Kitchen & Bathroom Design in Saugatuck

Our Kitchen & Bathroom Design service focuses on the most used spaces in your home. We design new kitchens and bathrooms or redesign existing ones, creating detailed plans for your contractor to build.

What we do

Our process begins with a design consultation to understand your project. We then present your design, including drawings and specifications for your new kitchen or bathroom. Construction documents provide detailed plans for your contractor, and material selections specify all finishes and fixtures. We conduct jobsite inspections during construction and add finishing touches at the project's completion.

Who it suits

This service is for homes in Chicago, Southwest Michigan, and Atlanta. It suits projects like a kitchen remodel in a Chicago bungalow or a new primary bathroom in an Atlanta craftsman home. We also design new kitchens and bathrooms for homes in Southwest Michigan.

In Saugatuck

Homes in Saugatuck

Many Saugatuck homes are 1920s-1950s cottages near Lake Michigan, often with small, enclosed kitchens that we open up through Kitchen Design. The town also has 1970s-1990s two-story homes in areas like the subdivisions off Blue Star Highway, where we often address primary bathrooms split into two small rooms through Bathroom Design. We also work with newer construction near the Kalamazoo River, where homeowners often seek Furnishing & Styling for open-concept living spaces. Our work here often involves updating original finishes in mid-century homes or optimizing layouts in more recent builds.

What homeowners in Saugatuck ask for

Homeowners in Saugatuck often bring us projects involving 1920s-1950s cottage kitchens, seeking Kitchen Design to create more open layouts. We also frequently work on Bathroom Design for 1970s-1990s homes, addressing outdated fixtures and inefficient layouts. Full-Home Design projects are common for properties undergoing significant renovations, particularly those near the water.

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.
