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.

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 North Decatur
North Decatur homes include 1950s ranch houses in neighborhoods like Medlock Park, where we often address galley kitchens that feel closed off from dining areas through Kitchen Design and space planning. We also work with 1970s split-level homes in areas such as Leafmore Hills, where homeowners frequently seek Bathroom Design solutions for primary baths split into two small rooms. Many homes from the 1960s and 1970s feature unpainted oak trim that homeowners want to update. Our Furnishing & Styling service helps integrate new pieces with existing architectural elements.
What homeowners in North Decatur ask for
Homeowners in North Decatur frequently update 1950s and 1960s kitchens, often seeking Kitchen Design to open up closed-off floor plans and improve flow. Bathroom Design is also popular for 1970s primary bathrooms, where we reconfigure layouts to create more functional spaces. Many projects involve Full-Home Design for properties built in the 1950s through 1970s, addressing outdated finishes and inefficient layouts. We also provide Color Consultation for homes with original wood paneling or trim.

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.
