Colette is the ultimate collaborator....she is smart, proactive, organized and thorough. As a designer I have worked with Vesta many times, and each time it has been productive and professional........Colette has extensive product knowledge, she has the ability to problem solve and the tenacity to stick with you until any challenge is met and successfully solved. She digs into the heads and habits of our shared clients to figure out the necessary functions of their kitchen and baths, then incorporates those features into the design in a thoughtful and considerate way. The team at Vesta and 2Rz are an inspiration and I look forward to every opportunity to work with them.

Colette is a great person to work with. She is creative, professional, efficient and fun. She knows her business and is honest about things she thinks will work and won't work. She also represents very high quality cabinet lines at mid to mid high price ranges. Colette is flexible and can look at design in various ways. Each project has an individual and creative bent to it. You won't go to Vesta to get the same look every time. I have recommended clients to work with her for all of these reasons. Vesta is also a great showroom in a very accessible location! I highly recommend Vesta and Colette.

This renovation project went completely smoothly-not a single glitch-because Vesta planned perfectly and monitored the execution every step of the way. This is a RAVE review! Colette and her team delivered a beautiful, practical design that met our needs and goals for a new kitchen. We entertain a lot and I cook every day- I wanted an efficient kitchen at a reasonable cost. I also wanted to maximize the storage and prep space in our kitchen's limited footprint. I got exactly what I wanted. The contractor Colette recommended was excellent and finished in record time. We never even had a punch list. Fantastic experience!

There are few showrooms that I trust as much as Vesta. Colette and her team are just as thoughtful, detail-oriented, and attentive to the client as we are. Vesta is one of the few showrooms I would actually send a client into without me present as I have the utmost respect for the way they conduct business. The world of high-end European cabinetry can be frustrating, especially if something goes wrong, but the team at Vesta does a terrific job at managing all projects from start to finish to ensure optimal results and ecstatic clients. I will happily continue to work with Vesta in the future and recommend anyone looking for kitchen, bath, or wardrobe cabinetry to highly consider Vesta for their project.

Creating your dream home is never an easy process. Colette has been with me every step of the way. Her attention to detail and Vesta’s extensive vendor network brought it all together. She listened to my specific needs, solicited ideas and guided me through the process. Colette’s passion for her work was contagious, minimizing stress and creating pleasurable experiences even through challenging parts of the project. Thank you, Colette and Vesta!

Colette and VESTA team made a kitchen remodel a simple undertaking, as they professionally managed all aspects of my project. They offered sound advice and made reasonable suggestions to design a modern kitchen for my urban condo. Using suppliers from Europe and leveraging local expertise, they designed a unique kitchen that I haven't seen in other city homes. I highly recommend VESTA's services.

I worked with VESTA to completely remodel my kitchen as part of a major home renovation. In all aspects of the project, Colette was professional, knowledgeable and responsive - exceeding my expectations at every turn. She provided meaningful information about cabinetry, appliances, lighting and surface materials that allowed me to understand trade-offs and make informed decisions. Her range of skills from high level vision to expertise in the details helped create a kitchen as functional as it is beautiful! For a complex project, the process was amazingly smooth. Although we encountered very few problems, Colette was incredibly quick and creative in resolving them - in my mind, the true measure of a customer focused business. I can recommend VESTA and Colette without qualification - I really enjoyed working with them and am thrilled with my kitchen!!!

I’m one of those people who have great ideas and a pretty good eye but never seem to be able to achieve the final look I wanted on the first go around. I self-design, buy stuff, set it up, and then hate it only to repeat the process. Enter Colette of Vesta. Problem solved. She spends time with you collaborating and getting all of those good ideas, then narrows the focus…a very important step. She is also someone with a honed sense of design shaped by years of experience, a great design skill-set, and a variety of customer desires. She aims to please, will tell you when you’ve gone into the land of bizarro, is amazingly responsive, and reliable. Don’t think on it too hard…just call Colette and you’ll see what I mean.

From our first meeting to post completion follow up, our experience with Vesta Chicago was a great one. Colette’s attention to detail and knowledge of the cabinetry and appliances made what could be an arduous process into a pleasant one. Her eye for the aesthetic and the practical came together seamlessly to result in a beautiful and functional space. Our kitchen is truly the heart of the home. It is full of light and the materials and color she guided us to enhance the space and make it warm, with clean lines and wonderful color. When people ask what we would do differently, we really can’t come up with much. We honestly and truly say “we love our kitchen.

This was an amazing example of when a professional know what they are doing, their product(s) and pays attention to the details, EVERYTHING goes right! Colette was always prepared, creative and on top of all aspects of the project. She handled all the components of our new kitchen i.e. cabinets, appliances, counter tops, custom stonework etc. It all came together seamlessly. Now I get to enjoy the best new kitchen in Chicago!
