J. Peterson Design creates homes in Candler-McAfee, Georgia, a community located in DeKalb County, east of Atlanta. Jill Kearns leads the Atlanta studio and designs homes throughout Candler-McAfee.

Homes in Candler-McAfee

Many Candler-McAfee homes include 1950s ranch homes in areas like the Columbia Forest subdivision, often with original galley kitchens closed off from dining areas. We provide Kitchen Design to open these spaces and improve flow. The area also features 1970s split-level homes in neighborhoods such as Southland, where primary bathrooms may be split into small, separate rooms. Our Bathroom Design service addresses these layouts, creating more cohesive and functional spaces. Additionally, many homes from these eras feature unpainted oak trim and cabinetry, which we address through Color Consultation.
