"I've worked with decorators in the Chicago suburbs. Sister Bay Trading has the selection and the quality. The samples were right at my fingertips. They had the resources to choose from. We've dreamed about this house for many, many years and our dreams came true. The way we furnished it is just the way I wanted it. It's just perfect. You can tell how satisfied we are."

Customer Testimonials

"We felt very strongly about hiring professional interior designers to make each unit fit the buyers' personal style. We wanted our units to look beautiful inside, as well as outside. That's why we hired the staff at Sister Bay Trading."

- Chris Hubertz, Pres. Blue Shore Develpment Co.

"Since 1999 we experienced the world class service provided by Sister Bay Trading. Their creativity in interior design, complete project oversight, and their friendly, professional approach makes them a one of a kind interior design team. Decorating our Door County home has been such a rewarding experience that we are now enlisting their services to redecorate our Chicago home. As always, we highly recommend the Sister Bay Trading interior design team for all of your decorating needs."

- Laura and Michael Piccatto, Horseshoe Bay Farms

"We did an interview process with a number of designers and ultimately chose Sister Bay Trading. We were impressed with Marilyn Jensen’s ideas. We wanted to work with a local firm. Overall, their end product was quite pleasing due to their staff. Staff members went above and beyond the call of duty to make they sure it was a good project."

- Merton Drake, owners representative, The Resort at Pheasant Park

"This is the first major refurbishing I’ve been involved in. In the past, we did piecework - we bought carpet one year and couches the next. But, if you do piecework, you don’t know what the end product is going to look like. We found that by tapping the professionalism of the interior designers at Sister Bay Trading Company, we made sure everything was going to tie together cohesively at the end."

- Jason Aipperspach, The Resort at Pheasant Park

"What amazed me about Sister Bay Trading Company was that for people who didn’t know me they knew so quickly the kind of things I liked and the style I was looking for in our home. Most of the furnishings I ended up buying were not on display in the store, but suggested by the designers. But, because of the quality of the items in the store, I knew I could count on the things I ordered."

- Barb Martin

"I was obviously enthusiastic about our condo, but less enthusiastic about dealing with the furniture. The very first time we met with Marilyn and her staff at our condo. After listening to our ideas and hearing we had upgraded the carpeting, Marilyn left to pick out carpet samples. When we got there a half hour later, she had all of her recommendations laid out. I was impressed. We were accomplishing something!"

- Jack Jucewicz

"There’s a benefit to working with a smaller company like Sister Bay Trading Company. When you call, you can talk to someone you know. It’s someone that has been to your home and knows exactly what you are talking about. At Sister Bay Trading Company they just want to get it done right."

- Dennis Mandick

"We’ve called on the design professionals at Sister Bay Trading to assist us in decorating two homes in Door County and our home in Chicago, as well. Marilyn makes an effort to get to know her customers. We were looking for style and comfort and she did everything possible to help us achieve our goals. We’ve always been very happy with the work she’s done for us and easily recommend her to our friends and neighbors."

- Susan Moore

- Sally Yurs

"They always called back and always followed up. They provided excellent customer service wherever we might be. There are a lot of decorators that believe it is their home and they are allowing you to live in it. It's not that way with Sister Bay Trading. One of the real strengths of Sister Bay Trading is that they can listen to what we wanted and bring it to reality."

- Mark & Cheryl Falb

"We own a number of our own furniture stores in the South but chose to purchase some of our own furniture, fabrics and accessories through Sister Bay Trading Company for our home here. Shopping locally for these items was both convenient and pleasurable! In our stores, we take great pride in providing excellent customer service to our clients. From selection to deliver and setup, Sister Bay Trading Company far exceeded our expectations!"

- Gwen Ten Broek

"The staff is very dependable and creative. They were excellent with the follow-through and getting back to me promptly. They were at our home when we couldn't be there physically while electrical and other contractors were there working. That's a big load off of your mind when you are building. Faxes only go so far. You need someone there to touch and feel the product. They were very helpful. I love the choices of fabrics for bedcovers and pillows!"

- Lisa J. Heiderman, Horseshoe Bay Farms

"We asked three different design firms to submit multiple color schemes. Sister Bay Trading Company was chosen for two reasons. They were really creative and offered good design. And, they were able to provide us commercial furniture with a residential feel. We have so many return guests here. We need to blend the old with the new so our guests felt they were coming back to what was familiar. Sister Bay Trading Company was able to do that, especially with the window treatments and accessories."

- Denise Stillman, General Manager, Westwood Shores

"So many times a designer will come in and try to put their own stamp on the project in contrast to the theme or style desired by the developer or owner. This isn't the case with Sister Bay Trading Company. They ar every flexible and do good work in any direction. It really is a strength of theirs. We will continue to work with them in the future."

- Peter Reddin, developer

"We owe the professionals at Sister Bay Trading Company a great deal of thanks for insightful design plans which ultimately led to creating the warmth we are now experiencing in our new Door County home. Kudos to the entire design team for giving us meaningful direction when we were at an impasse regarding design, furniture selection and color coordination."

- Amy & Tom Tadych, Brooks Farm, Egg Harbor

"I have one of "those" husbands who dreads the thought of shopping anywhere. However, as we drove into town for the New Year's holiday and drove past Sister Bay Trading Co. he commented that after our wonderful experience at SBTC last year (where the men sat in the massage chair and comfy sofas, eating snacks and watching football) he would gladly return and "let" me shop to my hearts content! The ultimate compliment!"

- Leslie Kabat

"One thing that was especially rewarding was the subtle way in which Marilyn calmed any fears about final outcomes. She's highly experienced and knows what she's doing...she simply exudes a confidence that raises your comfort level in yielding her inputs and suggestions. Without question, we would recommend Sister Bay Trading Co. Most importantly, we would trust Marilyn and her staff to complete any interior design job - from start to finish - with skill, taste and commitment!"

- Steve and Jackie Krisik

"Installing blinds in all 294 condo suites was a big job. The project was done in a timely fashion, with professionalism. Any issues raised during the installation were addressed immediately. Ben was cited numerous times for his responsiveness. Overall, your staff did an excellent job, and was easy to work with. You have raised the bar, and set a new standard of excellence. Patti and the entire staff at the Landmark Resort look forward to a long and mutually-rewarding relationship."

- Jeffery A. Larson, Landmark Resort

"Building our summer home in Door County while living in Texas would have been impossible without the expert help of Marilyn Jensen at Sister Bay Trading Company. From the selection of our builder to the completion of our home, Marilyn was there every step of the way. She seemed to intuitively know exactly what we wanted and always kept us on track. In details large and small, Marilyn took ownership as if she was building her own home. Thanks to Marilyn and her entire staff, we have the perfect summer home!

"Our experience with Sister Bay Trading during our recent condo remodel moved our condo from a convenient get-away property into our "home". We appreciated the ability to work hand in hand with the sub contractors in putting "sweat equity" into the project, and loved working with Marilyn on the design, artistic influences, etc. that truly reflect our taste and style. Our condo feels like "us" now. We truly enjoyed getting to know everyone affiliated with Sister Bay Trading and hope to work with all again on a future project.

- Kim and Doug Allison, Sister Bluff Estates
