Mudroom in Milton

We design mudrooms for homes in Chicago, Southwest Michigan, and Atlanta. This service focuses on creating a dedicated, organized entry space for daily living. We plan the layout and select all materials for your mudroom.

What we do

Our process begins with a Design consultation to understand your home and how you use your entry space. We then present your design, including initial layouts and material concepts. Construction documents follow, providing detailed drawings for your contractor. Material selections cover all finishes, fixtures, and built-ins. We conduct Jobsite inspections to ensure the design is executed as planned, and we guide you through the Finishing touches.

Who it suits

This service is for homes in Chicago, Southwest Michigan, and Atlanta that need a dedicated entry and storage area. It suits older bungalows, new construction, and homes where an existing space can be reconfigured. We design mudrooms for families and individuals who need a highly organized entry.

In Milton

Homes in Milton

Many Milton homes feature 1980s and 1990s two-story traditional houses in subdivisions like Crooked Creek and White Columns, often with separate, closed-off kitchens that we address with Kitchen Design and space planning. Newer construction, such as 2000s and 2010s craftsman-style homes in neighborhoods like The Manor Golf & Country Club, often have large primary bathrooms that can benefit from updated Bathroom Design or Color Consultation. We also work with 1970s ranch-style homes near Crabapple Road, where Mudroom additions or Basement Remodel projects are common.

What homeowners in Milton ask for

Homeowners in Milton frequently request Kitchen Design to update 1980s and 1990s kitchens that often have original oak cabinetry and limited counter space. We also often work on Bathroom Design for primary suites in 2000s homes, which may have dated finishes or inefficient layouts. Full-Home Design projects are common for families looking to refresh their entire living space, including Furnishing & Styling, in their traditional Milton homes.

Mudroom work from the 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.
