When I told a friend I wanted to remodel my family room but I didn't even know where to begin, my…read morefriend referred me to Stephanie. I'm so glad she did! Stephanie was a delight to work with. She listened to what I wanted to achieve in my room. She was careful to stay within my budget. There were a few problems (as with almost all projects) but she stuck with me until everything was resolved to my satisfaction. I love my new family room and could never have accomplished it without Stephanie's help!

I connected with Stephanie very shortly after I moved to a new townhome. I was looking for someone…read morewho was willing to take on a relatively small project that would help me feel at home in my new space. Stephanie helped me integrate some of my existing furniture with beautiful new pieces to create a beautiful, functional living room. What was one large open space is now two curated areas-- one for watching TV and relaxing, the other a cozy area for reading and entertaining. Stephanie quickly helped me identify my "style" and selected options for rugs, lighting, and seating that I would not have been able to access on my own. She made me (and my partner) feel comfortable, listened to several rounds of feedback, and did it all with grace, patience, and on budget. I look forward to continuing to work with her.

Highly recommend John Plunkett Interiors…read more John & Valerie Plunkett went above & beyond to help us settle into our new home. We trust their judgement, and trust that they would find the best solution for us, and they did. They listened actively to what we like or want. Because they used to own a chain of furniture stores, they have a network of suppliers that they can tap into. They have good tastes, but more importantly, they are very hands on. They don't mind doing the work themselves, whether it's hanging art, installing lights, etc. We also very much appreciate that they repurposed our old furniture and gave them new life by finding great spaces for each piece. We cannot recommend John & Valerie Plunkett enough!!

fabulous kitchen remodel in Logan square neighborhood of Chicago. having done a few kitchen…read moreremodels before (north shore and colorado), I felt some trepidation approaching this project in our new home in Logan square. luckily, I found KBU! I worked with Julie (designer), her team led by Jesus, and of course, owner Owen. Julie came up with ideas I hadn't even thought of and was able to convert an old, smaller space, into something that felt luxurious. Jesus and his team were super hard workers, pleasant to deal with, trustworthy, and highly efficient and knowledgeable. Everything was overseen frequently by Owen. I was blown away with the gorgeous result and the seemlessness with which this project was completed! I highly recommend KBU to everyone!

We were warned repeatedly: "A kitchen remodel will be a nightmare--don't live there while it's…read morehappening!" That, along with a few other cautions, set our expectations before starting our project with Kitchen & Baths Unlimited. For my wife and me, however, the experience turned out very differently. We cannot say enough great things about Nancy (design), Owen (project management) and the entire team that meticulously executed the remodel. While I work from home and my wife commutes downtown, we decided to move forward with gutting and remodeling the vintage kitchen in our 100-year-old farmhouse in Evanston--and we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. Yes, the demolition phase was a bit loud, as expected. But after that, the usual construction noise--hammering and drilling--was manageable. The team did an excellent job minimizing disruption: adjacent rooms were carefully sealed to contain dust, wood floors were protected with panels, and window treatments were wrapped in plastic. Design selections were also made easy thanks to Nancy, who guided us through choosing colors, cabinets, and countertops that matched our vision. The result is a beautiful transformation from a neglected, dingy farmhouse kitchen into a bright, modern farmhouse space. The Italian tile backsplash complements the quartz countertops with subtle veining. The lower cabinets are a soft gray, while the upper cabinets are white, creating a clean and balanced look. We also upgraded our appliances and fixtures, including LED ceiling lights, a Bosch microwave drawer, a professional KitchenAid range with a matching hood featuring an infrared sensor, and a modern stainless-steel farmhouse sink with a gentle bow. Despite an initial delay with the permit office due to a previously applied for permit that KBU helped us manage, the project stayed on schedule. We made a few minor upgrades along the way, but thanks to Owen and Nancy's guidance, we remained on time and within our overall budget. The KBU crew was professional, punctual, and highly skilled. Communication was seamless--especially since I was working from home--which helped address questions quickly and keep the project moving efficiently. In the end, we passed all inspections and received written approval from the village within a day. For us, this remodel was a great success. Thank you to Nancy, Owen, Patricia, Rade, and the entire team! You are the BEST!

I have to review this place, in light of the last reviewer. I can understand the frustration of not…read morebeing helped by the people on the showroom floor. I have had more luck making an appointment with them when I visit. This company made my first chair 22 years ago and I'm just now, considering purchasing another one. The chair is in fine working condition, but my friend's cat used it as a scratching post when it was in my apartment a while back. The vinyl has a few little holes in it and it doesn't look so nice anymore. Here's the skinny--they are an AMERICAN MANUFACTURING FACILITY. I take this very seriously when purchasing something this expensive. And yes, the AMERICAN PRODUCTS MADE ONSITE cost a bit more than the Chinese products that they also carry (to give people cheaper options). Since the quality is unmatched, I choose them over other companies, period. Once you are in their radar, the service is unmatched too. I'm a customer for life.

Stopped by Veeco to check out their selection of styling chairs. A loud bell rang when I walked…read morethrough the door, but the woman at the desk closest to the door simply ignored me until I walked closer to her to ask her a question. I walked around the showrooms and it was a good 15 minutes or so until someone actually came up to me to see if I needed any assistance. It was an older gentleman and though he did take a few minutes to show me some chairs, he wasn't the friendliest nor did he seem genuinely interested in helping me. Overall the showrooms are rather drab and the products fairly pricey. They do have a sale section in the backroom where you might be lucky in finding more affordable salon equipment. And one other downside to this place is that it's only open on weekdays and only until 5 pm - making it a bit more challenging for someone who has a 9-5 job.

Unfortunately, due to some previous owner DIY projects, we were forced to renovate our 1990s…read morebathroom and closet sooner than planned. We had a giant tub, a pie-shaped closet, and so much lost space. We needed help conceptualizing how to make the space work aesthetically and functionally. Rebecca not only took our wants list but listened to our lifestyle to understand what we needed out of the space. Her vision is beyond what we could have ever imagined. A month later, we are still talking about how it doesn't feel real how fantastic our Master Bathroom became, a room we adore. Her style is simple, flawless, yet dreamy. She can take an extremely stressful process and make it seamless and easy. She did everything from conceptual layout to vendor selection, procurement, and finishing touches. We did not have an endless budget, and she was conscious of our means but did not ask us to jeopardize style or quality. She went above and beyond to provide us with options, shopping around pricing with her vendors (all of which were great to work with). Her service and style are top-notch. I will only ever do another project with her help.

She took my input/inspo pics and turned them into reality, saving me hours upon hours of time and research.

Overall a great experience and I would recommend her to anyone!

Sometimes she would forget what you wanted but that's why you have to follow up a couple times. But her ppl (contractors) boy oh boy!!!!! Please don't use them. You will have a lot of problems.

Bottom line is she's great but don't use her contractors.

I wish we had more furniture that needed recovered. We absolutely love working with Nick and Lidia!…read moreThey couldn't be more welcoming, helpful or exceptional. They are highly recommended by me and my husband. Not to mention a wonderful family business for all to support. We had 2 office chairs, 8 dining room chairs and 4 kitchen chairs that needed recovered. We met with them in store and they showed us several fabrics that would be easy to manage with our little children but also coordinated with our style. We reached out in December and they were excellent with expediting the eating chairs to have by Christmas, without us even pushing for that. Luckily the fabric was already available but we still didn't expect a 1-2 week turnaround. We are still waiting on the office chairs but are excited to see how The fabric and work done is top notch! The chairs are comfortable, updated and very well upholstered. We've never gotten furniture recovered before but we thought the prices were reasonable for the experience, services and product!
