Working with Stephanie Nickolson was an exceptional experience. She brought tremendous thoroughness…read moreto our project -- no detail was overlooked, and we always felt like we were in capable hands. She was incredibly responsive and respectful of our budget and scope, and she made sure every member of our family felt included and heard throughout the process. Stephanie is also truly hands-on with vendors, handling all of those relationships directly, which saved us significant time and stress. Her network of resources is impressive and made a real difference in the options available to us. What really sets her apart is her GC license. She understands how individual projects connect to the broader systems of a home and how all the pieces fit together -- a holistic perspective you don't always find in an interior designer. We'd recommend Stephanie without hesitation.

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.

He is honest, informative patient experienced and in my opiinion was made to be a shade contractor. He is all of those things and more. My wife was loosing her sight and we called his company. We needed some one who was going to help us with our problems and he did muuh more than we expected. He was about half done in our living room whem my wife noticed a bit of light that was bothering her, we did not say anything because he did everything that he said he was going to do. But Kyle over heard us and with a good deal of extra work he changed the installed ones and fimished the job where every thing was completel perfect and never charged us a penny more. Thank uou so so mucch Kyle. We wish you the best.. Tony & Diana Park Ridge

Kyle met all his commitments, was flexible in providing recommendations and multiple quotes for us to choose from as we decided on the specific work we wanted done, and communicated frequently throughout the project.

Jerry showed up on time with samples, took measurements and placed my order. He was very patient when I made a last minute color change.

Jerry is very professional and knowledgeable regarding window treatments. I highly recommend Jerry Block at Spring Interiors.

Greg and Serena are a husband/wife team that have been in business for 20+ years. We had wonderful…read moreservice from them in their former location in NW Chicago. Their pricing was good -- I did online comparisons to be sure. Their showroom was very helpful because we could go there and see various options in person and view how the automation alternatives actually worked. Their in-home visit enabled us to choose materials and colors right in the environment where the blinds would be installed. We choose automated blinds that change position relative to the sunrise and sunset so that we have the perfect combination of light and privacy in our family room with window walls on three sides. We can also control our blinds with Amazon's Alexa or Apple's Siri. This shows the kind of experience that we appreciate. We are so glad to hear that they have relocated to Wilmette, closer to us. This is the kind of service and expertise that this area deserves!

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 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!

He was recommended by our contractor. He came to our house and took measurements and gave us some initial ideas. As we progressed, he came with samples of drapes, blinds, valance fabrics, shades.

Bennett attended our installation and walked us through the different mechanisms (manual, draw, automated). The cost was very reasonable for the amount of work and windows we covered. Our installers, Michael and George, were professional and thorough and diligent. Bennett is kind, professional, and just a pleasure to work with. Five stars!
