Kitchen Design in Duluth
Our Kitchen Design service provides comprehensive plans for new kitchens and kitchen renovations. We design the layout, select materials, and document the details for your contractor to build.
What we do
We begin with a Design consultation to understand your project. We then present your design, including floor plans and elevations. Our Construction documents provide detailed drawings, and we guide Material selections for cabinetry, countertops, and fixtures. During Jobsite inspections, we visit the site to review progress. We conclude with Finishing touches, ensuring all design elements are in place.
Who it suits
This service is for homes in Chicago, Southwest Michigan, and Atlanta needing a new kitchen or a full kitchen renovation. It suits older homes in areas like Buckhead or Lake Forest, or new construction in Saugatuck.

Homes in Duluth
Many homes in Duluth include 1970s and 1980s ranch-style houses in neighborhoods like Sugarloaf Country Club, often with smaller, enclosed kitchens that benefit from Kitchen Design. The 1990s and 2000s saw the development of two-story traditional homes in subdivisions such as Berkeley Hills, which often feature primary bathrooms with separate, small shower and toilet compartments that we address with Bathroom Design. We also work with homeowners in older areas like Downtown Duluth, where 1950s and 1960s brick homes may have outdated finishes and layouts that we update through Full-Home Design. Homes near McDaniel Farm Park often have basements that were not originally finished, providing opportunities for Basement Remodel projects.
What homeowners in Duluth ask for
Homeowners in Duluth often seek Kitchen Design for their 1970s and 1980s ranch homes, aiming to open up galley kitchens. We frequently provide Bathroom Design for 1990s and 2000s two-story homes, reconfiguring primary baths that have small, separated spaces. Full-Home Design is a common request for 1950s and 1960s brick homes, updating original layouts and finishes. Many projects involve Basement Remodel to convert unfinished lower levels into functional living areas.
Kitchen Design work from the studio
Led by Jill Kearns from the Atlanta studio
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.
