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 Mountain Park

Homes in Mountain Park

Many homes in Mountain Park are 1970s and 1980s ranch and two-story houses in neighborhoods like Mountain Park Estates and Hidden Creek. These homes often feature closed-off kitchens that we open up with Kitchen Design services, or primary bathrooms with small, separate wet areas that benefit from Bathroom Design. The city also has newer construction, including 1990s and 2000s traditional homes in subdivisions such as Mountain Park Place, where we often provide Furnishing & Styling for spacious living areas. We also work with homeowners on Mudroom designs, converting underutilized spaces near garages into practical entry zones.

What homeowners in Mountain Park ask for

Mountain Park homeowners often seek Kitchen Design to update 1970s and 1980s kitchens, which frequently have original cabinetry and layouts. Many projects involve opening up these kitchens to adjacent living spaces. Bathroom Design is also popular, addressing outdated finishes and inefficient layouts in primary bathrooms from the same era. We also provide Furnishing & Styling services for the larger, more open floor plans found in 1990s and 2000s homes.

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.
