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.

In Kildeer

Homes in Kildeer

Many homes in Kildeer, such as the 1980s and 1990s two-story colonials found in subdivisions like Long Grove Lakes and Meadowood, often feature original oak trim and cabinetry. This frequently leads to requests for Kitchen Design or Full-Home Design to update these spaces. Homes built in the early 2000s in developments like Meadowood Estates might have primary bathrooms with separate, smaller shower and toilet rooms, prompting Bathroom Design projects to create more open layouts. We also see requests for Mudroom designs in homes near Kildeer Countryside Elementary School, where families need better organization for everyday entryways.

What homeowners in Kildeer ask for

Homeowners in Kildeer frequently seek Kitchen Design to update 1990s kitchens with original finishes and layouts. Bathroom Design projects are common for 2000s primary bathrooms that feel dated or inefficient. We often address requests for Full-Home Design in two-story homes from the 1980s and 1990s, aiming to refresh multiple living areas. Mudroom projects are also popular in family homes to improve organization.

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.
