About Valery

After retiring to Maine, Valery decided retirement wasn’t for her, so she started a new career in Kitchen & Bath design, finding success over the past 20 years at EBS Belfast doing Kitchen, Bath and Interior Design.  And when asked – What is the best part of being a kitchen specialist? Valery loves “Making peoples dreams a reality.”

Valery continues “I ask a lot of questions to understand their wants and needs.  I REALLY listen to them, guide them through the process and ensure that they are getting what they want. My favorite part of the process is seeing the look on a client’s face when it all comes together. And, because I love to cook, a functional kitchen is very important to me.”

“Often I have seen a lack of communication can put a project at risk, between builders, homeowners and architects. I ensure that everyone is one the same page through every phase of the project. I also take my own measurements to insure proper fit and installation.”

“My favorite cabinet project of my career? – let me drop a name!  I did a kitchen for Linda Bean (owner LL Bean). She was remodeling a historic home to make the kitchen into a televised training kitchen (something like Emeril Lagasse). She had been to several designers that just couldn’t get it right. After one meeting with her and her chef, I came up with a plan they both loved. “
