends and clients! **★★★★★ — azolakes, Feb. 2015** > SKP has designed two major projects for us - a complete kitchen and dining renovation at our house in the City and a significant master suite addition at our lake house. Both projects were very well done, far exceeding our expectations for the potential of our homes. These projects were intimidating to us but SKP really helped us get through the process step by step. The owner helped us achieve our vision and brought great ideas to further enhance it. We get endless compliments on these spaces, how great they look, how well they function, how well they fit in with the rest of our property and reflect our tastes. > > I would not hesitate to recommend SKP to anyone considering a major home improvement project. **★ — Nna, Feb. 2015** > I had a horrible experience with this company. I never write reviews, but felt I had a responsibility to warn customers out there. In the middle of the project, the payment schedule was changed unilaterally by the company without my knowing under the pretense that my requests went beyond the scope of what our contract stipulated. I double checked, and no such thing occurred. Everything I requested was on the list on changes I sent them at the beginning of the negotiations. I ended up paying double for one set of drawing, instead of one initial and one correction as agreed upon. And of course to illustrate the owner's lack of detail, she sent me someone else's plan first. rhe major issue that really made me worried about her skills is the sketch made absolutely no senses esthetically. People in my living room would be able to see me in my bathroom. It seems the plan was drawn by someone who just did not know space layout. I was done! Please do not go to this company. Degrees mean nothing. This woman just does not know space. She is an interior designer. Do not let her lay out your plans! Now she was very pleasant, but do not let that fool you. I was fooled myself. **★★★★★ — afainsinger, Nov. 2014** > We have been trying for four years to find the right plan for our kitchen remodel. After five different designers, Sondra came through with a beautiful plan. Not only did she bring outside-the-box concepts, but she was there every step of the way to bring our vision to life. We love the results! She has a great sense of the aesthetics and was able to work within our budget and timelines. **★★★★★ — Connie McWethy, Nov. 2014** > What does a retired, interior designer do when she and her husband decide it's time for updates around their home of 20 years? I still have a good eye, but I haven't worked for 10 years! I wanted to make certain I'm not dating our home with old fashioned notions! So I hired Sondra Phillips of SKP Design to consult with us along the way of replacing flooring in all our bedrooms, family room and designing our new kitchen. > > Sondra has lots of commercial and residential experience and she definitely keeps abreast of what's current! Thanks to SKP, we have a cool, yet practical carpet in our family room we never knew existed. The new-style carpet squares are eco-friendly, too! If we damage an area, we only need replace the damaged squares instead of replacing the whole carpet. It was easy to install around a couch in the same room! > > Sondra is creative and delightful to work with! Together we made certain the new furnishings coordinated with what is already working and staying in our home! A thousand thanks Sondra for coordinating with and teaching "old dogs new tricks!" We are grateful for your input! **★★★★★ — User, Nov. 2014** > We have collaborated on several projects with SKP Design. Sondra and her staff have been wonderful to work with. They are thorough, detailed and have wonderful ideas. They're fantastic at creating "WOW"! > Wow, within budget... love that! **★★★★★ — Janice Brown, June 2013** > It has been a pleasure working with Sondra to prepare for our new lifestyle living downtown. She was always open to our tastes and ideas, and offered her own as well. She was well prepared and took pictures, notes and comments to help in her work. The recommendations were very complimentary to what we brought into the apartment and she made the most of what we wanted to work. I would hire her again any time. She is thorough, thoughtful and fun to work with on projects. We have had many compliments on the layout and the paint color which she selected. **★★★★★ — speakitforwardinc, May 2013** > We hired SKP Design to help us conceptualize a new office space we were moving into for our non-profit organization. The ideas and concepts were great and timely and the service provided fit within our budget. The office is now finished and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. **★★★★★ — susannf89, Nov. 2012** > Sondra did a fabulous job designing our new Frozen Yogurt Shop and all our customers are commenting on how nice it looks. With her knowledge and experience she knew what we wanted and made it complete. With all the colors and textures she chose everything comes together perfectly. We really enjoyed working with Sondra, she was able to stay within our budget and showed us a variety of different items to choose from. This was our first experience working with a designer and I can say that I'm definitely satisfied. **★★★★★ — Natalie Valentine, Nov. 2012** > Sondra is wonderful to work with and she understands how to work within a budget. She is always is trying to find ways to achieve your desired look while staying within certain price parameters. She has a wonderful dedicated staff who can get you samples in a timely manner and she has many right there in her office. Her newest design venture called Interior Design Schemes is sure to help a lot of do it your self entrepreneurs achieve the professional look for their business without the stress and cost usually associated with interior design. **★★★★★ — aprileliz, Nov. 2012** > Sondra helped design my salon 2yrs ago. I needed direction and was on a budget. She not only saved me money, but gave me a look and feel to the space that appeals to both my make and female clients! She asked questions about my desired impressions for the guests and then suggested an informal spa theme. It included a medium sky blue, tan, deep brown, and textures, like a carpet that has a raised wanted pattern. Sondra looked at my floor plan and gave "traffic flow" pattern ideas & suggestions to keep it practical, and provided solutions to give appeal, like her idea of double swinging half doors for our back room. This gave privacy, but not so much that if on break, one would not notice a new guest entering. I found she helped me think through and decide things efficiently. I would not think of doing a space again without her! **★★★★★ — azoeld, Nov. 2012** > Our thanks to SKP for their advice and consultation in the design of our home interior. Lots of positive reviews from our guests as well. ## Selected projects - [Crooked Lake Delton](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/crooked-lake-delton-pj-vj~7563869) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Wall Lake](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wall-lake-pj-vj~7563878) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Primary Bath Oasis](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/primary-bath-oasis-pj-vj~7107886) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Lake Doster Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-doster-residence-pj-vj~7125329) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 27 - [Crane Avenue Addition and Fireplace](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/crane-avenue-addition-and-fireplace-pj-vj~7098171) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - Description: The general scope of this project was a small addition to facilitate a much needed upgrade to the kitchen.
