Questions
What is included in Furnishing & Styling?
This service includes a design consultation, presentation of your design, construction documents for furnishing, material selections, jobsite inspections, and finishing touches for your home.
What do I receive at the end of the Furnishing & Styling process?

How does Furnishing & Styling differ from your other services?
Furnishing & Styling focuses on furniture, lighting, and decor, without the structural changes of Kitchen Design, Bath Design, or Full-Home Design. It provides more comprehensive selections than Color Consultation and focuses on specific rooms rather than general Living Space design.

The timeline for Furnishing & Styling projects varies based on the scope and the availability of selected items. We will discuss a projected timeline during your initial design consultation.
Can I use my own contractor for installation?

Homes in Glencoe
Homes in Glencoe include 1920s brick Tudors in areas like Hubbard Woods, often featuring smaller, closed-off kitchens that benefit from Kitchen Design. Many 1950s and 1960s ranch homes in subdivisions near the Chicago Botanic Garden present challenges like low basement ceilings, which we address with Basement Remodel services. Newer construction from the 1990s and 2000s in developments like Meadowbrook often have large, open living spaces that require careful Furnishing & Styling. We also work with 1970s and 1980s homes in areas like the Ravine Bluffs, where primary bathrooms may be split into two small, separate rooms, ideal for Bathroom Design.
What homeowners in Glencoe ask for
Homeowners in Glencoe frequently seek Kitchen Design for their 1920s and 1930s homes, often to open up galley kitchens. Bathroom Design is common for 1970s and 1980s homes where primary baths may be outdated or inefficiently laid out. We also see requests for Basement Remodel projects in 1950s and 1960s ranch-style homes to create more functional living areas. Furnishing & Styling is a frequent request for larger, more open homes built in the 1990s and 2000s.

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.
