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.

Homes in Tucker
Many homes in Tucker include 1960s and 1970s ranch-style houses in neighborhoods like Smoke Rise, often featuring closed-off galley kitchens that we frequently open up as part of our Kitchen Design service. Subdivisions such as Coopers Lake and Idlewood feature 1980s and 1990s two-story traditional homes, where we often address primary bathrooms with outdated finishes or inefficient layouts through our Bathroom Design service. We also work with homeowners in older areas near Main Street, where 1950s brick ranches may have smaller living spaces that benefit from our Furnishing & Styling expertise.
What homeowners in Tucker ask for
Homeowners in Tucker often seek our Full-Home Design service for 1970s and 1980s homes, aiming to update entire floor plans and finishes. We frequently redesign kitchens in 1960s ranches, addressing the common issue of a separate, small kitchen space. Many projects also involve updating primary bathrooms in 1990s two-story homes, where finishes like unpainted oak cabinetry and builder-grade fixtures are common.

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.
