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 Scottdale
Scottdale features a mix of housing styles, including 1950s ranch homes in neighborhoods like Scottdale Park, often with original galley kitchens that homeowners want to open up to living spaces. Many homes in the Avondale Dunaire area are 1920s bungalows, where we often address smaller bathrooms or create more functional Mudroom spaces. Newer construction, such as the 2000s townhomes near the Scottdale-Decatur border, often benefit from Furnishing & Styling or Color Consultation to personalize their interiors. We also work on 1960s brick ranches in the areas around North Avondale Road, frequently updating Kitchen Design and Bathroom Design.
What homeowners in Scottdale ask for
Homeowners in Scottdale frequently seek Kitchen Design to update their 1950s ranch kitchens, often involving removing walls to create open-concept living. Bathroom Design is also common in 1920s bungalows, where original layouts are often small and dated. We also complete Full-Home Design projects for families moving into 1960s ranches, looking to update all living spaces. Basement Remodel projects are popular for adding functional living areas in homes with unfinished lower levels.

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.
