Bathroom Design in Candler-McAfee

Our Bath Design service creates detailed plans for new or renovated bathrooms. We design the layout, select all materials, and document the construction details for your contractor.

What we do

Construction documents detail the plumbing locations and electrical needs. Material selections cover everything from tile and fixtures to lighting and paint colors. We conduct jobsite inspections to ensure the design is built as intended, and we assist with finishing touches like accessories.

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.

What homeowners in Candler-McAfee ask for

Homeowners in Candler-McAfee frequently seek Kitchen Design for their 1950s and 1960s ranch homes, often aiming to update original layouts and finishes. Bathroom Design is a common request for 1970s split-level homes, where primary bathrooms often require space planning improvements.

Bathroom Design work from the studio

Led by Jill Kearns from the Atlanta studio

Jennifer Peterson and Jill Kearns, the sisters behind J. Peterson Design

About the studio

Two sisters, one studio

Jennifer Peterson founded J. Peterson Design in 2008 and leads our work in Chicago and Southwest Michigan. Her sister, Jill Kearns, leads the Atlanta studio. Together, we design homes that feel considered and beautiful, but also comfortable, functional, and personal to the people who live in them.

Although we work in different cities, we operate as one studio. We talk through plans, share ideas, question each other, and bring another experienced set of eyes to the decisions that matter. Being sisters makes that collaboration especially natural — there is a shorthand, an honesty, and a shared standard that has been there long before the studio.
