Testimonials for The Living Door
It’s one thing for me to tell you what working with me is like. It’s another thing to read what my clients have to say about The Living Door. Here are some reviews from actual clients I’ve been able to partner with on all kinds of projects, both in Sioux Falls and outside the area.
Ruth Ann is absolutely amazing to work with. Not only does she have great taste but she is also a great person. She really takes the time to get to know you so she can make your house exactly what you want. She made our home a dream come true.

I have used Ruth Ann for a variety of projects...remodel design, furniture selection, flip property design and staging of property for sale. She is always willing to provide whatever level of design service we need whether it be on a large scale or a small scale. She can accommodate any style from farmhouse to modern. Working with Ruth Ann is always a very good experience.

RuthAnn is not only a standout amongst interior designers, she is also an asset to any new construction or remodeling project team. She has the ability to see the big picture when it comes to budgeting, keeping a timeline, and communication and follow through with contractors and sub contractors. She maintains many helpful connections within the home building community, and her organizational skills are extremely helpful during the long process of building a home. We hired her for her design work and we continue tor recommend her for all the other qualities and skills she brings to the table.
Callie Schock
Ruth Ann at the Living Door was indispensable during our build and design process. She went above and beyond in terms of advocating for our needs and wishes as her clients. She was on the job site whenever necessary but even when it wasn't necessary, just to ensure our expectations were being met by the long list of subcontractors. I CANNOT imagine going through the often overwhelming build process without Ruth Ann by our side. On top of that, the finishes she helped guide us towards are gorgeous. She understood our style and listened to our budget restraints as well as desires relentlessly. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
