“I had the pleasure of working on two beautiful kitchens with Val. His design skills are amazing. He stayed in constant communication with me on every detail of these projects. Val was there by my side to help me through everything until the projects were completed to perfection.” —Kate Zanoni, Interior Designer
"My husband and I had a fantastic experience with Val Wilson of Alcove Cabinetry & Design Studio. We could not be happier with the outcome of our new kitchen. Val listened to our ideas and was able to make them a reality. Val was extremely detailed in the planning of space and his expertise was invaluable with the choice of cabinets, hardware, countertops, and appliances. I would highly recommend Val Wilson and Alcove Design." —Wendy P., River North, Chicago
“Val designed the cabinetry for both my kitchen (2018) and bathroom (2019). His plans were very detailed and he found creative ways to handle changes and improvements that I couldn’t envision. I love my Wood-Mode cabinets!” —Lynne D., Old Town, Chicago
"Val was a pleasure to work with. We built out a library in our house and he did a great job of listening and of suggesting alternatives. He not only designed the cabinetry, but also helped us by recommending providers for other materials and connecting us with a first-rate general contractor. I can’t stress enough how patient, responsive, and efficient Val is, and I recommend him to anyone." —Rob B., Bucktown, Chicago
"Val designed our kitchen for our second home, a Chicago apartment. Even though we were working with a small template…somehow, Val found space for all we wanted to store. …The kitchen is an exquisite gem!
Recently we worked together to design a large kitchen in a Water Tower Place condominium. Val worked patiently, and remotely, with me in Tucson and the clients in Chicago. …My clients are ecstatic about the storage, lighting and flow.” —Larry Deutsch, Interior Designer
