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?
You receive detailed construction documents for furnishing, specifications for all material selections, and a fully furnished and styled room or home.
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.
How long does a Furnishing & Styling project take?
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?
Yes, our construction documents and material selections are provided for your contractor to implement. We conduct jobsite inspections to ensure the design is executed as planned.

Homes in Glenview
Glenview homes include 1950s ranch homes in neighborhoods like Swainwood, often featuring smaller, closed-off kitchens that benefit from Kitchen Design. Subdivisions such as The Glen feature 1990s and 2000s two-story homes, where primary bathrooms might have outdated finishes or layouts, making Bathroom Design a common request. Many homes, including those in the Tall Trees area, have basements built with lower ceiling heights, which we address during Basement Remodel projects. We also see 1970s and 1980s homes near Glenview Road where unpainted oak trim and cabinetry are common, often prompting Color Consultation and Furnishing & Styling updates.
What homeowners in Glenview ask for
Homeowners in Glenview frequently seek Kitchen Design to update 1950s and 1960s galley kitchens. Bathroom Design projects often focus on modernizing primary baths in 1990s and 2000s homes. Basement Remodel projects are common for creating more functional living spaces in homes from various eras. We also provide Furnishing & Styling for living spaces in homes across Glenview.

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.
