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 Shoreham
Homes in Shoreham
Shoreham features a mix of homes, including 1950s ranch homes in areas like the Shoreham Village subdivision, where Kitchen Design can update smaller, original layouts. We also see 1970s and 1980s two-story homes in subdivisions off Lakeshore Drive, often with primary bathrooms split into two small rooms, which benefit from Bathroom Design. Many homes, particularly those built in the 1960s near Grand Mere State Park, feature original wood paneling or closed-off living spaces. Furnishing & Styling can help integrate or update these elements, while Living Space design can reconfigure layouts for modern living.
What homeowners in Shoreham ask for
Homeowners in Shoreham frequently seek Kitchen Design to update 1950s and 1960s galley kitchens, often aiming to open them to adjacent dining areas. Bathroom Design is also common for 1970s and 1980s homes, addressing layouts with separate toilet and shower rooms or outdated finishes. We often help with Full-Home Design for homes built in the 1990s, where clients want to update multiple spaces simultaneously. Basement Remodel projects are also popular for adding functional living areas to older 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.
