J. Peterson Design designs homes in Saint Joseph, Michigan. Jennifer Peterson leads our work in Saint Joseph, which is on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan in Berrien County, about a 23-mile drive from our Southwest Michigan office. We design homes that feel considered, comfortable, and personal to the people who live in them.

Homes in Saint Joseph

Saint Joseph has a variety of homes, including 1950s ranch homes in areas like the Hollywood Park neighborhood, which often have small, closed-off kitchens that benefit from Kitchen Design. Many homes also include 1970s and 1980s two-story homes in subdivisions such as Meadowbrook, where primary bathrooms may be split into two small rooms, making Bathroom Design a common request. Newer homes built in the 2000s near Lake Michigan, like those in the North Shore Estates, often feature open-concept living spaces that benefit from Furnishing & Styling. We also work with homeowners in areas like the Broadmoor neighborhood, where 1920s and 1930s homes may have original layouts that need updating through a Full-Home Design.

What homeowners in Saint Joseph ask for

Homeowners in Saint Joseph often seek Kitchen Design to update 1950s galley kitchens, opening them to dining areas. Bathroom Design is also a frequent request for 1970s and 1980s homes with dated fixtures or inefficient layouts. We often provide Furnishing & Styling for newer homes with open living spaces, and Color Consultation for various eras of homes. Basement Remodel projects are common in many Saint Joseph homes to create additional functional living areas.
