Clarification: when you say "valance" is that what I call a soffit?
The framed up box on the ceiling, covered with drywall, used to fill the
space between the top of your cabinets and the ceiling?

Yes. Soffits are usually outside. In most cases, these are actually blocked out areas used as a chase to hold pipes, wires, maybe down lights, etc. In the old days, these were the square framed up box that grandma hung her plates on above the cabinets.


AKA, "furrdown" around these parts.
