In Saint Joseph

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.

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.
