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 Sandy Springs
Homes in Sandy Springs
Many Sandy Springs homes feature 1970s and 1980s brick ranches and two-story traditional homes in neighborhoods like Dunwoody Club Forest and Huntcliff. These homes often have closed-off kitchens and primary bathrooms with separate, small wet areas. We frequently provide Kitchen Design and Bathroom Design services to update these spaces, opening up floor plans and creating more cohesive layouts. In areas like Chastain Park and Powers Ferry Road, we also work on 1990s and 2000s larger homes, where homeowners often seek a Full-Home Design approach to update finishes and improve space planning for modern living. These homes sometimes feature original oak cabinetry and finishes that homeowners want to update for a brighter, more contemporary feel.
What homeowners in Sandy Springs ask for
Homeowners in Sandy Springs often seek Kitchen Design to update 1970s and 1980s kitchens with original cabinetry and closed layouts. Many projects involve Bathroom Design for primary suites in homes from the same era, which often have small, separated shower and toilet areas. We also frequently work on Living Space projects to update family rooms and dens, and Furnishing & Styling to refresh interiors 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.
